Transit trade through Dubai
We buy goods in one country and sell them to a buyer in another. The goods take the shortest route; the contract, the payment and the follow up sit with us in Dubai.
- FOB
- CFR
- CIF
- EXW / FCA Jebel Ali
Two ways a shipment moves
Direct shipment
The cargo sails from the origin port straight to your port. We buy from the supplier and sell to you on two separate contracts, so each side deals with a single, known counterparty.
Re-export via Jebel Ali
The cargo lands in Jebel Ali and is re-shipped, often in smaller lots, mixed loads or to markets with better connections from Dubai. Useful when you buy in steps or need several products in one shipment.
Delivery terms we quote
