Trade Facilitation & Cross-Border Commerce Solutions
We provide a complete suite of trade facilitation services — from customs clearance, import/export documentation and tariff classification to letters of credit, trade finance, free zone structuring, origin certification, and sanctions compliance — enabling your business to move goods across borders faster, more cost-effectively, and with zero regulatory risk.
How We Accelerate Your Cross-Border Trade
From customs clearance and trade documentation to tariff optimisation, letter of credit management, free zone structuring, and supply chain coordination — OSM GROUP's trade facilitation team delivers end-to-end managed trade programmes so your commercial team can focus on selling, not logistics.
Customs Clearance & Brokerage
We manage the complete import and export customs clearance process — from HS code classification, duty calculation, and customs declaration filing through physical inspection coordination, duty payment, and cargo release — liaising directly with UAE Customs, Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) in KSA, and port authorities across GCC to ensure your shipments clear quickly, compliantly, and at the lowest legitimate duty cost.
- HS classification & customs declaration filing
- Duty optimisation & drawback recovery
- Port authority liaison & cargo release
Trade Documentation & Certification
We prepare, verify, and submit the full suite of trade documentation required for cross-border shipments — including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, airway bills, certificates of origin (preferential and non-preferential), phytosanitary certificates, conformity certificates, and country-specific import permits — ensuring every document set meets the precise requirements of the destination authority, reducing rejection rates and shipment delays to near zero.
- Certificate of origin — Chamber & FASAH
- Import permits, conformity & health certificates
- Document verification & pre-shipment review
Trade Finance & Letter of Credit Management
We structure and manage the trade finance instruments your transactions require — including documentary letters of credit (LC), standby LCs, bank guarantees, documentary collections, and supply chain finance arrangements — coordinating with issuing and confirming banks to ensure compliant document presentation, timely LC utilisation, and optimised payment terms that protect your cash flow while giving overseas counterparties the security they need to transact with confidence.
- LC drafting, issuance & document presentation
- Bank guarantee structuring & advisory
- Supply chain finance & payment term optimisation
Free Zone & Bonded Warehouse Structuring
We design and implement free zone and bonded warehouse structures that optimise your import duty exposure, VAT position, and re-export operations — identifying the most advantageous UAE free zone for your commodity, product, and trading flows, managing entity establishment, customs suspension arrangements, and ongoing compliance — enabling you to use the UAE as a regional hub without paying unnecessary duties on goods that never enter local consumption.
- Free zone selection & entity establishment
- Bonded warehouse setup & customs suspension
- Re-export routing & duty optimisation
Regulatory Compliance & Sanctions Screening
We embed export controls, sanctions screening, and dual-use goods compliance into your trade operations — screening counterparties, shipment destinations, and commodity classifications against UAE, EU, US, and UN sanctions lists, advising on restricted goods licences, end-user certificate requirements, and re-export controls — ensuring every transaction your organisation executes is fully compliant with applicable trade regulations before goods move, not after a customs seizure or regulatory investigation.
- Counterparty & destination sanctions screening
- Dual-use & restricted goods licensing
- Export control programme design & audit

We manage multimodal freight forwarding — sea, air, road, and rail — coordinating carriers, freight agents, port handling, customs brokers, and last-mile delivery across your supply chain to provide a single managed solution from factory gate to final destination, with real-time shipment tracking, proactive delay management, and full cargo insurance coverage that protects your goods and gives your operations team complete visibility over every shipment in transit.
