Why Luxembourg buyers work with us

Luxembourg is a small food market but a major holding and finance centre, so many enquiries here involve group structures as well as trade.

As your UAE-based trading partner, we source and vet suppliers, check quality and specification, and handle shipping and documents so you deal with one counterparty. Terms and pricing are agreed in writing before you commit.

Corporate tax and VAT are set at UAE federal level and applied the same way regardless of which EU country your business is based in.

Rice, tea, coffee and spices for Luxembourg

Choose a commodity to start a quote. We confirm current EU import rules for your product before you commit.

Shipping route
Sea freight from Gulf and South Asian ports to Antwerp-Bruges or Rotterdam, then onward road or rail delivery within Luxembourg, with road or rail onward transport.
EU import rules
Shipments must meet EU food safety rules, including limits on pesticide residues and contaminants, and pass official import controls at the EU port of entry.
Coffee and deforestation rules
Coffee falls under the EU deforestation regulation. Its application dates have been postponed more than once, so we confirm the current dates and due-diligence data before shipping.
Documents and customs
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and, where required, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate, prepared for your Luxembourg customs agent.

Tax across Luxembourg and the UAE

The UAE has double tax treaties with most EU member states, and the standard UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with 5% VAT. Luxembourg companies with a UAE subsidiary should also review their home-country rules on controlled foreign companies and permanent establishment.

We check the current treaty position and coordinate with your Luxembourg tax adviser before you structure.

Compliance comes first

Sanctions and screening: we screen counterparties, banks and vessels against UN, EU, UK and US sanctions lists, follow UAE anti-money-laundering requirements, and decline any transaction that would breach sanctions or export controls.

Questions from Luxembourg clients

Do you ship directly to Luxembourg, or only through the EU as a whole?

We ship directly to ports and inland destinations in Luxembourg, most commonly through Antwerp-Bruges or Rotterdam, and prepare the customs documents your local agent needs.

Is the UAE corporate tax rate different for Luxembourg companies?

No. UAE corporate tax and VAT are federal rates that apply the same way regardless of where your company's owners or customers are based.

Can you supply Luxembourg hotels, restaurants and roasters directly?

Yes. We supply wholesale volumes to distributors, hotels, restaurants, roasters and retailers, and can arrange samples before a commercial order.
