Getting a reliable and reputable freight forwarder is not an easy task. To determine whether or not a freight forwarder is suitable for your shipping, there are few questions you should ask yourself and the freight forwarder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Does the freight forwarder have a business license from the Government of China? Having a business license makes things legal and straightforward for you.<\/p>\n
2. Does the company have a good insurance policy in place? Having a good insurance plan is very important because it will pay for your product if there is any harm to your shipment or warehousing.<\/p>\n
3. Does the freight forwarder have an official website and positive reviews on Google? You can find the necessary details about their products and costs on their website. Not to mention that, in these modern days, Google reviews are a must-have for any business that values itself and takes care of its customers.<\/p>\n
4. Do they have a full cargo tracking system to monitor the cargo progress in real-time? Having a freight shipping partner that provides cargo tracking is important because you can see in real-time where your shipment is and how much time it takes to get to the final destination.<\/p>\n

Before talking about modes of transportation from China to the United Arab Emirates it is good to have an understanding of the import customs procedures in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Import customs procedures in the United Arab Emirates<\/p>\n
For more information on the United Arab Emirates Customs, please visit the website of the Federal Customs Authority.<\/p>\n
All imported meats (beef and poultry products) require a health certificate issued by the country of export and a Halal slaughter certificate issued by the authorized Islamic Center in that country.<\/p>\n

Express delivery is an easy and less complicated method of shipping goods. Studies conducted in the past have shown that only a very small percentage of high-value goods are transported by courier. If your order is urgent and you need it delivered fast then express delivery is a good option. The time taken for shipments to be delivered to the United Arab Emirates with FedEx<\/a>, UPS<\/a>, or DHL<\/a> is one to four working days. With express delivery, you get quick delivery and you do not need to worry about taxes or customs clearance. Generally, the costs and rates of express delivery are higher compared to other forms of transport. These costs can rise during festive seasons and drop automatically when the festive season ends.<\/p>\n Freight forwarders can negotiate for a reasonable price from express delivery companies and they are also able to get discounts that you cannot find on the official website of the express company. Shipping less than 100kg of merchandise from China to the United Arab Emirates through express delivery is faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though shipping by sea is the best mode of transporting large loads, it also has its own challenges like goods taking a long time to arrive. You always have to schedule your shipment in advance, particularly if you have a large load (over 500 kg) or if the package volume is more than two cubic meters. From China to the United Arab Emirates, sea shipping time is calculated to be roughly 25 to 41 days from port to port and 42 to 47 days from door to door. There are not many options available for transporting bulk freight; actually, sea transport could be the only appropriate mode if transporting bulk freight. While importing from China, you can choose Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) if your maximum cargo volume does not meet one full container requirement. When it comes to size, there are three types of containers 20 ft., 40 ft. and a 40 ft. high cube container. The 20 ft. containers are designed to carry more weight such as minerals, metals, machinery, sugar, paper, cement, etc., while the 40 ft. containers are designed to carry voluminous cargo rather than heavy cargo, for example, furniture, steel pipes, paper scrap, cotton, tobacco, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LCL should be used if you do not have enough goods to fill a 20 ‘ or 40 ‘ container (FCL). LCL allows importers to ship smaller amounts of cargo that do not have the necessary size to make Full Container Load a viable option. This means your cargo is combined with other shipping cargos for the same destination. When combining several shipments in one container, your freight forwarder needs to do more work. LCL freight is calculated in cubic meters (CBM) and charged based on the volume. Full Container Load refers to when the amount of your products is big enough to be loaded in at least one container. In this case, the freight is measured on the basis of FCL. FCL shipment will be packed and sealed at the source by your supplier and then delivered to your final destination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we all know, due to the nature of most freight, 90% of goods are transported by sea. If you want to transport high-value items quickly and reliably to the United Arab Emirates, such as seasonal goods, clothes, electronics and\/or products that cannot be near water, they use air freight. If your load is around 100 kg, air freight will become a cheaper option. In a matter of days, air freight can take your cargo from the factory floor in China to your destination. Air transport reduces the shipping time between China and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n There are two ways to determine the cost of air freight. The first method is the price per kilogram multiplied by the weight of the freight, and for the second method, for low-density cargo (low-weight and high-volume) will be billed on the basis of the volume it occupies. There are two classes of air freight, economy, and express or fast air transport.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know that you have now established the mode of transport for your goods. You should be ready for the next step, which includes understanding the terms FOB, EXW, ICF, and DAP. Since transport costs are a key factor in the same transport model, knowing these concepts will help you save money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most websites use FOB, EXW, ICF, and DAP quotations. In general, such quotations provide information on where the cargo is being transported to and from, the mode of transport and the equipment used, specifics of the delivery, such as length, weight and description of the goods.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sea shipping from China to the United Arab Emirates<\/a><\/h4>\n
\nChina has several ports such as the port of Shanghai, the port of Ningbo, the port of Shenzhen, the port of Tianjin, the port of Qingdao, the port of Xiamen and the port of Hong Kong, from which your ship can depart to the United Arab Emirates. If your freight forwarder is based in these cities, you will benefit more because the freight forwarder already knows the rules for loading and unloading in each port hence you will save on time and it will be easier for them to handle your cargo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
