FMCG export from Dubai to North Africa
Mediterranean discharge, and a documentation set that turns on the origin of the goods rather than the port they left from.

Duty and what governs it
Duty is national across this group. Several states apply GAFTA preferences on goods of Arab origin, so the certificate of origin does real commercial work here: for goods re-exported through Dubai the origin is the country of production, not the UAE, and the Dubai Chamber certificate states it correctly. Libya's conformity requirements move with the security situation and are confirmed per shipment.
How the goods move
Suez and the Mediterranean, or transhipment via a European hub. Misrata is the Libyan gateway we load against.
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 North Africa?
We load against Misrata (LYMRA). 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 North Africa?
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 North Africa?
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.
