FAQs Related to Shipping to Africa
What paperwork do I actually need for shipping from UAE to Africa?
You'll need commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and sometimes import permits depending on where you're sending stuff. Shipping to Kenya needs different docs than Nigeria or South Africa or Ghana. Same goes for Tanzania, Senegal, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique, Djibouti—every country's a bit different. Good news? We know exactly what each place wants. We prep everything. We file it. Customs officers at Port of Mombasa or Port of Lagos or Port of Durban see our paperwork and wave it through. You don't touch a single form unless you want to.
How fast can you get my freight from Dubai to Africa?
Sea freight from Jebel Ali Port, Khalifa Port, or Fujairah Port to East Africa spots like Port of Mombasa or Port of Djibouti runs about 12-14 days port-to-port. West Africa to Port of Lagos or Tema Port might add a few days depending on routes and transshipment schedules. Need it faster? Air freight gets there in 1-2 days flat. We'll give you exact transit time estimates upfront so there's no confusion. Shipping from Africa to Dubai works the same way—predictable, reliable timelines you can actually count on.
Can you ship vehicles and really heavy machinery to African countries?
Yeah, we do it all the time. Cars, construction materials, industrial machinery, heavy equipment, automotive parts—Triroute shipping moves all of it between the UAE and Africa. We work with automotive companies, manufacturing plants, construction outfits. Got something that needs a 20-foot container? Done. Need a 40-foot high cube for complete vehicles? No problem. Oversized freight that won't fit normal boxes? We've got flat rack containers and open top containers for exactly that. Every shipment comes with freight insurance too, so you're covered if anything weird happens (which it won't, but still).
Which African ports can you actually reach from UAE?
Pretty much all of them. We ship from Jebel Ali Port, Rashid Port, Khalifa Port, Sharjah Port, Hamriyah Port, Ras Al Khaimah Port, Khor Al Fakkan, Fujairah Port, and Abu Dhabi Port. On the Africa side, we hit Port of Mombasa in Kenya, Port of Lagos in Nigeria, Port of Durban and Port of Richards Bay in South Africa, Dar es Salaam Port in Tanzania, Port of Djibouti, Tema Port in Ghana, Alexandria Port and Suez Canal Container Terminal in Egypt, Port of Beira in Mozambique. East Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, North Africa, Central Africa—if there's a port there, we can reach it.
Got warehousing in the UAE if I need to store stuff temporarily?
Yep. We run DG-certified warehouses across the UAE with proper security—24/7 cameras, motion sensors, trained security staff, high-grade locks on everything. Multiple yards packed with top loaders, forklifts, container scales for accurate weighing. You need somewhere to consolidate shipments before they head to Africa? We've got space. Goods coming from African countries and you need temporary storage? Same deal. Works great for e-commerce businesses, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers—anyone who needs flexible, secure space without signing a long-term lease.
What kind of businesses do you work with for UAE-Africa shipping?
All kinds. E-commerce shops, automotive companies, manufacturers, pharmaceutical outfits, food and agriculture exporters, oil and gas operations, electronics distributors, chemical suppliers, construction firms and aerospace companies.
