It depends on the volume and classification.
Some oil-based perfumes can be shipped by air if they are non-flammable and under the quantity limits. We’ll verify the product’s composition and packaging before advising whether air, sea, or road cargo is most appropriate. For commercial quantities, sea freight is often preferred due to IATA regulations.
❓ How do you protect dates during shipping, especially in hot weather?
We offer climate-smart solutions.
For sensitive shipments like dates, we use insulated packing, moisture-resistant materials, and ventilated containers when needed. For exports during peak heat, we also recommend refrigerated container options (reefer shipment) for large volumes and will go via Jeddah.
❓ Will customs clearance for books require any special documentation?
Usually minimal — but we’ve got it covered.
Books are generally non-restricted, but large commercial shipments may require invoices, country-of-origin documents, and in rare cases, content clearance if going to sensitive destinations. Our team will handle all paperwork for smooth processing.
