Shipping from Toronto to Fujairah serves receivers on the Emirates' east coast. The carrier's conditions for the UAE say the cargo is unloaded at the CFS in Jebel Ali and cleared by customs in Dubai, so the consignee should plan the formalities there before taking the goods to Fujairah. Timing depends on the carrier's sailings and on customs at destination, which is why no arrival date is promised.
Small Ontario manufacturers selling spare parts in the Gulf, Pakistani and Indian families with relatives working in Fujairah and Sharjah, and professionals moving to the east coast all book this route. Customs needs a 6-digit HS code for every item, personal effects are released only to a receiver with a valid visa or UAE ID, and an electronic MPCI filing fee of USD 45 per bill of lading is one of the carrier's conditions. Overweight rules apply from 4 tonnes. Bring the cartons to the Mississauga warehouse beside Pearson airport yourself: A1 Freight Forwarding Inc. offers no pickup or palletizing, requires ISPM 15 wood and keeps the declared value under CAD 2,000.
