UAE Customs Clearance
Import, export and transit clearance at Dubai's ports and airports, filed by our own licensed brokerage team.
Customs is where most shipments actually lose time, and almost always for documentary reasons rather than physical ones. Cannata files its own declarations rather than passing them to an agent, which means the team preparing the paperwork is the team holding the goods in storage and driving them out on our own trucks. When a query comes back from customs, there is one company to answer it. For a walk through the filing itself, see our complete guide to customs clearance at Jebel Ali.
Sea, air and road arrivals cleared into the local market or into a free zone, with duty and VAT assessed against the correct classification.
Outbound declarations for goods leaving the UAE, including re-export of cargo that never entered the local market. See import and export clearance.
Clearance at Jebel Ali and Dubai on the Gulf, and at Khor Fakkan on the east coast.
Goods moving between a free zone and the UAE mainland are a customs event in their own right. See free zone and mainland clearance.
Goods crossing the UAE on their way somewhere else, and consignments moving by road into the GCC, are cleared alongside the transport rather than as a separate instruction. See cross-border trucking.
Why Cannata
Most freight companies outsource clearance and most brokers do not touch the cargo. Doing both removes the handover where shipments usually stall.
Declarations are prepared in-house rather than passed to a third-party agent, so nobody is waiting on somebody else's queue.
Goods held for inspection or query go into our own warehouses instead of accruing charges at the terminal.
The truck collecting the cargo is ours too, so clearance and delivery are one job rather than two suppliers.
