FAQ’s

Still Have Questions?
We’ve Got Answers.

Do you handle import customs clearance in Dubai?

Yes. IMEX coordinates import customs clearance for cargo moving by air, sea and land, including documentation, declaration-related steps and communication about any information needed for release.

What documents are usually required for customs clearance?

Common documents can include a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and an air waybill or bill of lading. A delivery order, trade documents or permits may also be needed, depending on the cargo and channel. Requirements should be confirmed for each shipment.

Do you provide customs clearance across the UAE?

IMEX supports customs-clearance coordination for shipments using relevant UAE airports, seaports, land borders and free zones. The available process depends on the shipment route and the authority or port involved.

Can you clear dangerous goods or restricted cargo?

IMEX can coordinate documentation and clearance steps for regulated cargo where the shipment, carrier and applicable authorities permit it. Additional declarations, permits, NOCs or handling requirements may apply, so share the exact commodity details early.

Can you manage export customs clearance in Dubai?

Yes. We support export declaration coordination, document preparation, relevant permit checks and communication with the freight team so the customs process aligns with the planned departure.

How long does customs clearance take in Dubai?

There is no single timeline for every shipment. Processing can depend on document accuracy, cargo type, declaration route, payments, inspections and whether additional approvals or information are requested. Complete and consistent paperwork can help avoid preventable delays.

Why work with a Dubai customs broker?

A customs broker can help coordinate declarations, review supporting documents and flag missing details before they become avoidable issues. Customs authorities retain responsibility for assessments, inspections and final release decisions.

How can I request a customs clearance quote?

Share the commodity, shipment origin and destination, transport mode, approximate weight or volume and the documents available. This helps the team understand the route and advise on the next steps. You can use the enquiry form or contact IMEX directly.
