We know the local legislation. Our agents in Dubai quickly obtain MOFA certificates and ECNP export licenses, avoiding delays and cargo seizure.
Cargo delivery from the UAE: import and export control

The United Arab Emirates today is the main transit hub for high-tech cargo and goods of impulsive demand. Direct import from the UAE of network and peripheral equipment, electronics and auto parts has become the basis of the Russian market. The TransGID company has built a reliable cargo delivery chain from the UAE that works even under tightened export control.We organize direct air delivery in 1-3 days and multimodal container transportation, fully covering documentary support issues. We work only with official оформления and a set of documents. We legalize the cargo at the departure stage: we carry out mandatory legalization of invoices in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, obtain permits for the export of dual-use goods and arrange transit through Dubai for products from Europe and the USA. You receive the cargo in Russia with a full set of documents, officially cleared through customs and input VAT.
Logistics challenges from the UAE
Since 2024, UAE customs has tightened control over exports to Russia — special permits are now required to export electronics, equipment and components.
We take care of the bureaucracy that ordinary transport companies cannot handle:
- MOFA Certificate. A mandatory procedure for import and export. We certify the invoice and certificate of origin through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, confirming the legality of the transaction for customs and banks.
- ECNP permit. Export control permission is required to export technological goods (chips, servers, machines). We help obtain an individual number and barcode for the air waybill.
- Export declaration. We arrange export from any free economic zone in Dubai: Jebel Ali, DAFZA, Dubai South.
If your bank does not process payments in dirhams or dollars, we will arrange payment to the supplier in compliance with Russian foreign exchange control or conduct a local purchase of goods in the UAE.
We operate under our own customs representative license. You receive legally imported goods with a customs declaration number (CD).
We handle both full container loads (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) shipments. We are ready to deliver commercial cargo of any weight, starting from a single test sample.
Types of transportation from the UAE
Depending on the cargo volume, we offer two logistics formats:
- General cargo. We book space on a vessel for you or charter a separate flight. This is optimal for large shipments of machinery, vehicles, and bulk supplies.
- Consolidated cargo from the UAE. If you have a small shipment, we combine it with other clients' goods at our consolidation warehouse in Dubai. You pay only for the actual space in the container or truck. This reduces the shipping cost as transportation expenses are shared among all customers.
Routes and delivery times from Dubai to Russia
- Delivery from Dubai to Moscow (Air freight). Direct flights from DXB and DWC airports to Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo. Duration: 1-3 days. Ideal for electronics, samples, and urgent spare parts.
- Sea freight (Containers). Shipping from the Jebel Ali port via Novorossiysk or Far Eastern ports with further transshipment to rail. Duration: 25-30 days.
- Multimodal transportation. Sea + Road transport via Iran or Turkey. A balance between cost and time.
How we work: delivery stages
We implement a multimodal delivery scheme, taking on all links of the logistics chain:
- Pickup of the cargo. We contact the supplier, pick up the goods from the factory or warehouse in any emirate and transport it to our consolidation terminal.
- Export formalities. We issue licenses, certify documents, and arrange MOFA formalities.
- International freight. We supervise loading onto a ship or airplane. We insure the cargo against the risks of damage and loss.
- Customs clearance. We submit a declaration to the temporary storage warehouse in Russia. With correctly prepared documents, customs clearance takes no more than 1 working day.
- Delivery across Russia. We send the released cargo to your warehouse in Moscow or hand it over to domestic transportation companies for delivery to the regions.
What goods do we deliver from the UAE
We specialize in commercial B2B supplies and transit of complex categories:
- Auto parts and oils: delivery of auto parts from the UAE (original parts, consumables) that are in transit or from warehouses in Sharjah.
- Electronics and IT equipment: delivery of electronics from Dubai (servers, computers, networking equipment).
- Industrial equipment: machine tools, water purification systems, solar panels, pumps.
- Consumer goods: textiles, hotel furniture, cosmetics, coffee and spices.
- Chemical products: industrial chemicals, polymers and plastics.
Financial logistics: payment to the supplier
If your bank does not process payments in dirhams or dollars, we will solve this problem:
- We will arrange payment to your suppliers in compliance with currency control.
- We will arrange for the local purchase of goods in the UAE.
Do you work with individuals?
No, our company provides services only to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.
Is it possible to collect cargo from different suppliers?
Yes. We use consolidation warehouses in the UAE. You can purchase goods from three different factories — we will pick them up, combine them into one shipment, repack and send them under one waybill.
What to do if the goods are sanctioned?
We handle such cases individually and find the optimal solution for clients on the possibility of organizing legally clean delivery of goods to Russia
How much does delivery from Dubai cost?
The price depends on the type of transport and the characteristics of the goods. For a preliminary calculation of air freight or groupage shipment, the volume formula is used: (L*W*H)/6000 (mm). To find out the exact amount, we only need your packing list and proforma invoice.
Is the shipment insured during transportation?
Definitely. We work with major insurance agents. The policy covers the risks of deformation, damage and complete loss of cargo at all stages: from loading with a crane at the port to delivery at your warehouse.
