FMCG export from Dubai to Asia
Both a destination and an origin: several of these markets are where the goods come from, which changes how a shipment is structured.
| Markets we quote | 13 |
|---|---|
| Ports of loading | Jebel Ali (AEJEA), Khor Fakkan (AEKHL), Fujairah (AEFJR), Sharjah (AESHJ) |
| Ports of discharge we book | Chittagong (BDCGP) |
| Minimum order | One full container per order, mixed across products |
Duty and what governs it
No single customs union applies and duty is national. What matters more on this group is that many of these countries are production origins, so the shorter and cheaper route is frequently a cross-trade — shipping direct from the country of production to your port without the goods passing through Dubai at all. We quote both and let the arithmetic decide.
How the goods move
Direct services on well-served lanes. Where the goods originate in the region we quote the cross-trade alongside the ex-Dubai option, because routing through the UAE adds a leg and a handling cost that a direct sailing does not.
Transit times are confirmed at quotation stage. Gulf routing is volatile, and a transit commitment we cannot honour is worse than no commitment.

Common questions
Which ports do you ship to in Asia?
We load against Chittagong (BDCGP). Other ports in the region are quoted on enquiry; the list here is the ones we book most often, not the limit of where we ship.
What is the minimum order to Asia?
One full container per order. A single product need not fill it. Where it will not, we consolidate compatible products to make up the volume.
Can I mix products in one container to Asia?
Yes, and most orders on these lanes are mixed. One full container per order, but a single product does not have to fill it — we consolidate compatible lines until the volume is made up and confirm the fill before quoting.
Quote a shipment to Asia
Tell us the destination port, the products and the quantities. We confirm the container fill, the conformity position and the shelf life at arrival before quoting.
