Streamline Trade With Ease

Struggling With Trade & Logistics?

Businesses face multiple challenges

Complex Import/Export Documentation

Exporters are frequently met with what seems to be an unending amount of paperwork, from HS code classifications and certificates of origin to permits and licenses. Being one document short on export documentation could result in an unexpected delay, a rejected shipment, or penalties.

High Duties & Taxes on Direct Shipments into India

When international goods are shipped directly into India, it is likely that there are higher duties and taxes. Items shipped into India without utilizing the UAE-India CEPA framework will not qualify for any reduced or zero-duty benefits, which could save some serious money.

Slow Customs Clearance and Delays

To transfer shipments through Indian ports can take days and-to-weeks due to procedural bottlenecks, inspections, and regulatory checks that need to be completed. Delivery delays create continued chaos in supply chains, and increase local storage expenses.

No Live Shipment Tracking

Many exporters have no idea where exactly their shipments are at any point in time. If exporters do not have access to tracking capabilities and digital dashboards and tools to review shipments, it will be difficult to plan inventory, manage customer expectations, or adjust to a disruption.

Re-Export & Storage Trouble

Companies involved in multi-country business often have trouble effeciently storing, consolidating, or re-exporting shipments. With limited access to duty-free bonded warehouses in India, it can become even more challenging to efficiently optimize global supply chains.

Limited Awareness of CEPA Benefits

Many exporters do not know that, currently, thousands of products are included as part of the India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which qualifies products for preferential tariffs and/or better regulatory arrangements. Without utilizing an expert advisor who understands customs and regulatory clearance, these exporters may be missing out on significant savings and competitor advantages.
Seamless Access to World

Why Export via UAE?

Strategic Gateway to India & Global Markets
The location of the UAE as a transit territory between the East and West means it’s ideally suited to be a re-export and logistics hub. Direct shipping routes to key Indian ports including Mumbai, Chennai, and Kochi as well as timely shipping to Africa, Europe, and Asia put all markets in your reach. The UAE gets your goods to market quicker, at lower costs, and with less risk than other options.
CEPA Trade Benefits
The India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) enhances the re-export strategy. Thousands of products qualify for reduced or zero duties when shipped through the UAE, so your exports can be priced competitively and give your product the opportunity to enter India’s quickly growing market. Not re-exporting through the UAE greatly increases the risk of unnecessary duties and spending substantially more on freight.
World-Class Ports & Airports
The UAE is home to some of the world's state-of-the-art logistics infrastructure systems, for example, Jebel Ali Port, Dubai South Airport and Khalifa Port. These global gateways facilitate faster cargo handling, established customs clearance procedures, and integrated modes of transport that help businesses manage delays and scale up their exports with ease.
Benefits of Free Zones
Establishing a business in UAE Free Zones, for example, JAFZA, DMCC, or KIZAD, come with advantages that cannot be replicated too easily anywhere else. You can expect the following benefits: 100% foreign ownership on your operational facility, 0% corporate tax, duty-free warehousing, and the ability to make exports more efficient. In addition to being a good place to do business, free zones allow business owners to consolidate shipments, re-label products (for multiple countries), and traverse borders without the regulatory burden.
Global Access
With flights, shipping lanes and trade connections linking the UAE to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia - you will have access to over 2.5 billion consumers within a 4-hour flight. This choice not only puts UAE as your best entry point for India, but it is also a powerful launchpad for scaling into global markets.

Why would I route my exports through the UAE rather than shipping directly to India?
