Can you ship marble and heavy stone from Italy to UAE?+
Yes, we specialize in heavy cargo including Italian marble, granite, and stone products. We arrange appropriate containerization, crane handling, and port logistics for oversized or heavy loads.

Can you collect cargo from any city in Italy?+
Yes, we arrange inland pickup from factories, showrooms, or warehouses across Italy — including Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice, Genoa, and other cities — for delivery to Italian departure ports or airports.
Is air freight from Italy to UAE worth the extra cost?+
Air freight is ideal for high-value, time-sensitive cargo such as fashion collections, luxury goods, spare parts, or urgent commercial orders. The faster delivery often justifies the higher cost compared to sea freight for such cargo.
