FAQ
Shipping from Dubai to Malaysia: common questions
How long does shipping from Dubai to Malaysia take?
It depends on the routing and the sailing. Sea freight to Port Klang takes from several days to a few weeks, and air cargo takes a few days. We confirm the current transit time with each quote.
Do you have an office in Malaysia?
We work with a network partner office in Malaysia that clears and delivers our clients' cargo. Our Dubai team manages the booking, export clearance and your updates.
Which Malaysian port do you use?
Mainly Port Klang near Kuala Lumpur, with Tanjung Pelepas for Johor and Penang for the north.
Can I ship my household goods home to Malaysia?
Yes. We ship household goods and personal effects for families moving home, by sea in a container or by air.
Can I ship a car from Dubai to Malaysia?
Rarely. Malaysia drives on the left and needs an Approved Permit for imported cars. Ask us before you buy.
Is there a minimum for air freight?
Yes, 45 kg chargeable weight. We are a freight forwarder, not a courier, so we do not move documents or small parcels. Chargeable weight is the actual weight or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
