Shipping from Dubai
to Kiribati.

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.

Sea freight takes about 41 days, and air freight takes about 7 days. Current route planning puts Jebel Ali to Tarawa at around 40.8 days with one transhipment. A single relay makes this more predictable than the small Pacific lanes that need two.

Yes, and we use that. Kiribati law permits an import entry to be lodged up to 10 days before the goods arrive, so the clearance work can be done while the cargo is still at sea. It does not remove any requirement, but on a lane with infrequent sailings it keeps the cargo moving off the wharf rather than sitting on it.

Not a universal one. Goods must be entered with Customs, and restricted commodities need the relevant permit or certificate. What matters is the product rather than a blanket registration. Send us the goods and the HS code and we will confirm before you book.

Yes. Kiribati has a published vehicle import and clearance procedure covering the customs declaration and a vehicle inspection. We could not verify a maximum vehicle age, so rather than guess we confirm the current position before you buy. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and whether it stays on Tarawa. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. The domestic leg to an outer island is quoted as its own line. Send us the details.

South Tarawa, Betio, Bairiki, Bikenibeu, Bonriki, Teaoraereke and Eita on the main atoll, then Tabwakea, London and Banana on Kiritimati, and Butaritari and Tabiteuea in the outer islands. Kiribati is spread over an enormous area of ocean, so anything beyond Tarawa depends on the domestic sailing.

Yes. Cargo lands at Tarawa and continues on a domestic service. Kiribati covers a vast stretch of the Pacific, so those legs are real journeys rather than local deliveries, and their schedule sets the date. We confirm it rather than estimating.

For urgent cargo, yes. Sea is about 41 days and air about 7, so the gap justifies it on anything time sensitive. Air flies into Bonriki International on South Tarawa using connecting services.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Kiribati door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them at Tarawa and bring them to your address, including the island leg where one is needed.

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 Tarawa. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes, at both ends. We do customs clearance in Dubai and the import declaration at Tarawa, lodged ahead of arrival where the timing allows, plus any commodity permit the goods need.

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, which matters when you are waiting on a sailing rather than a supplier.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads. We could not verify a household-goods concession for Kiribati, so we will not promise relief we have not checked. Tell us your situation and we will confirm what applies.

Because Kiribati is reached by relay from the Gulf rather than a direct line, and the atolls sit a long way into the central Pacific. One transhipment at about 41 days is actually a good result for this part of the world. Several neighbouring countries need two.
