Selecting the appropriate logistics line for general or sensitive goods to the Middle East involves a three-step process: "attribute matching—priority sorting—capability verification." First, accurately define the type of goods: general goods, such as textiles and furniture, which have no special requirements, can be handled by standardized logistics lines with fixed cargo space and routine customs clearance capabilities—no need to pay for unnecessary services. Sensitive goods, such as electronics and medical devices, require logistics lines explicitly labeled for the "corresponding type of sensitive goods," ensuring they possess specialized transportation qualifications like anti-static or temperature-controlled measures, as well as the ability to handle certifications such as SASO and MDA.
Next, filter based on priority needs: for time-sensitive general goods, opt for direct air freight or express sea freight; for sensitive goods, choose fixed schedules with priority customs clearance channels. When cost is the priority, compare base freight and additional fees for general goods, while for sensitive goods, comprehensively evaluate the total costs of certifications, transportation, and insurance. For safety-prioritized general goods, confirm cargo tracking and delay compensation; for sensitive goods, verify specialized insurance and transportation monitoring solutions.
Finally, verify the service provider's capabilities: for general goods, check business licenses and freight qualifications; for sensitive goods, additionally verify permits for hazardous goods transportation and similar case studies. Confirm whether the service provider has partnered customs brokers and warehouses in the destination country to ensure quick handling of exceptions. Understand their contingency mechanisms: for general goods, focus on solutions for lost or delayed items; for sensitive goods, prioritize responses to seizures or damages. This approach ensures the selection of a suitable logistics line.
