Product and importer
We align the category, importer licence, destination and shipment model.

Shipping from China to the UAE and Dubai
We ship furniture, finishes, machinery and commercial cargo from China through Jebel Ali and UAE air hubs. Goods, packaging, HS codes and import documents are checked before dispatch, followed by delivery to the warehouse or project.

01
Jebel Ali container or air freight
Ocean freight works for FF&E, building materials, machinery and inventory. Air is used for samples, spare parts and urgent openings. For a free-zone or mainland company, the importer and place of final release are defined before booking.
Our estimate covers China pickup, consolidation, inspection, packing, freight, insurance, port charges, clearance support and UAE last mile. This makes the factory purchase comparable with a local quote on a delivered basis.

02
Importer and documents first
The importer licence and registration must cover the product category. Invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and transport documents are prepared in the agreed format, while the HS code is reviewed before sailing.
Regulated goods may require a local permit, product registration or conformity evidence. We coordinate the check with the broker and importer while the final legal decision remains specific to their licence and product.
03
Project shipments without site storage
Villa, hotel and restaurant FF&E is divided by construction stage and room. Factories work to approved samples; finish, completeness and room labels are checked before dispatch.
Containers leave in waves matched to site readiness. Finished furniture is not stored beside dusty work, and missing parts are found in China instead of on installation day in Dubai.
How the shipment works
Route
Ocean and air options are priced to the final destination.
Inspection
Quality, quantity, labels and export packaging are checked.
Documents
The invoice, packing list and origin documents follow the agreed format.
Clearance
The broker clears the shipment in mainland UAE or the selected free zone.
Last mile
Cargo reaches the warehouse, villa, hotel or commercial project.
Quality control
The AQL inspection checklist
Every batch goes through the same protocol — from the factory audit to the container seal. Defects are caught in China, not at your warehouse.
- 01
Factory audit before ordering
Business license, export history, a real manufacturer (not a trader), photo report from the site.
- 02
Golden sample before the deposit
An approved reference for materials, color and hardware — the basis for any later claim.
- 03
In-production check (DUPRO)
Inspection of raw materials and semi-finished goods on the line: materials, geometry, spec compliance.
- 04
Final inspection (PSI) to ISO 2859
Sampling at AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor / 0 critical before the balance is paid. The batch is accepted or reworked at the factory's cost.
- 05
Photo and video before packing
Every item is documented before packing; you sign off on the report.
- 06
Loading check and container seal
Piece count and packaging verified at loading, container sealed.
- 07
Report for your approval
The balance is paid to the factory only after you confirm the report.
- Request a batch inspection
The outcome: defects stay in China
An inspection costs a fraction of a percent of the batch. Skipping it costs rework, a delayed opening and a second freight run — at your expense.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from China to Dubai take?+
Ocean freight is commonly planned within roughly 18–35 days after cargo readiness. Air is faster but more expensive. Origin port, carrier and UAE clearance affect the final schedule.
Can goods be imported through a free zone?+
Yes, when the importer licence and onward movement support that structure. The place of release and any mainland import are agreed before booking.
Which UAE import documents are required?+
The base pack normally includes the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and transport document. Specific products may need permits or registration.
Do you deliver to construction sites?+
Yes. Goods are inspected in China, room-labelled and shipped in waves aligned with site readiness and unloading conditions.
Can purchases from Foshan, Guangzhou and other cities be combined?+
Yes. We collect from multiple factories, receive and reconcile them at the warehouse, then build a compatible container load.
