Transit FTL 12–36 hours / LTL 1–3 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 Muscat 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 Hatta / Al Wajajah.
