What documents are needed to ship goods from India to United Arab Emirates?

Short answer

To ship goods from India to United Arab Emirates, an exporter needs an Importer-Exporter Code, a shipping bill filed on ICEGATE, a commercial invoice, a packing list and a transport document.

India has India-UAE CEPA in force with United Arab Emirates, so a preferential certificate of origin may apply. SSL moves your cargo by road to and from India's ports. Ask us about the international leg. Send the commodity and route to our desk and it will list what your shipment needs.
