The need to file with governments all over the world for safety, security and commercial reasons has become a de facto part of international logistics. Failing to adequately integrate regulatory compliance electronically into your international freight logistics operations means slower performance and possibly costly fines. Because of the filing diversity that exists with each country, transportation mode and type (e.g. import, export, in-transit and customs declarations), you need to work with experts who understand the local requirements and have the ability to get the critical data from not only your organization, but your trading partners.

We offer the following support:

• Support for import, export and in-transit filings across numerous countries in Gulf, North America, South America, Europe and Asia for air, ocean and truck transportation modes.
• Customs declaration filing support in selected counties in Gulf, North America, Europe and all other Countries.
• Advanced capabilities to gather data from multiple parties and integrate it for filing
• Centralized data store for all filings and compliance agency responses to enable complete audit and reporting capabilities.

In the United Arab Emirates, Customs duty is calculated at the rate of 5% on CIF value, which is worked out based on the commercial invoices for the shipment, however Customs are able to set their own estimated value on the goods, which is final. Commissions and other fees are also dutiable.

Only companies with valid United Arab Emirates trade licenses and Dubai Customs Codes are allowed to import into Dubai, so it is important to partner with a legal, certified and experienced local company like JunisCo.

Documents required for custom clearance are as below:
