Who actually moves cargo to Manama

Transit FTL 18–36 hours / LTL 1–2 days starts after a complete file — not when you first message.
What the quote includes — and what it does not
Included when written: UAE pickup or Ras Al Khor drop-off, packing if quoted, export file work, and the Manama handover type (door, warehouse or terminal). Not included unless DDP is on the paper: Saudi or GCC duty, VAT, SABER fees, crane, inside-room unpack, or a partner delay at King Fahd Causeway. If a partner is held, this desk stays the contact — we do not disappear behind a third party.
