Air route and arrival rhythm
The direct flight time from China to Dubai can be short, but the buyer should evaluate the complete path from nursery packing to saleable condition in the Dubai warehouse. Before quotation, confirm pre-shipment handling, airport delivery, flight booking, destination inspection, customs release and pickup timing.
