The demand for Chinese branded bags and jerseys in the Middle East market has been on the rise in recent years, with an increasing proportion of Chinese made clothing bags and suitcases in shopping centers and e-commerce platforms in Dubai and Riyadh. But the customs clearance threshold for this line is different from Europe and America - the United Arab Emirates is relatively relaxed, while Saudi Arabia has an independent SABER certification system and detailed format requirements for brand authorization letters. Many exporters have stocked up their goods and ordered cabinets, but upon arrival at Jebel Ali or Jeddah Port, they realize that certification has not been done, authorization letters are missing Arabic versions, and labels are not bilingual. The cabinets can only be compressed. We specialize in providing dedicated lines from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan to the Middle East, with full container load (LCL) services available, and these preparations are made prior to container loading.

1、 Shipping prices and delivery time of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Arab brands by sea

1. Shipping time from Shenzhen to Arab brand bags and jerseys by sea

We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou or Dongguan Port, with direct flights to Jebel Ali Port and Abu Dhabi Port in the United Arab Emirates, the sea voyage takes about 18-22 days; It takes about 20-25 days to reach Jeddah Port and Dammam Port in Saudi Arabia. Door to door delivery for the entire container takes about 25-40 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 30-45 days. Both the UAE and Saudi Arabian customs have implemented electronic declaration, with a standard clearance time of about 2-5 days. During the peak season from June to September, cabin availability may be tight, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is more relaxed.

2. Shipping prices of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Arab brands by sea

All inclusive quotation: ocean freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, destination port import customs clearance, customs duties VAT、 The final delivery is included, and it should be calculated clearly before signing the contract. There will be no additional charges in the future.

2、 Shenzhen to Arab brand bags, jerseys, sea freight tax structure: UAE low, Saudi Arabia VAT heavy

1. The United Arab Emirates implements the GCC unified tariff, and the import tariff for clothing and textiles (HS Chapters 61-62) is 5%, calculated based on CIF value. The standard VAT rate is 5%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 5%. The comprehensive tax burden is about 10.25%, which is relatively low in the entire Middle East region. There is also a minimum tax exemption for UAE imports: personal use imports with a value below AED 1000 (approximately $270) are exempt from tariffs and VAT, but commercial imports are not subject to this threshold.

2. The tax and fee structure in Saudi Arabia is significantly heavier. Most clothing and textile tariffs are levied at 5%, while some functional or specific material textiles may be classified as 12% or even higher, calculated based on CIF value. The standard VAT rate is 15%, calculated by multiplying (CIF price+customs duty) by 15%. Taking clothing with a CIF value of $10000 as an example, the tariff is about $500, and the VAT is calculated as (10000+500) x 15% ≈ $1575. The comprehensive tax burden is about 20.75%, which is about twice that of the United Arab Emirates.

3、 Shenzhen to Arab brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance certification: UAE ECAS, Saudi Arabia SABER

1. UAE - ECAS certification is the foundation. Textiles and clothing are within the scope of ECAS (UAE Conformity Assessment Scheme) control. Importers must complete product registration through the ECAS system, submit test reports and label samples, and obtain a conformity certificate before customs clearance. Brand products also need to pay extra attention to brand authorization issues. Dubai Customs has strict supervision over brand goods, and unauthorized genuine products may also be identified as infringing and detained.

2. Saudi Arabia - SABER certification is a hard threshold. Clothing and textiles belong to the medium to low-risk category, but SABER certification is still a mandatory requirement, and clothing cabinets without SCoC certificates cannot be shipped to the port. SABER certification is divided into two steps:

-PCoC (Product Conformity Certificate): Issued by product category, valid for 1 year. After registering in the SABER system, importers submit product information, test reports (issued by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories), label samples, which are reviewed by SASO authorized agencies. Electronic PC certificates are usually issued within 3-5 working days.

-SCoC (Certificate of Conformity for Shipment): Apply separately for each batch of shipment, bind the certificate number to the batch, and verify directly with the customs system during customs clearance. Before shipment, the Saudi importer submits an application in the SABER system, which corresponds one-to-one with the packing list and invoice information.

3. 2026 HS code update: The SABER system has fully updated the 12 digit Saudi HS code, and the old code certificate will become invalid directly. Before shipping, it is necessary to confirm whether the code is up-to-date.

4、 Shenzhen to Arab brand bags, jerseys, sea freight label requirements: Arabic is the bottom line

The GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) has unified requirements for textile labeling: fiber composition, care instructions, and origin must be clearly marked in Arabic and English. Saudi Arabia's latest requirement goes further - label information must be in Arabic, with English as a supplement, and pure English labels are not accepted.

1. The label must include the following elements:

-Fiber composition and percentage (sorted in descending order by weight)

-Origin "Made in China"

-Manufacturer/Importer Name and Address

-Nursing instructions (nursing symbols according to ISO 3758 standard)

-Size

-Saudi Arabia requires additional washing instructions and sizes in Arabic

2. The label must be durable and permanently attached to the clothing, usually fixed in the center of the back collar. Some categories in the United Arab Emirates accept bilingual Arabic and English, but Saudi Arabia requires Arabic as the standard and English as an auxiliary.

5、 Shenzhen to Arab brand bags, jerseys, sea freight brand authorization: Saudi Arabia is the strictest, followed by the United Arab Emirates

1. Saudi Arabia will launch the Tahaqaqaq trademark filing platform in 2026, officially shifting towards a highly standardized customs filing framework and directly strengthening trademark rights protection at ports of entry. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, specifying the brand name, authorization period, and scope of exported goods. English and Arabic bilingual versions should be provided, and after being stamped and confirmed by the brand, they must undergo review by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and signed by the Saudi Embassy in China to avoid being judged as parallel imports.

2. The UAE Customs also has the right to proactively detain suspected infringing goods based on their authority. The brand owner can file a trademark through the customs of emirates such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If suspected infringing goods are found during inspection, the customs will detain them and notify the filing contact person. The right holder must respond within 3 working days (Dubai, Sharjah, etc.) or 8 working days (Abu Dhabi) after detention, otherwise the goods will be released. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, which clearly includes the UAE/Gulf region. Unauthorized branded goods, even if they are original and genuine, may be directly detained by Dubai Customs as infringement.

6、 Requirements for sea freight packaging and wooden packaging of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Arab brands

1. Three layer protection: Brand bags and jerseys are of high value, and after drifting on the sea for more than 20 days and being transported inland in the Middle East, the packaging can withstand it.

|First layer: Inner packaging | football jersey cover with dust-proof bag folded up; Put the brand dust bag in the bag, with paper balls stuffed inside to support the shape of the bag. Don't damage the hang tag washing label|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | the box is filled with enough cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the goods cannot be shaken in the box|

|Third layer: outer box reinforcement | cardboard box, do not use soft packaging. Single box should not exceed 30kg, and single side should not exceed 150cm. The box should be sealed with a "worker" shape and the tape should be ≥ 5cm

2. Wooden packaging: Solid wood pallets and wooden boxes must comply with ISPM 15 standards, undergo heat treatment (HT) or methyl bromide fumigation (MB), and be marked with IPPC special markings. Providing only a fumigation certificate without an IPPC label also cannot clear customs, and there must be no residual bark, sawdust, or soil on the wooden surface. Saudi Arabia also prohibits the use of coniferous wood such as pine as wooden packaging. Artificial boards such as plywood, density board, and fiberboard can be fumigated free. It is recommended to prioritize using plywood fumigation free pallets or plastic pallets to save time and money.

3. Middle East specific precautions: Prohibit the use of content that violates Islamic religious culture, such as portraits, sensitive symbols, and other patterns or texts. Packaging materials should be suitable for the high temperature and dry climate in the Middle East, and have moisture resistance, high temperature resistance, and UV resistance properties. Warning signs, user manuals, safety information, etc. must be in Arabic (both Arabic and English are acceptable, but not only in English).

7、 One stop service process for shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Arab brands by sea

① Compliance consultation (providing product information, assisting SABER/ECAS certification planning, label Arabic compliance audit, brand authorization document preparation) → ② Bid lock cabin (all inclusive, including customs duties+VAT+final delivery) → ③ Guangzhou Shenzhen Dongguan nearby warehouse (free temporary storage, verifying certification documents, labels and packaging compliance) → ④ Export customs declaration+certification document pre-approval (synchronous operation) → ⑤ Shipping to Jebel Ali/Jeddah/Dammam Port → ⑥ Middle East double clearance tax payment (SABER/ECAS system docking, customs duties+VAT payment) → ⑦ Middle East delivery (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah)

The competition in the Middle East is not about who has the lowest price, but about who puts certification and authorization at the forefront. SABER/ECAS certification, Arabic language labeling, embassy endorsement for brand authorization, ISPM 15 wooden packaging processing - we will go through each item before loading the container, and do not allow the goods to be returned to Jebel Ali or Jeddah for replenishment. We follow the container loading process from Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, including sea freight, customs clearance, tax payment, and delivery.
