Moving from Malaysia to the UAE? Florette Relocation runs a regular FCL service to Jebel Ali Port with door-to-door delivery in 15 days to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. We handle GCC customs documentation, Mahram (where applicable), and partner with established UAE clearing agents we've used for years. Quote in 24 hours.
A single project manager runs every move — survey to settled-in — with three workstreams running in parallel.
The UAE is one of the strongest expat corridors out of Malaysia — Western professionals heading to Dubai, Indian families relocating for work, Malaysian Muslim families moving for business or pilgrimage logistics. Florette has handled these moves consistently since 2016.

Pricing covers Malaysia packing, freight, insurance, GCC customs clearance, and door delivery. UAE import duties on personal effects are minimal for new residents — most household items are duty-exempt. Alcohol, pork products, and certain electronics need import licences (we'll advise during survey).
Direct delivery: Dubai (all areas including JBR, Marina, Downtown, Jumeirah, Mirdif, Arabian Ranches), Abu Dhabi (Yas Island, Saadiyat, Al Reem, Khalifa City), Sharjah, Ajman. We can deliver to Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain through our network with extended transit time.
Furniture (bedrooms, living, dining), white goods (washing machines, fridges), kitchen kit, electronics (TVs, AV equipment), books, soft furnishings, kids' items. Many UAE rentals come unfurnished, so a full container shipment makes financial sense vs replacing everything at Dubai retail prices.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah rental properties are commonly let unfurnished. Replacing a full household at Dubai retail — quality furniture, white goods, kitchen equipment, mattresses, electronics — easily costs AED 50,000-100,000 (RM 57,000-115,000). Shipping a 20ft FCL at RM 15,000-18,000 carries roughly 1-2 bedrooms' worth of quality furnishings you already own. For established families with furniture they want to keep, shipping almost always saves money versus buying new. For a single professional moving alone for the first time, it may make more sense to ship personal items only and furnish locally. We help you think through this at survey.
Survey at your Malaysia address: Monday-Tuesday. Written quote: within 24 hours. Packing: 2-4 days before vessel departure. Vessel from Port Klang: weekly sailings to Jebel Ali. Sea freight: 15 days. Port clearance and inland delivery in UAE: 1-2 days. Total door-to-door: approximately 20-22 days from survey sign-off to your Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah address. UAE residence visa must be active by the time goods arrive — we confirm visa status at booking and flag if the timeline is tight against your visa activation date.
Alcohol restriction: UAE law restricts personal import of alcohol — licensed residents can purchase locally, but importing quantities beyond personal allowance requires a licence and must be declared. Wine collections and spirits should be discussed at survey and separated from the main shipment if in doubt. Electronics: most consumer electronics are compatible (UAE is 220V/50Hz, same as Malaysia). Gaming consoles, laptops, and TVs ship without issues. Server and networking equipment sometimes requires import documentation from the IT supplier — flag at survey if applicable. All shipments are covered by All Risk transit insurance via Berjaya Insurance Berhad — coverage based on declared value.
The questions clients ask us most often before booking.
FCL door-to-door to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah via Jebel Ali Port: 15 days. Excess baggage via groupage adds 5–10 days for consolidation.
Most personal effects are duty-exempt for new UAE residents. Alcohol, pork products, and certain electronics need licences and may attract duty. We advise during the survey.
Passport with UAE residence visa, Emirates ID (where applicable), detailed packing list, and Bill of Lading. We prepare everything.
Direct service to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman. RAK, Fujairah, and UAQ available with extended transit.
Limited — UAE rules restrict alcohol imports and require licences. We can advise but recommend separating valuable wine collections from your main shipment.
Yes. All Risk transit cover via Berjaya Insurance Berhad covers loss or damage during packing, transit, and delivery. Coverage based on declared value.
Yes — UAE customs requires an active residence visa (or Emirates ID) to clear personal effects at Jebel Ali. Goods can't clear customs on a tourist or visit visa. We confirm visa status at booking and flag if your visa activation timeline is tight against your vessel arrival date.
Yes — washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers are routinely shipped. UAE electrical supply is 220-240V at 50Hz (same as Malaysia) so most Malaysian appliances work without adaptation. Only US-spec 110V appliances need a converter.
Free survey, written 24-hour quote, single project manager — insurance bundled by default.
