Shipping from Dubai
to El Salvador.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing in Dubai, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Yes, within the age limits, and the limit depends on the category. Under current customs guidance conventional used vehicles may be up to eight years old, hybrid and electric vehicles up to seven, and heavy vehicles up to fifteen. Pages quoting one figure for the whole country are wrong for two of those three. Send us the make, model, year and fuel type and we will confirm before you buy.

Sea freight to El Salvador averages about 49 days and air freight about 7 days on current route sources. The sea figure is long because cargo transfers twice before reaching Acajutla rather than sailing through. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Because of the routing. Cargo from Jebel Ali transfers twice before it reaches Acajutla, waiting for an onward leg each time. That waiting, not the distance, is what makes the average about 49 days. Most pages on this lane never mention the two transhipments, which is why their figures look optimistic.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in El Salvador it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to El Salvador is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to El Salvador 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. San Salvador, Santa Ana, San Miguel, Soyapango, Santa Tecla, Mejicanos, Apopa, Ciudad Delgado, Sonsonate, San Marcos, Usulutan, Ahuachapan, Zacatecoluca and La Union. The country is small, so the road leg from Acajutla is short.

Acajutla on the Pacific, which is El Salvador’s principal commercial seaport and serves most of the country. La Union on the Gulf of Fonseca is the secondary gateway, though we could not verify regular Dubai container service to it, so we check before quoting anything else.

Yes, before the first commercial import. A person or business carrying out imports has to be registered with the customs authority under the importer and exporter registry procedures. Without it the shipment cannot be entered. It sits with your buyer, so we confirm it before you book.

Often, given the gap. Seven days by air against about seven weeks by sea is one of the wider differences we deal with. Once you count the money tied up in the cargo for that long, the usual assumption that sea is obviously cheaper deserves a proper look. We price both.

It might. Health and food products commonly need sanitary registration in El Salvador, and agricultural cargo needs plant health approval. Both should be arranged before the goods ship rather than after they land. Send us the product and the HS code and we will check.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to El Salvador 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. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Acajutla. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. On a lane this long we will tell you honestly which is better.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in El Salvador. 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, consolidating properly before anything sails is worth the effort.

Yes. We move project cargo to El Salvador as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship into Acajutla. Note that heavy vehicles have their own fifteen year age limit, which is more generous than the eight years for ordinary cars. Send us the size and weight.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads to El Salvador, including San Salvador, Santa Ana and San Miguel. We pack, collect, move and deliver, and we handle the customs clearance so your things are not waiting on paperwork. We could not verify a broad returning national concession, so tell us your situation and we will check rather than promise.
