Routes between the Middle East and Europe look simple on a map, but the cheapest route is not always the most reliable.
Plan the route
- Compare sea, air and road options by total transit time.
- Check the port, free time and inland delivery.
- Confirm who clears customs at each end.
- Match the Incoterm to the party arranging each leg.
- Leave time for documents, inspection and seasonal delays.
Book with a forwarder who can explain the full route, not only the freight rate. A clear plan protects the delivery date and the buyer relationship.
