A reliable freight forwarding service takes care of:

  • Booking cargo space with air/sea/road carriers

  • Documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, etc.)

  • Customs clearance and duties

  • Warehousing and consolidation

  • Insurance and risk mitigation

  • Tracking and delivery coordination

At ISS Relocations, we provide end-to-end freight forwarding solutions tailored for businesses in the UAE and the wider GCC.

3. Road Freight & GCC Transport

Perfect for local and cross-border movements within the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and other GCC countries. We offer both FTL (Full Truck Load) and LTL (Less-than-Truck Load) services with GPS-enabled tracking.

4. Multimodal Shipping

A strategic combination of sea, air, and road transport to balance cost and speed. Our logistics planners optimize the route based on your timeline, cargo nature, and customs requirements.
