FAQ
Amazon FBA UAE FAQ
Amazon.ae delivery, trade licence, DDP, SEND, and consolidation.
Can you deliver directly to Amazon.ae fulfilment centres?
Yes. We deliver direct to Amazon.ae centres against the appointment on your shipment plan.
Does FBA into the UAE need a trade licence?
For mainland import, yes — a valid UAE trade licence and customs code are required. Free-zone storage works differently. We confirm the structure before booking.
Do you offer DDP to Amazon FBA UAE?
Yes, where the product and importer qualify. We itemise 5% GCC duty, 5% VAT (mainland), brokerage, and delivery. Free-zone storage suspends duty and VAT.
How does a freight forwarder compare to Amazon SEND?
Amazon SEND is Amazon's partnered-carrier program for FBA inventory from China. It is simple for a single-supplier shipment. A forwarder wins for multi-supplier consolidation, DDP, FNSKU prep, customs brokerage, or mode choice. For one supplier and a simple booking SEND is reasonable; for complex shipments, a forwarder owns the workflow.
Can you combine several suppliers into one FBA shipment?
Yes. The Shenzhen warehouse receives multi-supplier cartons, checks counts, labels, and consolidates against the shipment plan.
