Who we are

SETRIX Logistics is a Dubai-based shipping agent specialising in customs clearance for inbound and outbound shipments across the United Arab Emirates. Registered as a free zone company, we work with importers, exporters and freight partners who need clearance handled accurately the first time.

What you can hold us to

We are new. Our commitments are not vague.

One desk, both directions

Import and export clearance sit with the same team, so nothing is handed between brokers mid-shipment.

Missing paperwork flagged first

We review your documents before filing and tell you what is missing straight away, not after a rejection.

Itemised, never bundled

Duties, port charges and our own fee arrive as separate lines. Nothing is estimated into a single figure.

Clearance and delivery together

Our own transport takes the cargo on at release, so port to door stays one handover instead of three.

How a shipment moves

Four steps, and you know who holds it at every one

01

Brief & documents

You send the shipment details and paperwork — bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list. We tell you immediately what is missing.

02

Declaration & clearance

We file the declaration with Dubai Customs or the relevant free zone authority and carry the shipment through inspection.

03

Duties & release

Duties and fees come back to you itemised, with nothing bundled or estimated. Cargo is released against them.

04

Transport & delivery

Our trucks and trailers move the cargo from port to warehouse or final destination anywhere in the UAE.
