The MOQ problem

UAE pet retailers know exactly which British brands their customers ask for. What stops them stocking those brands is the minimum order a UK maker whose MOQ suits a domestic wholesaler is asking a Dubai retailer to commit to a year of stock on an unproven line.

Consolidation solves it. We buy across several customers and several categories, meet the manufacturer's minimum ourselves, and ship you the quantity you can actually sell.

Testing a range properly

A sensible first order is a mixed pallet across three or four brands: coats and collars from one, grooming from another, enrichment from a third. Six weeks of sell-through data tells you more than any forecast.

Retail-ready packaging and POS units ship with the same order, so the range hits the shelf looking like a range rather than loose stock.

Labelling and clearance

Grooming products, shampoos and anything ingestible need ingredient labelling that satisfies UAE requirements. We handle that with the manufacturer before the goods are packed.

Duty is 5% of CIF with 5% VAT at clearance on most pet accessory lines. Sea freight into Jebel Ali runs 18–24 days port to port with weekly LCL sailings.

Common questions

How can a UAE retailer meet a UK pet brand's minimum order?

Through consolidation. We buy across several customers and categories, meet the manufacturer's minimum ourselves, and ship you the quantity you can actually sell — a sensible first order is a mixed pallet across three or four brands.

What duty and VAT apply to pet products imported into the UAE?

Duty is 5% of CIF value with 5% VAT at clearance on most pet accessory lines. Grooming products and anything ingestible also need ingredient labelling that satisfies UAE requirements, which we handle before the goods are packed.

How long does shipping pet products from the UK to the UAE take?

Sea freight into Jebel Ali runs 18–24 days port to port, with weekly LCL sailings so even a half-pallet moves without waiting for a full container.
