🇴🇲 When you have a customer from Oman and you want to ship to him, you can give him two suggestions.
Firstly, you can send the shipment to one of Oman's ports like Sohar, Salalah, etc., which may take longer.
However, if the customer is in a hurry, you can send the shipment to Jebel Ali and then transport it through land transportation via the border at Al Wajaja using heavy machines known as "trucks".
❇️ This method does not differ much in cost compared to directly shipping to Oman, but it is faster in terms of time.
🔊 If you intend to, as a manufacturer, export products such as security systems, electronic equipment, medical devices, and sound broadcasting equipment to countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) including Slovakia, Belgium, Croatia, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Austria, and sell them in this market, you will definitely need the European CE standard.
🗞 This standard confirms that the product meets European standards in terms of health, safety, and environmental protection.
🇨🇳 Shanghai Port is one of the world's largest ports and home to the largest intelligent container terminal in the world, which started operating in December 2017.
Covering an area of 2.23 million square meters with a coastline of 2350 meters, it has the capacity to move 4 million containers per year.
⛴ What makes this port interesting is that thanks to technology and a fully automated management and control system, there are hardly any workers visible.

🚚 Customs tariffs in European countries are calculated using one of three methods:
1. Value tariffs, which apply a specific percentage for each category of goods based on the total value of the shipment.
2. Specific tariffs, which impose a set amount per specific weight for certain products.
3. Combined tariffs, which encompass both of the above tariffs.
For example, in the jam category, a 24% value rate and a specific tariff of 100 euros for every 23 kilograms of product are applied.
🚢 Transport companies rent their containers to companies and cargo owners within a specified timeframe known as free time.
During this period, the container will be at the disposal of the cargo owner, and in case of delay or early return of the container, the cargo owner will be required to pay a penalty.
🚫 If the cargo owner unloads the container before the specified deadline, they must pay a dispatch penalty, if the specified days have passed and the container has not yet left the terminal, the cargo owner will be subject to paying a demurrage penalty and if the specified timeframe has passed and the container has left the terminal, the cargo owner must pay a detention penalty.
