Logistics ERP for UAE
The UAE is a global logistics hub centered on Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with Jebel Ali Port ranking among the world largest container ports and Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport handling massive cargo volumes. Logistics companies operate across mainland, free zone, and customs warehouse environments, each with different regulatory frameworks. Free zones like JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone), DAFZA (Dubai Airport Free Zone), and KIZAD (Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi) offer specific incentives including customs duty exemptions on goods stored and re-exported from the zone.
Logistics in UAE
Customs management in the UAE follows the GCC Common Customs Law, with a standard 5% customs duty on CIF value for most imported goods. The Dubai Trade portal and Abu Dhabi Customs provide electronic declaration filing. The UAE Authorized Economic Operator program offers simplified customs procedures for qualifying companies. Re-export operations, which form a significant part of UAE logistics activity, require specific documentation and may qualify for duty drawback when applicable. Transit cargo procedures connect to the GCC TIR and common transit arrangements.
The UAE logistics sector serves as a redistribution point for the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia markets. Multi-modal operations combining sea freight through Jebel Ali, air freight through DXB or DWC, and road transport through the GCC states require integrated documentation management. Temperature-controlled logistics is critical given the UAE climate, with mandatory cold chain compliance for food, pharmaceutical, and certain chemical shipments.
Yukti provides UAE logistics companies with customs management that handles Dubai Trade and Abu Dhabi Customs electronic declarations, free zone duty exemption tracking, re-export documentation, and AEO compliance. The warehouse module manages operations across free zone, mainland, and bonded facilities with duty suspension tracking and inventory visibility across locations. The freight forwarding module supports multi-modal shipments with bill of lading, airway bill, and road consignment note management. Cold chain monitoring integrates temperature sensors with shipment records for food and pharma logistics compliance. The fleet module handles vehicle registration renewals, Salik toll tracking in Dubai, and the RTA commercial vehicle requirements. Corporate tax calculations at 9% and VAT at 5% are integrated into financial reporting with free zone qualifying income provisions.
