Middle East
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Gulf, served through Jebel Ali, Dammam and Sohar.
The Gulf is both a destination market and one of the world's principal re-export hubs. Cargo landing at Jebel Ali frequently moves on to East Africa, South Asia or Central Asia after consolidation.
Standards compliance is more formalised here than in most of our markets. Regulated goods require conformity certification and Arabic labelling, and enforcement at the border is consistent rather than discretionary.
Demand is weighted towards minerals for regional smelters, bitumen for construction programmes and food commodities for re-export trade.
