Frequently asked questions
Clearing at Jebel Ali or moving into the free zone?
Clearing for the local market brings the goods into the UAE; a transfer into JAFZA keeps them inside the free zone. We pick the route by where the goods are going.
How do I avoid demurrage on the container?
Send the documents before the vessel arrives, and we plan collection and return within the line's free time.
