Shipping from Dubai
to Samoa.

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 to Samoa takes about 46 days, and air freight takes about 7 days. The sailing is long because the cargo changes ship twice, typically at Singapore and then at Suva in Fiji, rather than because of the distance alone. We watch both connections, since that is where the days are actually won or lost.

Yes, subject to two rules. The vehicle should be 10 years old or less from the year of manufacture, and buses are prohibited. Samoa Customs sets out rules for both right-hand-drive and specified left-hand-drive vehicles, which matters because Dubai stock is mostly left-hand drive and many Pacific countries will not take it. Send us the make, model, year and steering side and we will check before you buy.

Samoa Customs guidance covers both right-hand-drive and specified left-hand-drive vehicles, so left-hand drive is not the automatic refusal it is on some Pacific lanes. The word doing the work is specified, because which left-hand-drive vehicles qualify is defined rather than open. That is a question to settle before you pay for the car, not after it is on the water.

Not a universal one. Ordinary goods clear on the customs entry. Restricted goods need the relevant permit, certificate or approval, so what matters is the commodity rather than a blanket registration. Send us the product and we will confirm before you book.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and whether it is going to Upolu or Savaii. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different.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 both main islands. Apia, Vaitele, Faleula, Siusega, Malie, Afega, Leulumoega, Mulifanua and Lalomanu on Upolu, then Salelologa, Safotu and Asau on Savaii. Anything on Savaii goes by ferry from Upolu, which we quote as its own leg rather than folding in.

Yes. Everything arrives at Apia first and crosses to Savaii by ferry from the western end of Upolu, usually into Salelologa. That second leg depends on the ferry schedule, so we confirm it rather than promising a date we do not control.

The gap is wide enough to be a real question. Sea is about 46 days and air about 7, so for anything urgent or high value air deserves pricing rather than dismissal. It flies into Faaleolo International on Upolu with connections on the way.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Samoa door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs at Apia and bring them to your address.

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 Apia. 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 entry at Apia, along with any permit or certificate a restricted commodity needs.

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 six and a half week lane is often better than sending something early.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads. Personal effects clearance needs supporting documents including a packing list and the bill of lading, and receipts for any new goods packed in with the used ones. We could not verify a returning-resident concession, so we will not promise you relief we have not checked. Tell us your situation and we will find out.

Because Samoa is served by relay rather than by a direct line from the Gulf. The cargo changes ship twice, typically at Singapore and then at Suva. Each transhipment adds handling time and a schedule to catch. Anyone quoting you a month on this lane is quoting a distance, not a service.
