Customs Clearance at Jebel Ali Port
Jebel Ali is the main gateway for cargo into and out of Dubai. NHK Logistics prepares your declarations, checks the documents before the cargo lands, and arranges collection from the port so containers and vehicles do not pick up storage charges.
What we handle
- Import and export declarations with Dubai Customs
- Document checks: invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin
- Guidance on duty and the HS code for your goods
- Vehicle clearance at Jebel Ali
- Container collection and delivery to your warehouse or site
Avoiding delays and port charges
Most clearance delays come from missing or mismatched documents. Send us the paperwork as soon as the cargo is shipped, and we check it before arrival so the declaration can be filed quickly and the cargo released without extra days in the port.
Clearance plus transport
Clearance can be booked on its own, or together with the sea freight, warehousing and final delivery, so one team follows the shipment from the vessel to your door.
