Shipping from Dubai
to Denmark.

Sea freight to Denmark takes about 35 to 58 days, and air freight to Denmark takes 2 to 7 days. The sea figure is genuinely that long: there is no direct service, so cargo transfers at least once in northern Europe and waits for the onward leg. Current planning puts Copenhagen at around 36 days and one Aarhus model at around 58. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Because nothing runs direct. A ship coming through the Suez Canal reaches the Mediterranean and Adriatic ports first, and cargo for the Baltic and the Danish coast has to transfer, sometimes twice, waiting for the next leg each time. Greece is about eleven days on the same routing. Denmark can be five times that.

On this lane, often yes, and we will price both. Air is 2 to 7 days against a sea leg that can run beyond a month and a half. That is a bigger gap than on almost any other European lane, so the usual assumption that sea is obviously cheaper deserves a second look once you count the money tied up in the cargo.

Aarhus, not Copenhagen. That catches people out because Copenhagen is the capital. Copenhagen does serve Zealand and current planning actually shows it as the quicker of the two from Dubai. Esbjerg on the North Sea handles roll-on roll-off, project and energy cargo.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Denmark it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Denmark is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Denmark is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Randers, Kolding, Horsens, Vejle, Roskilde, Herning, Silkeborg, Naestved, Fredericia, Viborg and Koge. Just give us the address and we bring it to the door.

Copenhagen for Zealand and the capital region. Billund if the delivery is in central or western Jutland, because it saves the road leg across from Copenhagen and a bridge crossing. Tell us the delivery town and we will pick.

It is a free trading number used across the European Union. Whoever imports the goods needs one and no customs operation happens without it. It is quick to get online, and we check it before we load.

It is the EU safety and security system. A filing called an Entry Summary Declaration has to reach EU customs before your goods arrive. The carrier files it and we supply the data. On this lane it is rarely the constraint, since the cargo is on the water for a month or more.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Denmark door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. On a lane this long, a shared container can wait longer for consolidation, so we will tell you honestly which is better.

Yes, and the tax is the part to plan for rather than the shipping. Denmark charges a registration tax on top of customs duty and VAT, and the car goes through inspection before it can be registered. That is a separate process from clearing customs and it is where the real cost sits. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number and we will set out the sequence.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in Denmark. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. On a lane this long, getting the consolidation right before anything sails matters more than usual.

Yes. We move project cargo to Denmark as well, and Esbjerg is set up for exactly this kind of traffic, including the offshore energy sector. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. Send us the size and weight and we will work out the best way to move it.

You may. Danish customs allow duty and VAT relief on personal belongings when you move from outside the EU, and the guidance normally requires at least twelve consecutive months of previous residence outside the EU. Evidence of at least six months ownership can be asked for on higher-value items. Tell us your situation and we will explain what to expect.
