Door-to-Door Shipping from India to the UAE: How It Works
From your gate in India to your buyer's warehouse in the UAE — step by step.
Quick answer
Door-to-door shipping from India to the UAE covers pickup from the shipper, export customs clearance, ocean freight to Jebel Ali or Khorfakkan, UAE import clearance by a clearing agent, and delivery to the consignee's warehouse — coordinated by the freight forwarder.
What are the stages of door-to-door shipping?
- Pickup and stuffing at the shipper's premises

Who pays for which part?
The Incoterm decides: under FOB the buyer pays from loading onward; under CIF the seller pays freight and insurance; under DAP or DDP the seller covers delivery to destination (and duties under DDP).
