Moving Dubai | move to the UAE
What to take with you when moving to Dubai (to the UAE)?
When planning a move to Dubai (to the UAE), one of the most important decisions will be what exactly to take with you. You will need to consider the shipping costs per weight and whether it will be more economically viable to purchase an item once you arrive in the UAE. Fortunately, the UAE allows the duty-free import of items that have been owned for longer than six months. However, you should bear in mind that there is a 5% tax on the value of more recently purchased items.
Cargocare Global AG will utilise our many years of experience to offer advice and to help you decide what to take with you when moving to the UAE.
Moving company or forwarding company for moving to Dubai (to the UAE)
Once you have decided to move to Dubai (to the UAE) you will have the option of relocating with a moving company or a freight forwarding company. But what are the differences between the two and which is more suitable for your specific move?
That’s where the big advantage of Cargocare Global AG comes in as we specialise in both removals and pure freight/ forwarding. This affords you the chance to tailor-make your move to suit your specific needs.
Forwarding company for moving to Dubai (to the UAE)
The option we recommend the most is our pure forwarding service to ship your freight to the UAE.
This involves us shipping your belongings from Switzerland to the UAE as follows:
- We collect and package your goods.
- Your goods will be sent to the UAE by sea freight or air freight to your desired address.
- We will assist in the completion of the necessary paperwork and your shipment will go through import clearance. However, you will need to be physically present when your container arrives in the UAE as every container will be inspected.
