In short

Importing from China to the UAE is mostly sea freight into Jebel Ali or Khalifa Port, with air freight through Dubai when speed decides. Redline verifies the factory, combines orders from several suppliers into one shipment, inspects the goods before loading, and prepares the invoice, packing list and origin certificate for clearance or re-export.
