Door-to-door to UAE
Sea and air freight to Jebel Ali, Mirsal 2 clearance and last-mile — handled end to end.

Indicative sea freight only — rates move with lane, season and fuel. We give you a live rate for your exact volume and lane, usually within a working day.
LCL vs FCL — how to read the result
LCL is priced per CBM and suits smaller loads; FCL is a flat rate per container and wins once you fill most of a 20ft box (roughly 15+ CBM). The other lever is consolidation — combining several factories into one shipment, which typically cuts 25–40% off multi-supplier freight. Sea to Jebel Ali runs 18–30 days.

Frequently asked questions
How much does shipping from China to UAE cost?
LCL is priced per CBM and FCL is a flat container rate; both move with lane and season. Use the calculator for an estimate, then we quote a live rate for your exact shipment.
Should I use LCL or FCL?
Below ~15 CBM, LCL usually wins; above that, a full container is cheaper per unit. The calculator flags which fits your volume.
How do I lower the cost?
Consolidate suppliers into one shipment, choose sea over air, and fill a container where you can — together that typically beats any single cheap-freight offer.
