Why it matters
One missing certificate can hold your cargo for weeks
Shipping between Chinese manufacturing ports and the GCC means HS code classifications, customs duties and import clearance in the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. A single missing Certificate of Origin or an incorrect tariff classification can mean missed retail seasons and costly demurrage fees.
Fabusse prepares every document before your cargo leaves China, so your fashion inventory clears customs and arrives safely and on time.
