Land & Air Freight Shipping from UAE to Lebanon | B2B & B2C Solutions
At Alpha Square Shipping, we deliver flexible, multi-modal freight services for shipping cargo from the United Arab Emirates to Lebanon. Designed to support commercial business-to-business (B2B) supply chains as well as individual business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments, our solutions include integrated land transport with customs clearance, traditional airport-to-airport air cargo, and express door-to-door courier options.
We customize every logistics journey based on your cargo classification, actual and volumetric weight, transit urgency, and destination specifications inside Lebanon.
Land freight represents a practical and cost-effective option for medium-to-large commercial shipments, heavy cargo, household items, and personal luggage when transit time is secondary to cost efficiency.
Commercial B2B Overland Transport
We provide businesses with structured land freight for allowable commercial imports into Lebanon. Depending on cargo specifications and volume, Alpha Square Shipping coordinates cargo collection, border crossing documentation, customs clearances, and final-mile delivery.
Personal B2C Cargo & Luggage
For individual customers, we manage the transport of personal belongings, personal boxes, apparel, and allowable household effects. By handling pickup in the UAE through to customs processing and delivery in Lebanon, we save clients the burden of managing multiple service providers.
When faster delivery is required, Alpha Square Shipping offers two primary air freight pathways to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY):
Option A: Airport-to-Airport Air Freight
We arrange direct air freight from UAE international airports to Beirut via scheduled cargo carriers.
Important Service Scope: Under Airport-to-Airport terms, our responsibility ends once the cargo arrives at Beirut airport. Customs clearance and local pickup in Lebanon remain the responsibility of the importer or their appointed customs broker, unless additional services are arranged in advance. This option is ideal for commercial importers who maintain their own clearance arrangements in Lebanon.
Option B: Express Door-to-Door Air Courier
For time-sensitive documents, urgent parcels, commercial samples, and small-to-medium packages, we organize express courier services in partnership with global carriers such as DHL, UPS, and SMSA. This option includes pickup in the UAE and end-to-end delivery to the recipient’s address in Lebanon.
Understanding Customs Clearances in Express Door-to-Door Shipping
It is crucial to understand that “Door-to-Door” service does not imply exemption from customs duties or taxes. All shipments entering Lebanon remain subject to local customs inspections, regulatory approvals, and duty assessments. Depending on package contents and valuation, Lebanese Customs may request additional importer documentation, and any applicable duties, taxes, or local processing fees remain payable according to the agreed shipping terms and courier guidelines.
Service Selection Matrix: Which Shipping Option Fits Your Cargo?
Service Type | Best Used For | Transit Priority | Delivery Scope | Customs Handling |
Land Freight | Large B2B cargo & personal baggage | Economical | Door-to-Door / Door-to-Address | Integrated Clearance |

Required Documentation for Shipping to Lebanon
Documentation guidelines vary based on cargo nature and commercial classification. Essential requirements typically include:
- Commercial Shipments: Itemized Commercial Invoice, Packing List (showing weights and piece counts), Bill of Lading / Air Waybill, Certificate of Origin, and specialized import permits when required for restricted items.
- Personal Shipments: Sender/Recipient identification copies, detailed packing list, and declared value statement.
We strongly advise sending shipment details to our team prior to dispatch to verify import compliance and document requirements.
