Navigating customs regulations can be one of the most complex parts of international trade. At Al Muhalab Cargo, our licensed customs brokers handle every detail, ensuring your cargo clears quickly and without complications.

Entry Processing

Our customs brokers are fully licensed by Dubai Customs and possess in-depth knowledge of UAE tariff schedules, import/export regulations, and commodity classifications. We prepare all required documentation well in advance of arrival, minimizing delays and avoiding costly errors.

Licensed Brokers

Beyond clearance, our brokers assist importers in selecting the most suitable transportation modes, routing options, and carriers. We also advise on letters of credit, cargo insurance, duty payments, and multi-destination re-delivery — giving you complete support from start to finish.

Duty Drawback

If your business imports goods that are later re-exported or used in manufacturing products for export, you may be eligible for a duty drawback refund. Our specialists manage the entire process — from record-keeping to electronic filing — to help you recover eligible duties efficiently.

Dubai Customs Clearance — How It Works

Custom clearance is the process by which goods are officially authorized to enter or leave a country, with all applicable duties paid. Upon successful clearance, customs authorities issue documentation confirming the goods are free to move.
