Import & Export Business in Fujairah

Fujairah handles bulk, container and breakbulk cargo through a deep-water port that avoids the Strait of Hormuz. An import-export company here can receive from Asia and Africa and forward to the mainland or onward markets under one licence.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

  • Choosing between Fujairah and Jebel Ali without understanding lane economics.
  • Customs registration steps spread across several portals.
  • Documentation for certificates of origin and re-export.
