food cargo: the essentials

The rules of the lane: Cargo pricing follows weight-or-volume logic everywhere: sea groupage per CBM ($25–60 from Asia), air per chargeable kilo ($2–6 from China), trucks per trip. The quiet costs sit at the destination — port fees, delivery orders, and storage after free days — and belong in any honest quote.

For food products specifically: duty is 0–25% depending on the product; many staples enter at 0–5%; certification — SFDA registration of both the product and the foreign facility; halal certificates for meat and derivatives; Arabic labels with dates and origin. Shelf-life rules are enforced at entry: products arriving with less than half their shelf life remaining are routinely rejected, so production dates must be aligned with sailing schedules.

Everything above applies to food cargo directly — send your details and get exact figures.
