Shipping from Dubai
to Nicaragua.

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.

Only if it is under five years old. Nicaragua prohibits ordinary import of vehicles five years old or older, which is the strictest limit in Central America. There are specified exceptions covering certain historic or classic vehicles and defined donation, cargo and public transport categories, but a normal used car will usually fail. Send us the make, model and year before you buy and we will tell you where you stand.

Sea freight to Nicaragua averages about 49 days and air freight about 7 days on current route models. Cargo normally moves through Corinto with two transhipments, and the waiting at each transfer is what makes the sea figure what it is. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Yes, and it is the thing that catches people out on this lane. A commercial importer first registers as a taxpayer with the revenue authority, and then registers that taxpayer number separately with the customs authority. Getting the first and assuming it covers the second leaves the shipment stuck. We confirm both before you book.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Nicaragua it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Nicaragua is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Nicaragua 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. Managua, Leon, Masaya, Matagalpa, Chinandega, Granada, Esteli, Jinotega, Tipitapa, Juigalpa, Bluefields, Rivas, Ocotal, Somoto, Corinto and Puerto Cabezas. The Caribbean coast is separated from the rest of the country by difficult terrain, so we quote that leg separately rather than folding it in.

Corinto on the Pacific, which is Nicaragua’s main international container gateway and serves the populated west and centre. Bluefields and El Bluff on the Caribbean side are regional gateways with far more limited international options, and reaching them is a different logistics problem rather than an alternative for the same cargo.

Yes, but tell us early. Bluefields and Puerto Cabezas are separated from the rest of Nicaragua by difficult terrain, so cargo either uses a regional Caribbean service or goes overland from the Pacific side on a long leg. That leg has its own schedule and cost and we quote it properly rather than treating the country as one delivery zone.

It might. Controlled imports need prior permits processed through the national single window and the responsible regulator, with health and agricultural products having their own approvals. Those should be obtained before the goods ship. Send us the HS code and we will check.

Often. Seven days by air against about seven weeks by sea is a wide gap, and on cargo where the delay costs you money it is worth pricing properly rather than assuming sea wins. We quote both.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Nicaragua 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 Corinto. 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 Nicaragua. 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 this lane that is useful, because it lets the cargo wait while both buyer registrations are confirmed.

Yes. We move project cargo to Nicaragua as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship into Corinto. Note that some cargo and public transport vehicle categories fall under defined exceptions to the five year rule, so tell us what the equipment is. Send us the size and weight.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads to Nicaragua, including Managua, Leon and Granada. 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 returning national concession, so tell us your situation and we will check rather than promise.
