GCC · Indonesia Corridor
Air freight DXB–CGK. Sea freight Jebel Ali–Tanjung Priok. Halal logistics. Indonesian customs clearance. One point of contact in Dubai.
What We Do
We handle the full movement from your UAE supplier or warehouse to your consignee's door in Jakarta, Surabaya, or anywhere in Indonesia. One team, one point of contact, end to end.
Direct Emirates services and transhipment via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Pre-alert documentation handled as standard. 24–48 hour door-to-door achievable for documentation-clean shipments. Specialist handling for electronics, pharmaceuticals and high-value cargo.
FCL and LCL on the Jebel Ali–Tanjung Priok and Jebel Ali–Tanjung Perak corridors. Current port congestion conditions factored into every transit estimate. IUAE-CEPA certificates of origin issued as standard for qualifying cargo.
Documentation preparation for Halal-certified products entering Indonesia — BPJPH compliance, certificate of origin and commercial invoice requirements. Separate Halal storage at our Dubai Cargo Village facility. Cold chain capability for temperature-sensitive Halal products.
We work with established Indonesian customs brokers in Jakarta and Surabaya. Pre-arrival notification (PIB) coordinated before departure from Dubai. Green Lane documentation preparation as standard. Red Lane avoidance strategy for first-time exporters.
Short and long-term storage at Dubai Cargo Village for cargo awaiting consolidation to Indonesia. Pick and pack for multi-SKU consignments. Consolidation of GCC-origin goods from multiple suppliers before a single Indonesia-bound shipment.
Before your first shipment to Indonesia, we review your documentation against Indonesian customs requirements — HS codes, import licences, Halal certificates, CEPA origin documents. Catch issues before departure, not after a hold at Tanjung Priok.
