Export from Bangladesh to United Arab Emirates (Dubai)

Dubai is the fastest lane out of Dhaka. Short flight time means produce harvested one morning is on the Al Aweer market floor the next, which is why the most perishable lines move here first and why Dubai works as a re-export hub for the wider Gulf.

What a consignment needs to clear

Food label registration

Packaged food labels are registered with the municipality before first import. We supply artwork, ingredient breakdown and shelf-life justification.

Health and phytosanitary certificates

Fish consignments travel with a health certificate from the Department of Fisheries; fresh plant lines with a phytosanitary certificate.

Arabic labelling

Arabic alongside English on retail packs, including product name, ingredients, origin and production and expiry dates.

Re-export documentation

If you re-export onward into Saudi Arabia, Oman or Qatar, we prepare the origin documents so the onward consignment is not held for a paperwork gap.
