Air Freight from China to the UAE
Direct flights from Shanghai and Guangzhou to Dubai, 3-5 days door-to-door, with free zone warehousing and re-export support.
Overview
Dubai is the re-export hub for Chinese goods moving into the Middle East, Africa and Europe. We offer direct air freight from Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to DXB and DWC, with Jebel Ali free zone warehousing available.
Transit time
Direct flights operate daily with 3-5 day door-to-door delivery. Space tightens during Ramadan and the year-end peak, so book early.
Customs
UAE imports need an importer code or free zone company details, and some goods require SASO or GCC conformity certificates. Re-export cargo can move under bond without paying duty immediately.
