How does NAIC define import, transit, transshipment, and FROB shipments?

NAIC defines shipment movement types under the MPCI program as follows:

  • Import shipments
    Cargo with a final place of delivery inside the UAE.

  • Transit shipments
    Cargo that is discharged at a UAE seaport and then transported by land or air to a final destination outside the UAE.

  • Transshipment shipments
    Cargo that is unloaded at one or more UAE seaports and reloaded onto another vessel before reaching its final destination outside the UAE.

  • FROB shipments (Freight Remaining on Board)
    Cargo that arrives at a UAE seaport but remains on board the vessel without being discharged.
