Frequently asked questions

What does MIDTRANS ship, and what does it not accept?

MIDTRANS moves commercial and industrial cargo: trade goods, machinery, spare parts, raw materials, equipment and project consignments travelling under commercial documents. Two private services are the exception: cars shipped by road to Syria, and household furniture moved to Syria as a full container or full truck from the UAE, the Gulf, Europe or Turkey. MIDTRANS does not handle loose personal effects, baggage, small parcels, courier or express consumer shipments. Every commercial consignment we accept moves on a commercial invoice and packing list issued by a company shipper to a company consignee.

Which markets does MIDTRANS cover?

MIDTRANS covers Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt as core markets, with company offices and customs staff in Syria and the United Arab Emirates, and licensed customs brokers and partners in Egypt. MIDTRANS also moves commercial cargo from and to China, Turkey, Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council states, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. The corridors between these markets, including the United Arab Emirates to Egypt and the United Arab Emirates to Syria, run as regular MIDTRANS trade lanes.

Does MIDTRANS clear customs itself?

MIDTRANS clears customs itself in Syria and the United Arab Emirates. The same MIDTRANS team that books the freight prepares and files the customs declaration, presents the document set to the authority, follows inspection and settles duties and charges for the account of the importer. Customs clearance is handled in-house in these two markets rather than passed to an outside party. In Egypt, clearance is carried out by licensed Egyptian customs brokers that MIDTRANS appoints and supervises, and the same team follows the file.

Which Syrian ports does MIDTRANS use?

MIDTRANS moves sea cargo into Syria through the ports of Latakia and Tartous on the Mediterranean coast, and delivers inland to Damascus and other Syrian cities. Latakia and Tartous both take containerised and breakbulk cargo. The MIDTRANS office in Damascus files the import declaration, follows inspection and release at the port and arranges the truck movement to the final delivery address.

How does cargo move from the United Arab Emirates to Egypt and to Syria?

Cargo leaving the United Arab Emirates for Egypt moves by sea from Jebel Ali to Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said or Ain Sokhna, or by air into Cairo. Cargo leaving the United Arab Emirates for Syria moves by sea to Latakia or Tartous, or overland by truck through the Gulf and Jordan. MIDTRANS books the transport leg and clears customs at both ends of the corridor.

Does MIDTRANS handle dangerous goods, project cargo and heavy lift?

MIDTRANS handles dangerous goods, project cargo and heavy or out-of-gauge consignments. Dangerous goods move under the applicable IMDG or IATA classification with the safety data sheet and the shipper declaration prepared before booking. Project and heavy cargo move on flat rack, open top or breakbulk equipment, with lifting arrangements, route survey and permits organised as part of the shipment plan.

Does MIDTRANS store and consolidate cargo in Jebel Ali?

MIDTRANS stores and consolidates commercial cargo in the Jebel Ali area, receiving goods from several suppliers, checking marks and quantities against the packing lists and loading them into one container for a single destination. Consolidation and cross stuffing let a buyer combine purchases from different United Arab Emirates suppliers into one sea or land movement to Syria or Egypt under one set of documents.

What information is needed to quote a shipment?

A freight quotation needs the origin and destination addresses, the freight mode, the commodity description, the gross weight, the volume or the dimensions of each package, the package count and packaging type, the container type for full container loads, the cargo readiness date and the Incoterm. Dangerous goods also need the UN classification. MIDTRANS prices the transport leg and the customs leg from that information.
