Exporting goods from Dubai? We’re here to make the process easy for you.
At UKR Shipping, we provide full support for businesses looking to export from Dubai. Whether you're new to exporting or already doing it, we help with everything – from paperwork to customs clearance to final loading.
Step 1: Trade License Check
To export from Dubai, your business needs a valid trade license. If you already have it – great. If not, we can assist anyway. Contact our representative to advise you what further steps we can take to help.
Step 2: Customs Registration
We help you register your business with Dubai Customs so you can get your customs code. This is required for all export operations, and we take care of the registration process on your behalf.
Step 3: HS Code & Product Classification
Every product needs the right HS Code. Our team helps you find and confirm the correct classification for your goods. This step avoids any delays or fines at customs.
Step 4: Preparing Export Documents
We handle all the necessary export documentation for you, including:
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Export declaration
Our team checks everything carefully to avoid rejections or delays.
Step 5: Submitting Export Declarations
Once the documents are ready, we submit the export declaration on your behalf through Dubai Trade. You don’t have to worry about navigating the system – we do it all for you.
Step 6: Customs Fee Payments
If your cargo needs any customs duty payment, we manage it directly with Dubai Customs. We also keep you updated on the costs.
Step 7: Transport to Port or Airport
We arrange pick-up and delivery of your cargo to the chosen port (like Jebel Ali) or airport (like DXB or DWC). Our team ensures all paperwork is with the driver and entry passes are sorted.
Step 8: Customs Clearance & Inspection
We coordinate with customs officers during inspection. If anything needs to be clarified or re-verified, our team is there to handle it quickly and smoothly.
Step 9: Cargo Loading & Export
After clearance, we make sure your cargo is safely loaded onto the ship or aircraft. You’ll get full updates and tracking so you can follow the shipment from start to finish.
