🍟 IQF Frozen French Fries for the Dubai Market

When it comes to frozen fries, IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) is the gold standard. Our product line of IQF frozen potato fries is crafted to meet the diverse needs of Dubai’s food industry, from quick-service restaurants (QSRs) to upscale hotels. Each fry is rapidly frozen at peak freshness, locking in flavor and ensuring a satisfying crunch with every bite. IQF technology also prevents fries from clumping, so you can easily pour and fry what you need with no waste.

Our Frozen French Fries Range (Cuts & Packaging) for UAE Importers:

Key Product Features: All our fries are par-fried in vegetable oil and then IQF frozen to ensure you get a consistent product ready to finish-cook. They have a golden color and come lightly salted (or unsalted, upon request). We maintain optimal length distribution (minimal small bits) to maximize yield per bag – a critical factor for cost-conscious buyers. Plus, if you have specific requirements (e.g., a particular cut or coating batter for delivery fries), we offer R&D support to develop custom specifications.

✅ Samples Available: Not sure which cut suits your needs? We provide free sample packs to serious importers in Dubai so you can test our fries in your kitchen before committing to bulk orders. We’re confident you’ll be impressed by the quality and taste.

✅ Private Label Ready: Looking to launch your own brand of frozen french fries in Dubai? We’ve got you covered. All the above cuts can be packed under your brand name with custom bag designs. (See Private Label Services below for details.)

🚢 Streamlined Logistics – From Egypt’s Factory to Dubai’s Doorstep

One of our core strengths is managing the logistics of frozen food export seamlessly. Shipping frozen french fries from Egypt to Dubai is a journey we’ve optimized over the years to be fast, safe, and cost-effective. Here’s how we do it:

📦 Temperature-Controlled Shipping

We exclusively use refrigerated (reefer) containers set to -18°C (or lower) for all French fries shipments. From the moment the fries leave our freezing line, the cold chain is unbroken:

• Pre-chilling & Loading: Containers are pre-chilled and loaded at our facility under strict supervision. We allow for proper airflow between pallets and place temperature data loggers in the container.
• Ocean Transit: The container is sealed and shipped typically from Port of Alexandria or Port of Damietta in Egypt. Transit time to Jebel Ali Port (Dubai) is usually 10–14 days by sea. During this time, we monitor the shipment via the shipping line’s updates and can share status with you.
• Arrival & Transport in UAE: Upon arrival, our agents ensure prompt clearing and transfer. Reefer trucks then deliver the container to your specified warehouse or cold store in Dubai or any Emirate you require, still at the required temperature.

With this process, product integrity is maintained – meaning the fries you receive will cook and taste as fresh as the day they were produced. No freezer burn, no thaw/refreeze damage, no surprises.

🛃 Customs Clearance & Import Support

Clearing UAE customs is straightforward with Eurovan Trading handling the paperwork. We prepare a complete set of export documents for each shipment, including:

• Commercial Invoice & Packing List – Clearly detailing the goods (French fries, cut size, packaging), quantities, weights, and values.
• Certificate of Origin – Issued by Egyptian authorities, certifying that the frozen fries are of Egyptian origin. (Benefit: Under the GAFTA agreement, Egyptian-origin products qualify for 0% import duty in the UAE, compared to the standard 5% duty. We make sure you can take advantage of this duty-free access by providing the proper CO.)
• Health Certificate – Proof that the product is fit for human consumption, issued by Egypt’s Ministry of Health or Agriculture.
• Halal Certificate – Since French fries often use oil and flavorings, UAE requires Halal compliance. We include a recognized Halal certification confirming our fries are produced in accordance with Islamic dietary laws (mandatory for GCC import).
• Bill of Lading (B/L) – We’ll list you (or your agent) as the consignee so you have full control on arrival. We typically use Jebel Ali Port as the entry point for Dubai.

Our team (and dedicated export manager) works closely with your clearing agent or freight forwarder in Dubai to ensure all paperwork is in order prior to arrival. Consistency in product descriptions, HS codes (frozen prepared potatoes usually fall under HS code 2004.10), and declared weights helps avoid any delays or queries at customs. We double-check everything so your shipment gets green channel clearance whenever possible.

Import Duty Note: The general import duty on frozen potato products in the UAE is 5%. However, thanks to Egypt’s trade agreements, our shipments usually arrive duty-free with the proper Certificate of Origin (saving you money). We handle this process end-to-end.

⏱️ Flexible Incoterms (FOB, CIF, DDP)

We offer multiple shipping arrangements to suit your preferences and experience:

• FOB Alexandria: If you have your own shipping line contracts or prefer to control the freight, we can supply on FOB basis. We’ll deliver the container to Alexandria port and you handle freight onwards.
• CIF Jebel Ali: Most of our Dubai clients choose CIF or CNF terms, where we cover the ocean freight (and insurance in case of CIF). This is hassle-free – we do the booking and let you know when to expect the ship, and you just clear and receive.
• DDP (Door-to-Door): Want a completely hands-off experience? We can even do DDP to your warehouse, handling freight, insurance, customs clearance, duty (if any), and inland trucking in the UAE. You just receive the goods at your door. (Terms and feasibility of DDP depend on shipment volume and advance arrangements.)

Reefer Capacity: A standard 40-foot high-cube reefer container can carry about 25 metric tons of frozen fries. In practical terms, that’s roughly 2,400 cartons (if packed as 10 kg net per carton). We optimize the loading plan (palletized or floor-stacked as needed) to maximize quantity without compromising air circulation. If you’re planning volumes, know that one container ≈ 50,000 lbs of fries ready to fuel your customers’ appetites!

🤝 Benefits for Dubai Importers – What You Gain with Eurovan

Choosing Eurovan Trading as your frozen fries supplier is a smart business move. Here are the concrete benefits that our Dubai partners enjoy:

• Competitive Wholesale Pricing: Thanks to efficient sourcing and production, we offer wholesale frozen french fries at prices that keep you competitive in the UAE market.

(We don’t compromise on quality to cut price; we optimize everything else.)
• Consistent Year-Round Supply: No more worrying about seasonal shortages or inconsistent suppliers. We maintain year-round inventory and multiple production cycles, ensuring that even during peak demand (e.g., holiday seasons or big events in Dubai) your supply is secure.
• Wide Product Portfolio: While French fries are a cornerstone, we can also supply complementary products (frozen vegetables, other potato specialties, condiments like ketchup, etc.). Leverage us as a one-stop supplier for multiple product lines – less hassle managing different vendors.
• Custom Packaging & Private Labels: Grow your brand with our support. Many distributors and retailers in Dubai use our fries for their private label products. We handle everything from package design to printing and compliance labeling. You get a product that’s retail-ready or foodservice-branded as your own. This boosts your brand value and customer loyalty.
• Local Market Expertise: Our team stays updated on UAE food import regulations and market trends. Whether it’s a new labeling requirement from Dubai Municipality or a shift in consumer preferences (e.g., demand for lower-oil fries), we proactively adjust and advise you. Think of us as not just suppliers but consultants invested in your success.
• Fast Turnaround & Reliable Delivery: Time is money, especially in food service. Our efficient operations ensure quick order processing. Once you confirm an order, we typically can produce and ship within a few weeks. Transit to Dubai is just around 10 days by sea. In urgent cases, we can explore air-freight or split shipments. The bottom line: you get your fries when you need them, to keep your customers happy.
• Dedicated Distributor Support: Are you a distributor in Dubai looking to expand your product range? We provide special distributor pricing, marketing materials (like product specs, images, certificates), and even samples you can use in sales demos. Our Become a Distributor program is open for committed partners – join us here. We succeed when you succeed, so we go the extra mile to support your sales growth.

By partnering with Eurovan, you essentially gain a reliable ally in your supply chain – one that smooths out the bumps and lets you focus on growing your market, not worrying about sourcing or imports.

🏷️ Private Label Frozen French Fries Import to Dubai

Many Dubai supermarkets, wholesalers, and restaurant chains prefer to sell fries under their own brand. Eurovan Trading excels as a private label frozen french fries manufacturer for clients across the UAE. We understand that your brand’s reputation hinges on the quality of the product we deliver – so we treat private label projects with utmost care and confidentiality.

🔒 End-to-End Private Label Services Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai

When you choose our private label service, we assist with:

• Custom Packaging Design: Our design team can help create branded bags and cartons featuring your logo, brand colors, and product info in both English and Arabic (UAE regulation requires bilingual labeling). Whether it’s a 1kg retail pack or a plain foodservice box with your company name – we’ll make it look professional.
• Flexible Pack Sizes: You decide what packaging format suits your customers. Common choices in Dubai are 2.5kg packs for foodservice and 900g–1kg packs for retail. We can pack in a variety of configurations (see options in the product table above). Mixed container (different SKU sizes in one shipment) is also possible to test what sells best.
• Product Specification Tweaks: Do you want a slightly thicker cut, or a special batter coating on the fries for your line? We can adjust specifications within feasible range to create differentiation for your brand. For example, a hypermarket might want an extra-long fries product labeled “Premium Fries” – we can source specific potato varieties and adjust processing to achieve that.
• Quality Assurance Under Your Brand: Rest easy – even though it’s your brand on the pack, the quality is backed by Eurovan. We supply all the necessary certificates (Halal, ISO, etc.) to you, and can even assist in audits if your team wants to visit our production. We maintain batch traceability so every private label product can be traced back in case of any issue.
• Launch & Ongoing Support: We don’t just hand over the product. For new private label launches, we often provide promotional support – e.g., send a few extra sample cartons for your internal training or initial marketing. Our team will work with you through the product’s lifecycle (e.g., if you decide to tweak the packaging or recipe in future).

📈 Growing Demand for Frozen French Fries in Dubai

Dubai is one of the fastest-growing hubs for food service in the Middle East, and frozen French fries are at the heart of this growth. Consider why demand is surging:

• Booming QSR Sector: International fast-food chains and local quick-service restaurants are expanding rapidly across the UAE. Burgers, fried chicken, and shawarma outlets all need a steady supply of fries. French fries are often the top-selling side dish in these businesses.
• Rising Hotels & Tourism: Dubai’s status as a global tourist destination means more hotels, theme parks, and entertainment venues – each with multiple kitchens and high-volume catering needs. From poolside cafes to room service menus, fries are a staple due to their broad appeal.
• Modern Retail Expansion: The UAE’s supermarket and hypermarket chains (e.g., Carrefour, Lulu, Spinneys) have large frozen food sections. Consumers are buying more frozen ready-to-cook items for convenience. Ready-to-fry frozen potato products like fries and wedges have become household essentials, especially with more people recreating restaurant-style food at home.
• Shifting Consumer Lifestyles: A young, diverse population with busy schedules favors convenient foods. Frozen French fries offer the ultimate convenience – a quick snack or side that’s easy to prepare. Moreover, the influence of Western food culture means fries are as popular in a Dubai mall food court as they are in an American diner.

By 2030, industry analysts project the Middle East’s frozen potato product consumption will double from current levels. Dubai, being a trendsetter in the region, is leading this charge. For businesses, this means opportunity – if you have a reliable supplier to keep you stocked. Eurovan Trading positions you to ride this wave, ensuring you never face stockouts even as demand spikes.

Market Tip: Premiumization is a trend to watch. We see rising interest in thicker “steak” fries at gourmet burger spots, and seasoned or coated fries for delivery-focused outlets (to keep fries crispy longer). Keep an eye on these niches – and know that we can supply these specialized products to keep you ahead of consumer trends.

🥇 Quality Assurance & Certifications (Our Promise of Excellence Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai)

When importing food into the UAE, quality standards and compliance are paramount. Eurovan Trading spares no effort in ensuring that our frozen French fries meet and exceed all international and UAE-specific quality requirements. Here’s how we safeguard quality at every step:

• HACCP & ISO 22000 Certified: Our production facilities operate under a rigorous HACCP plan (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points), which systematically prevents contamination risks. We are also ISO 22000 certified, meaning our food safety management system is internationally recognized. From raw potato inspection to final metal detection, every stage is monitored.
• Halal Certification: All our frozen fries are 100% Halal-certified. We understand the UAE’s regulatory requirement that any food product (especially one involving oils or processing aids) must comply with Halal standards. We obtain certification from approved bodies, and the certificate specifically covers our fries and the facility. This certificate is included in every shipment’s documents, so your customs clearance is smooth.
• Strict Supplier Audits: Quality starts with the raw potatoes. We source potatoes from vetted farms that grow varieties ideal for French fries (high starch, low sugar content for that perfect crisp). Our agronomists and quality team audit these farms and storage sites. We also test incoming potatoes for size and quality before accepting batches.
• Batch Testing & Traceability: Each production batch of fries is assigned a lot code printed on the packaging. We retain samples from each batch for lab testing – checking attributes like moisture content, frying color, oil content, and microbial load. If there’s ever an issue (e.g., a customer complaint about a specific batch), we can trace it and provide full investigative results. Thankfully, issues are rare due to our preventive controls.
• Third-Party Inspections: For added peace of mind, we welcome third-party inspectors (like SGS or Intertek) to verify shipments. In fact, many of our customers request a pre-shipment inspection – we facilitate it without hesitation. Our track record of passing inspections with flying colors has built confidence among importers worldwide.
• Compliant Labeling & Packaging: Every carton and inner bag is labeled according to UAE regulations: Product name (e.g., “Frozen Pre-fried Potato Chips”), production & expiry dates, origin (Product of Egypt), storage instructions (“Keep Frozen at -18°C”), and Halal mark. Bilingual labeling (English/Arabic) ensures no issues with municipality checks. We handle all these details so you don’t have to.

By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that when you import through Eurovan, you face zero quality issues or compliance hiccups. Your end customers – be it a chef at a restaurant or a consumer buying from a store – get a product that is safe, delicious, and exactly as advertised. It’s an assurance that protects your brand’s reputation as well.

🚚 From Factory Floor to Fryer: Our Supply Chain Integrity

In the Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai business, maintaining the cold chain and overall supply chain reliability is non-negotiable. We pride ourselves on an export process that delivers fries from our factory floor in Egypt to your fryer in Dubai without breaking a sweat (or a freeze). Let’s peek into the journey of our fries:

• 🏭 Production Phase: Fresh potatoes are sorted, peeled, cut, par-fried in clean vegetable oil, and then sent through blast freezers that bring the core temperature down to -18°C in minutes. This rapid freeze locks in the just-cooked taste and texture. Fries are then packed into polybags and those bags into sturdy 5-ply cartons. Every carton is date-coded and palletized immediately.
• ❄️ Cold Storage: The packed fries are kept in our on-site cold storage at -20°C until dispatch. We schedule container stuffing so that the time from cold store to container pre-chilling is minimal. During stuffing, the reefer container is parked right at our cold store dock; pallets are loaded swiftly to avoid temperature gain.
• 🚚 Transport & Shipping: Our logistics team plans the optimal shipping route and timing. We often choose routes with the shortest transit times to Dubai to preserve maximum remaining shelf life. We avoid transshipments when possible. Each container’s temperature is set and sealed; we receive a temperature log at the end which we can share upon request – proof that the cold chain stayed intact throughout.
• 📋 Predictable Milestones: We provide you with a shipment schedule outlining key milestones – e.g., “ETD (Estimated Departure) from Alexandria: Aug 1”, “ETA Jebel Ali: Aug 10”, “Est. Delivery to warehouse: Aug 13”. These milestones allow you to plan your inventory and promotions. Because we stick to our timelines, you can even coordinate things like menu launches or sales events knowing the stock will be in hand.
• 🔄 Contingency Planning: Despite best plans, sometimes schedules shift (weather, port delays, etc.). We keep buffer stocks and alternate shipping options ready. For instance, if a vessel is delayed, we might re-route to another earlier vessel or, if critical, send a partial by airfreight to cover you. Our ability to adapt quickly means your risk of running out of fries is near-zero.

Supply Chain Excellence is what turns a good supplier into a great partner. Eurovan Trading’s meticulous approach ensures that from factory floor to your fryer, the product remains perfect. By the time you fry those potatoes in Dubai, they’ll come out hot, crispy, and delicious – as if they were made next door, not a continent away.

💰 Frozen French Fries Wholesale Pricing & Cost Factors in UAE

Pricing is often the first question importers have – and rightly so. At Eurovan Trading, we believe in transparent and customized pricing. Instead of a one-size-fits-all price, we tailor quotes based on your specific needs and the prevailing market conditions. Here’s what goes into the cost of frozen fries and how we optimize it for you:

• Raw Potato Costs: Potatoes are an agricultural product, so their prices can fluctuate with seasons (harvest time, yield, etc.). Egypt’s advantage is multiple growing seasons and a cost-effective supply. We schedule production in sync with peak harvests to secure the best raw material price, which keeps your fry cost stable.
• Cut Size & Processing: The size of the fry and whether it’s coated or uncoated slightly affects the cost. Thinner fries and coated fries require more processing or ingredients (batter for coating), which can add a small premium. We’ll discuss these nuances with you. For example, a 9mm coated fry might be a bit pricier than a 9mm straight fry, but if you need that longer hold time for delivery, the investment often pays off.
• Oil Type: We typically use palm olein oil for pre-frying because it’s stable and cost-effective. If a client requests sunflower oil (perhaps for marketing as 0% cholesterol or catering to certain health specs), note that sunflower oil is more expensive, thus affecting price. We’re happy to do it – just transparent that it can add a few cents per kilo.
• Packaging Configuration: Our standard wholesale pack is 4×2.5kg per carton (10kg net). If you need retail packs (like 10×1kg), the extra packaging material and slightly less efficient pallet use can increase cost per ton. On the other hand, bulk Frozen French Fries 10kg packs are cheapest to produce but may not be suitable for retail sale. We’ll provide pricing for various packing options, and you can decide which is a better trade-off between convenience and cost.
• Order Volume: Simply put, bigger orders = better pricing per unit. Ordering full container loads on a regular schedule will get you the best rates, because we save on scale and pass that on. We do entertain smaller orders (e.g., a 20ft container or half container) to start, but the price for smaller quantities might be slightly higher. As you scale up with us, we adjust pricing in your favor.
• Logistics & Incoterm Choice: If we quote CIF or DDP, the price includes freight and possibly duty. We leverage our bulk Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai shipping volumes to get good freight rates. For example, a CIF Dubai price will reflect the current ocean freight cost. If freight costs drop or you handle shipping (FOB pricing), your product price stands separately. We are fully transparent – if you ever want a breakdown of product cost vs freight vs extras, just ask.

To give an indicative idea, frozen fries prices are usually quoted per metric ton (1000 kg) or per carton. Global market prices can range (for standard 9×9 fries) from, say, $XXX to $YYY per ton FOB, depending on time of year and origin. Eurovan’s pricing will always be market-competitive for the quality you get. We won’t be the dirt-cheapest (those often come with quality compromises or unreliable supply), but we aim to give the best value – an excellent product at a fair price that lets you make healthy margins in Dubai.

🔍 Choosing a Frozen French Fries Supplier in Dubai: What Matters

Not all suppliers are created equal. When you’re evaluating a frozen french fries supplier for the Dubai market, there are several factors savvy buyers consider beyond just the price per carton. Based on our decades of experience working with importers, here’s a checklist of what to look for (and how Eurovan Trading measures up):

• Product Specifications & Consistency: Professional buyers request detailed spec sheets – dry matter content, fry length distribution, color grade, etc. This ensures the fries meet their required standards (for example, a big fast-food chain might require >70% of fries to be over 7cm length). Eurovan provides full specs and keeps the product consistent from batch to batch. We even maintain the same potato variety per order to avoid any surprises in texture or taste.
• Production Capacity & Reliability with Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai: Can the supplier meet your volume needs consistently? Do they have off-season production or storage to cover year-round demand? Eurovan has a large production capacity and can produce thousands of tons of frozen fries annually. We plan production schedules for each key client, ensuring your demand is always prioritized. Plus, we have buffer stock for quick top-ups.
• Quality Control Systems: Does the supplier hold internationally recognized certifications (HACCP, BRC, ISO, etc.)? Do they have a track record of passing audits from other clients (like big multinational restaurant chains)? With Eurovan, you’re in safe hands. Our certifications are up-to-date, and we welcome client audits. In fact, some of our global QSR clients have audited our processes, which we passed with high marks.
• Regulatory Compliance: The UAE has specific import requirements (e.g., Emirates Quality Mark for some foods, shelf-life regulations, etc.). A supplier who is familiar with these and can proactively comply is gold. We are very familiar with UAE import rules: for instance, we know French fries get a standard 2-year shelf life from production in UAE – and we always ensure at least 18+ months remaining upon arrival by managing production dates and shipping promptly.
• Communication & Support: Time zone differences and language barriers can make some suppliers hard to deal with. Ensure your supplier has good English (or Arabic) communication and is responsive. Eurovan’s export team is highly accessible. We align with UAE working days/hours, and are reachable on WhatsApp or phone for quick communications. No waiting 2 days for an email reply – we value your time.
• References & Reputation: Finally, it doesn’t hurt to check if the supplier has other clients in the region or success stories. A supplier experienced in Dubai will know the ropes. Eurovan Trading is a known name in the Middle East frozen food trade. We can share references if needed. Many importers trust us as their primary source for frozen potatoes and more.

In summary, choose a supplier that gives you peace of mind. The right partner will ensure you never worry about quality rejections, delays, or unhappy customers. Eurovan Trading strives to be that partner for you – combining product excellence with top-notch service.

🌐 Global Frozen Fries Market Trends (Dubai in the World Stage)

To truly appreciate the value of a good supplier, it helps to understand the global Frozen French Fries Supplier in Dubai industry and where Dubai fits in. Here are some insightful trends:

• Global Trade Flows: The frozen fry industry is dominated by a few big exporting regions – notably Europe (Belgium, Netherlands are huge exporters), North America, and growing players like China and Turkey. Egypt is an emerging source that offers geographic proximity to the Middle East and competitive pricing. By importing from Egypt (via Eurovan), Dubai businesses tap into a reliable alternative supply outside the crowded European season.
• Surge in Emerging Markets: Markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa are experiencing the fastest growth in frozen potato imports, outpacing growth in the West. The Gulf region, with its high income and cosmopolitan food scene, is a prime example. This surge means suppliers are paying more attention to these regions – you’ll see more innovation (like spicy coated fries for Asian markets, or extra long fries for new burger concepts). Eurovan keeps an eye on these developments and can offer new products as they arise.
• Industry Consolidation: A few multinational companies (like McCain, Lamb Weston, etc.) dominate global production. However, their output often prioritizes Europe/North America. For importers in Dubai, working with a flexible supplier like Eurovan can be advantageous because we give mid-sized importers attention that big multinationals might not. We also can be more nimble in customizing products or terms for you.
• Supply Chain Challenges: The last few years have taught the world about supply chain risks – from shipping container shortages to sudden surges in freight costs. Global frozen fry prices spiked at times due to increased demand and logistic bottlenecks. Having a dependable regional supplier mitigates some risk. Egypt to UAE is a relatively short route and we have strong logistics partners, insulating you from many global disruptions.
• Rise of Health & Variety: Worldwide, there’s a push towards healthier options and variety. In some places, sweet potato fries or lower-carb options are appearing. While classic French fries remain king (and likely will in the UAE for a long time), we stay prepared to offer product variations if the market shifts. For instance, if there’s demand in Dubai for sweet potato fries or crinkle-cut with a particular seasoning, we have the capability to produce or source those.

Bottom line: Dubai may be just one city, but it’s a heavyweight in the food world – often on par with entire countries in terms of import volume! Partnering with Eurovan Trading connects you to the global supply of frozen fries through a company that understands local nuances. We marry global perspective with local focus, which is crucial for staying ahead in this industry.

Q1. Can Eurovan Trading ship frozen French fries directly to Dubai?
A1. Yes – we regularly ship frozen fries to clients in Dubai and across the GCC. We typically send full container loads by sea to Jebel Ali Port in Dubai. Shipping takes about 10-12 days on average. We can handle everything from export documents to arranging delivery to your warehouse. Even if you’re new to importing, we’ll guide you step by step.

Q2. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) with Frozen French Fries Supplier to Dubai?
A2. Our standard MOQ is one 40-ft container (around 24-25 tons of fries). This ensures the best freight efficiency and product pricing for you. However, for new customers or initial trials, we can discuss smaller loads (e.g., a 20-ft container or a half container share). We also offer LCL (Less than Container Load) options in certain cases, grouping your order with other cargo to reduce cost – this can be useful for first orders or niche products.

Q3. Do I need to pay import duties on frozen fries in the UAE?
A3. Normally, the UAE imposes a 5% import duty on most food products, including frozen prepared potatoes (HS Code 2004.10). The good news: Egypt-origin products like our fries qualify for duty-free import under the GAFTA free trade agreement. We provide an Arab League Certificate of Origin that UAE customs honors, so you don’t pay any customs duty. You may still incur minimal port fees or municipality fees, but the hefty duty is waived – saving you money.

Q4. Are your frozen French fries Halal certified?
A4. Absolutely. All our products, including French fries and any processing aids we use, are 100% Halal. We include a Halal Certification with each shipment. This is a requirement for importing into GCC countries, and we strictly adhere to it. So whether you’re selling to restaurants or retail customers, you can assure them the product is Halal-compliant.

Q5. Can I get my own brand (private label) on the fries?
A5. Yes, we specialize in private labeling. We can pack the fries in bags with your brand name and design. Many of our Dubai clients sell our fries under their own labels in supermarkets or use their branding when supplying hotels and restaurants. We handle the packaging printing, ensure it meets UAE label laws, and even help with design if needed. The MOQ for a private label run is typically one full container per SKU/design to make it cost-effective.

Q6. How long is the shelf life and how should I store the fries?
A6. Our frozen French fries have a 24-month shelf life from the production date. They come with clearly printed Production and Best-Before dates. To maintain quality, you should store the fries at -18°C or colder. In Dubai’s climate, this means they must go into a proper frozen storage (cold store or commercial freezer) immediately upon receipt. Avoid any temperature thawing during transit inside the city. If kept continuously frozen, they’ll stay fresh and ready to fry for the full shelf life (and even a bit beyond, though we recommend using within date for best results).

Q7. How many cartons of fries fit in a 40-foot container?
A7. A 40’ HC container can fit approximately 2,300 to 2,500 cartons of fries, depending on carton size and pallet configuration. For example, if using the 4×2.5kg (10kg) cartons, we typically load about 2,352 cartons (which equals 23.52 tons net if fully maxed out, since some weight is taken by pallets). If using smaller 1kg retail packs (10x1kg cartons), the total net weight might be slightly less due to more carton material and a bit more air space. In any case, roughly 22-25 tons net of product is the capacity range. We always optimize the loading to utilize maximum allowable weight and space without compromising air flow.

Q8. What’s the difference between coated and uncoated fries – should I consider coated fries for my business?
A8. Uncoated fries are the classic French fries – just potato and a bit of surface starch, par-fried. Coated fries have a thin invisible batter (often a rice or corn starch mix) applied before par-frying. The coating makes fries extra crispy and holds heat longer after frying. In Dubai, if you’re serving delivery or buffet, coated fries can be a game-changer because they stay crispy for 2x longer than regular fries (e.g., 15-20 minutes crisp hold vs 5-10 minutes for uncoated). Many fast-food chains use coated fries for this reason. The taste difference is minimal (some say a bit more crunchy texture). Coated fries are slightly more expensive, but if your business involves delivery or if you’ve had issues with soggy fries, we recommend trying them. We supply both types – you can even order a mix in one container (e.g., half coated, half uncoated) to offer options to your clients.
