Streamlined Customs Processing

Kavalier Logistics operates a dedicated in-house customs clearance division staffed by licensed UAE customs brokers with deep knowledge of Federal Customs Authority (FCA) regulations, free zone procedures, and the specific documentation requirements of all major UAE ports and airports.

Customs clearance in the UAE involves navigating the Federal Customs Authority's Mirsal 2 electronic system, Abu Dhabi Customs, Dubai Customs, and free zone authorities such as JAFZA, KIZAD, and ADAFZ. Our brokers are registered and active on all these platforms, enabling fast electronic declaration submission and real-time status tracking for every shipment.

For importers, we handle HS code classification, duty and VAT calculation, import permit coordination (for restricted goods), and physical inspection liaison. For exporters, we prepare export declarations, certificates of origin (Arab League and standard), and coordinate with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce for document legalisation where required. Our ocean freight and air freight teams work in parallel with customs to ensure documentation is ready before cargo arrives at the port or airport.

We also provide customs consultancy for businesses entering the UAE market — advising on duty rates, free zone vs mainland import structures, temporary admission procedures, and ATA Carnet arrangements for exhibition goods. For bonded cargo, our bonded warehousing facility allows goods to be stored under customs control before duty payment, improving your cash flow.
