Routing & handling
Air, sea and road use different frameworks; IATA DGR, IMDG and ADR requirements must be assessed for the applicable leg. The October 2026 operating matrix excludes UAE DG routing via Sohar and does not support DG Jeddah-to-Jebel Ali. These dated restrictions require live reconfirmation; they are not a complete legal route assessment.
Common shipment brief
Provide collection postcode, final city, commodity, origin, value, packed size, gross weight, ready date, delivery deadline and agreed Incoterms. Confirm who handles export and import declarations, duties and taxes.
