To better serve its importer and traveller clients, MDD Air Cargo Services is consolidating its operations in Dubai. This strategic base, at the heart of one of the world’s largest logistics and air hubs, allows us to offer shorter lead times, negotiated rates and local support for your flows between Asia, the Middle East and West Africa.

Our on-site teams handle shipment tracking, customs clearance and traveller assistance, in French and English. Whether you import goods from China via Dubai or prepare a business trip, you now have a dedicated contact in the Emirates. Contact us to learn more about our services to and from Dubai.

Importing from China offers excellent opportunities, provided you prepare your operation well. First tip: always check the reliability of your supplier and inspect a sample before any large order. Second tip: anticipate the documents (commercial invoice, packing list, certificates) to avoid customs blockages.

The choice of transport mode is also decisive: air for speed and small quantities, sea for large volumes. Finally, do not underestimate customs clearance costs on arrival. Thanks to our presence in China and our mastery of procedures, MDD supports you at every step, from sourcing to final delivery, for a smooth import with no unpleasant surprises.

The question comes up systematically: should you ship by air or by sea? It all depends on your priorities. Air freight is unbeatable on lead times — a few days versus several weeks — and ideal for sensitive or urgent goods. Its cost is however higher and its volume limited.

Sea freight, conversely, is the economical solution par excellence for large volumes, with longer lead times but almost unlimited capacity. For many clients, the best answer is a clever mix of the two, depending on the products and deadlines. Our advisers analyse your real need and steer you towards the most cost-effective solution.

Our growth comes with new talent needs. We are currently looking for profiles in freight and logistics, travel advice and sales, in Conakry as well as Dubai. At MDD, you work in an international environment, in contact with varied professions and concrete projects.
