Business Description

The logistics process seems like a daunting task to many individuals. Whether you have a large-scale business or a small-scale business, you have to indulge in transportation activities at some point. That is where Freight Forwarders In Dubai come to the rescue. They act as a logistics intermediary between the shipping companies and the businesses in Dubai. That is why we have prepared this logistics guide for you.

Research the market and take quotations

Before you pick from the pool of Freight Forwarding Companies In Dubai, ensure that you have done complete market research. Market research is essential so that you can have an idea about the different services and packages. Ask for quotations from the various logistics companies to decide what’s best for you. Make sure not to choose a service only because they are offering the most affordable prices. It is best to choose a logistics company that has years of experience in the industry. Only a renowned and old company has the expertise to fulfill the process efficiently.

Export haulage

As you finalize the freight shipping company for your transport of goods, it is time to begin the logistics process. Export haulage is the first stage of the logistics process in which the goods are transported from the shipper’s place to the warehouse of the freight forwarder in Dubai. This process is usually done via truck or train. The time it takes depends on several factors, such as geographical distance, climate conditions, and infrastructure-related issues.

Freight checkpoints

As soon as the freight forwarding companies in Dubai transfer goods from the seller’s place to their warehouse, they quickly check the goods. The goal is to ensure that the goods are safe after the first stage and everything is listed on the documents.

Customs clearance

When you import goods from other countries, your Cargo have to go through the customs clearance stage. The customs department verifies all the documents at this stage, without which the goods won’t move to the next phase. The freight forwarders in Dubai have to arrange the documents to clear the customs stage before their arrival. It helps in removing the interruptions during the voyage by saving both money and time for the shippers.

Arrival of goods

After the goods pass the customs clearance stage, it is time to deliver the goods to the destination. Here the freight forwarding companies in Dubai ensure that they carry all the documents of the shipments at the final stage to receive the goods. It is the responsibility of the freight forwarding company to be present at the time of receiving of goods.

Import haulage

Similar to the export haulage, the goods are transported to the shipper’s place from the freight forwarder’s warehouse. However, the shipper always has the choice to collect the consignment on their own.
