Available Shipping Modes

1) Land Freight (Most Popular)

Ideal for general cargo, industrial equipment, pallets, and FMCG. Choose FTL (dedicated truck) or LTL (groupage). We operate box, curtain-side, flatbed, and reefer when temperature control is required.

2) Air Freight

Best for urgent, high-value, or lightweight goods. We book priority uplift and handle airport handling + delivery in Kuwait.

Transit Times

  • Land (UAE → Kuwait): typically 1–3 business days depending on clearance and border traffic.
  • Air (DXB/AUH → KWI): same-day uplift / next-day arrival with swift clearance for complete files.

Required Documents

  • Commercial Invoice & Packing List
  • HS Code and Certificate of Origin
  • Import permits for restricted items (electronics, medical, etc.)
  • MSDS/UN for DG if applicable

Pro tip: Share documents pre-departure. Our team validates HS codes and descriptions to match Kuwaiti customs and the Bayan system.

Cost & Pricing – How We Quote (No Guesswork)

We don’t publish flat rates because every shipment is unique. Instead, we build a tailored quote based on:

  • Mode & urgency: LTL vs FTL vs Air and required ETA.
  • Dimensions & weight: chargeable weight/volume and stackability.
  • Commodity & handling: packaging, reefer, DG/non-DG, special equipment.
  • Routes & seasonality: lane capacity, fuel, peak periods.
  • Customs profile: HS codes, permits, duties, and VAT applicability.

Share your shipment details and we’ll send a clear, itemized quotation with the optimal mode and timeline.
