Branch-assisted corridor
Europe → United Arab Emirates
Free-zone entry, storage and re-export are managed in-house, so cargo is never handed to an unknown agent at the quay. Everything on this page is handled by CargoVault staff at both ends — the European loading bay and the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai branch — under one reference and one tracking number.

Who receives your cargo in United Arab Emirates
Our Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai office. Not a broker found on price that morning, not a name on a forwarding chain you never meet. The same company that sealed the consignment in Europe breaks the seal at destination, and the operator who does it is named on the record.
The paperwork this country demands
Mirsal 2 declaration, free-zone in/out handling, legalised invoices.
All of it is drafted while the cargo is still moving, so the entry is lodged before arrival rather than started after it. That single habit is the difference between a same-day release and a week of storage charges.
Why the border charge exists
$1,520.00 per consignment, stated before you book and never invoiced afterwards. It pays for destination clearance, terminal handling, local compliance filing, branch supervision and the first stage of inland delivery. It does not multiply with volume — a single pallet and a forty-foot box need the same work.
What the schedule really looks like
Sea 24–30 days · Air 1–2 days. We quote the range, not the best case, because weather routing, convoy slots and inspection queues are real. When a leg slips, the ETA in your dashboard changes on its own — and if the slip matters to your customer, you get a call instead of a silent update.
