Shipping from Dubai
to New Caledonia.

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 35 to 40 days, and air freight takes 6 to 8 days. Current route planning puts Jebel Ali to Noumea in that range through one transhipment, including terminal handling. It is one of the longer sea lanes we run, which is geography rather than service quality.

The 24 month figure that circulates on this subject is not an import ban. It belongs to the relocation relief rules, where a vehicle must have been acquired more than 24 months before importation to qualify for duty free treatment on a move. It is a condition for relief, not a bar on entry. We could not verify a general maximum age for ordinary vehicle imports. Send us the make, model and year and we will check rather than guess.

Not a universal one. There is no blanket import authorisation for commercial goods, so most ordinary cargo clears on the standard customs declaration. Plant and animal products are the exception and need sanitary or phytosanitary permits from the local rural affairs authority. Send us the product and we will confirm before you book.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where on Grande Terre it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different.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. Air freight is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we will put it in writing.

Across Grande Terre. Noumea, Dumbea, Mont-Dore, Paita, Bourail, Kone, Poindimie, La Foa, Koumac, Voh, Thio, Canala, Houailou, Poya, Boulouparis and Yate. Almost everything arrives at Noumea, so the variable on this lane is the road leg rather than the port.

For containerised cargo, effectively yes. Noumea is the principal international gateway and handles almost all container traffic. Ducos and Doniambo are industrial and bulk terminals in the same harbour area rather than alternative destinations, though for heavy industrial consignments they can be relevant and we will say so.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to New Caledonia door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs and bring them to your address anywhere on Grande Terre.

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 Noumea. 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.

The gap is wide enough to make it a real question. Sea is 35 to 40 days and air is 6 to 8, so for anything urgent or high value air is worth pricing rather than dismissing. La Tontouta is the international gateway, about an hour by road from Noumea.

Yes, at both ends. We do customs clearance in Dubai and the declaration in the territory customs system on arrival, along with any sanitary 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 on a 35 to 40 day lane is often better than shipping something before you need it there.

Yes. We move project cargo to New Caledonia as well, and the nickel industry means heavy equipment is a real part of this lane. Big items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship, and for bulk industrial consignments the Doniambo terminal can be the right berth. Send us the size, weight and destination.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads. Relocation relief has its own conditions, including how long you have owned the goods and how long you have lived abroad, and for a vehicle the 24 month ownership point applies to that relief rather than to entry. Tell us your dates and we will work through it with you.

Yes. Kone, Koumac and Voh are all reached by road from Noumea, and it is a long drive. We quote that leg properly rather than pretending the island is one delivery zone, because the difference between a Noumea delivery and a Koumac one is real.
