Compliance

The boring page that decides whether your shipment moves.

We are a UAE free-zone entity shipping industrial equipment into jurisdictions with very different rules. Screening, certification and documentation are not paperwork we add at the end — they decide at the quotation stage whether an order is possible at all.

01

Screening

Every enquiry is screened before we quote: the counterparty, the end user, the end use and the destination, against the applicable restricted-party and dual-use lists.

Construction and material-handling equipment is overwhelmingly civil, but specific configurations — certain telematics, certain engine control units, certain lifting capacities — can fall under export control depending on destination. Where a configuration cannot be delivered compliantly we say so in the quotation, and where an alternative exists we offer it.

02

Certification by market

Eurasian Economic Union
EAC mark, CU-TR 010/2011 and 032/2013 as applicable
Gulf Cooperation Council
GCC conformity marking, G-mark where required
Saudi Arabia
SASO / SABER certificate of conformity
India
BIS registration where the product class requires it
Pre-shipment inspection
SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, per destination
Emissions
Stage / Tier level stated per unit and matched to fuel sulphur at destination
03

Documentation

  • Commercial invoice and packing list issued from the Dubai entity.
  • Certificate of origin, legalised where the destination requires it.
  • Marine cargo insurance certificate on CIF and above.
  • Conformity and certification documents for the destination market.
  • Pre-shipment inspection report with photographs, on every unit.
  • Manufacturer documentation: operation manual, parts book, declaration of conformity.
04

Anti-bribery and trade ethics

We do not pay facilitation payments, and we will not structure an invoice to understate value for customs. Both are common requests in this trade and both are declined without exception — not on principle alone, but because a buyer who accepts an understated invoice inherits the liability at their own border.

05

Data and confidentiality

Specifications, fleet composition and pricing shared with us are treated as confidential and are not disclosed to other buyers or to manufacturers beyond what an order requires. Enquiry data is retained only as long as commercial and tax record-keeping obligations require.
