Export - MPCI Filing UAE update
Dear valued Customers,
in accordance with our earlier announcement (02.06.2026) we would like to remind you that as of June 30th, 2026, MPCI-Filing (Maritime Pre-Load Cargo Information Program) by the National Advance Information Center (NAIC) will be mandatory in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
On 25 June 2026, the NAIC announced that the filing requirement remains mandatory. However, do-not-load holds and penalties will be suspended until 30 September 2026. We therefore still require the complete data set, but for the time being, there will be no consequences for incorrect or incomplete data.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of our direct services to Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. These services allow you to ship with SACO without incurring MPCI costs or any additional workload related to the filing process, while also benefiting from shorter transit times and attractive freight rates.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
