Customs Clearance

Customs Clearance Across the UAE

Import and export clearance through Dubai Customs, Abu Dhabi Customs and the UAE Federal Customs Authority — handled by brokers who work the process daily.

Every shipment entering or leaving the UAE — by air, sea or land — must clear customs before it can move on. King Fisher Wings Group's customs desk manages this process across Dubai Customs, Abu Dhabi Customs and the UAE Federal Customs Authority, working directly with platforms such as Dubai Trade and Mirsal 2 to file declarations correctly the first time.

We handle HS code classification, duty and VAT calculation, certificate of origin verification, and coordination with relevant authorities for regulated goods (such as food, cosmetics, electronics or medical items requiring additional approvals). For shipments moving through UAE free zones like JAFZA or DAFZA, we also manage the specific documentation those zones require.

Whether your goods are arriving at Jebel Ali Port, Dubai International Airport, or crossing a GCC land border, our goal is the same: clear your cargo as quickly as the regulations allow, with no surprises on duty or documentation.
