What Our Customers Say
"Free zone entry deferred the VAT entirely"
We were paying 5% VAT on goods that were only passing through. ExFreight restructured our entries through Jebel Ali Free Zone and the VAT only applies to what actually enters the mainland.
John Smith
Supply Chain Manager, UAE importer
300+ shipments
- Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"Free zone entry deferred the VAT entirely"
We were paying 5% VAT on goods that were only passing through. ExFreight restructured our entries through Jebel Ali Free Zone and the VAT only applies to what actually enters the mainland.
David Nguyen
Import-Export Specialist, UAE importer

- Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"Jebel Ali cleared in two days on Mirsal 2"
The declaration goes in before the vessel berths. Two days from discharge to our warehouse in DIP, every time.
Maria Garcia
Logistics Director, UAE importer
400+ shipments
- Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates
"Dubai as the hub for the whole Gulf"
One container into Jebel Ali, then ExFreight distributes to Saudi, Oman and Kuwait. We stopped shipping to four countries separately.
Sarah Johnson
Head of Operations, UAE importer
180+ shipments
- Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"ESMA conformity handled before the shipment"
Our electrical goods needed ESMA marking. ExFreight sorted the conformity certificate before loading rather than after a hold.
Miguel Pérez
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
"Air to DWC when the project slips"
Oversized equipment flies into Dubai World Central and clears within a day. ExFreight books the freighter capacity and the customs entry together.
Anna Kowalski
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
"Arabic labelling reviewed at artwork stage"
Retail packs need compliant Arabic labelling. ExFreight flagged ours before print and saved a full production run.
James O'Brien
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"LCL into Jebel Ali below what we were paying"
For part-container volumes from the East Coast, ExFreight rates run 20-30% under our previous forwarder, with weekly consolidation.
Elena Rossi
Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
"Khalifa Port for Abu Dhabi, not a truck from Dubai"
ExFreight moved our Abu Dhabi volume to Khalifa Port. Shorter inland leg, lower cost, same ocean rate.
Thomas Lang
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
"Six years of Gulf freight without a single seizure"
ExFreight has managed our USA-UAE corridor since 2020. Through the VAT introduction and the Red Sea diversions, our shipments have always arrived.
Rachel Adams
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
