01

What UAE villa owners and developers ask us for

China supplies about half of the UAE's furniture imports (49.7% in 2024). The question is no longer whether to buy from China, but how to keep a whole villa consistent, on time and fairly priced.

  1. One style for the whole villaKitchen, wardrobes, wall panelling, majlis seating and lighting from different factories held to one palette and one material system.
  2. Sizes and details that meet on siteEvery piece is checked against your drawings before production, so joinery, stone and doors fit when the container is opened.
  3. Developer-grade consistencyFor furnished apartments and small developments: a sample unit first, then batch production with colour and finish checks against the approved sample.
  4. A landed cost you can checkFactory price, service fee, freight, 5% duty and 5% VAT shown line by line — no vague savings claims.

Questions

Do you work with Dubai developers?

Yes — small and mid-size developments and furnished apartments. We start with a sample unit, then run batch production checked against the approved sample.

What does it cost to import furniture from China to the UAE?

On top of goods, service and freight: 5% customs duty and 5% VAT on the customs value. DDP (duties paid, delivered to your door) can be arranged. The landed-cost table above shows the full formula.

Who installs in Dubai?

Your local fit-out contractor or an installer we coordinate with per project. We supply installation drawings, labelled packing and remote support. Local partners are confirmed project by project.

Do I need a visa to visit Foshan?

The UAE and China have a mutual visa exemption for ordinary passport holders. Check the latest official notice before booking.
