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:
| Cut Size & Style | Packaging Options | Private Label Available? | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6×6 mm (Shoestring) | 1 kg, 2.5 kg, 10 kg bulk | Yes ✅ | Quick-service restaurants, cafés (fast fry, crispy) |
| 9×9 mm (Standard) | 2.5 kg, 10 kg | Yes ✅ | Supermarkets, retail chains (versatile, popular size) |

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.)

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:
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:
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.
Clearing UAE customs is straightforward with Eurovan Trading handling the paperwork. We prepare a complete set of export documents for each shipment, including:
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.
We offer multiple shipping arrangements to suit your preferences and experience:
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!
Choosing Eurovan Trading as your frozen fries supplier is a smart business move. Here are the concrete benefits that our Dubai partners enjoy:
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.
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.
When you choose our private label service, we assist with:
| Feature | Options & Details | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Pack Sizes | 1kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg (custom sizes on request) | Covers both retail and foodservice markets. You can target multiple segments. |
| Cut Types | Shoestring (6mm), Standard (9mm), Steak (10mm), Crinkle, Wedges; also coated vs. uncoated | Choose a variety or a signature cut for your brand. Coated fries give you a “delivery special” product. |
| Oil & Recipe | Palm olein (standard) or Sunflower (premium); custom batter seasoning if needed | Align with market preferences (e.g., sunflower oil for a “healthier” image). |
| Branding & Artwork | Customized design in Arabic/English, includes nutritional info, cooking instructions, barcode | Professional packaging builds trust on shelves; compliance with UAE label laws avoids fines. |
| Minimum Order | ~1 FCL (approx 20-25 tons) per SKU for cost-efficiency (lower quantities possible for trial) | Economies of scale keep unit costs low; trials allow you to test the market risk-free. |
| Certificates Provided | Halal, Health Cert, ISO/HACCP, any specific docs required by Dubai Municipality | Ensures your private label product meets all regulatory requirements and can be stocked by major retailers. |
Success Story: One of our Dubai retail clients launched their own brand of frozen fries in 2022 using Eurovan as the supplier. Within 6 months, their brand became a top seller in the frozen aisle, competing with well-known international brands – because we delivered superior taste at a better price. This illustrates how powerful a well-executed private label strategy can be in the UAE market. We’re ready to help you write a similar success story.
We stand behind our product quality and we want you to be absolutely confident in it too. For serious business inquiries, we offer comprehensive support before you place a commercial order:
Our goal is to make you comfortable and excited about adding Eurovan fries to your product line. Don’t hesitate to contact us and request your sample kit or a consultation call.
Importing with Eurovan Trading is straightforward and transparent. Here’s a step-by-step timeline of how a typical order progresses from initial inquiry to fries arriving at your facility in Dubai:

| 1. Submit Inquiry – Contact us with your needs. | 1–2 days | You reach out via WhatsApp, email, or our form, detailing your required volume, cut, packaging, etc. Our support: We respond within 24-48 hours, clarify any questions, and provide initial pricing estimates. |
| 2. Receive Samples – Validate quality. | ~1 week (concurrent) | We send samples of our fries to you in Dubai for testing (if needed). You can skip this if you’re already confident. Our support: We handle quick dispatch of sample packs and provide spec sheets for review. |
| 3. Confirm Pricing & Terms – Finalize the deal. | 3–5 days | Price negotiation: We finalize a competitive quote (FOB or CIF/door) based on your volume. Terms: Agree on Incoterm (e.g., CIF Dubai), payment terms (typically a small deposit with balance against documents or L/C). Our support: Flexible negotiation, transparent breakdown of costs (product, freight, etc.), and draft contract provided. |
| 4. Production & Packaging – Order processing. | 1–2 weeks | In production: We schedule your order in our production line. This includes making the fries, packing into your chosen bag size (with your branding if private label), and palletizing for export. Our support: We keep you updated with production progress and share photos or videos if requested. All export docs are prepared during this stage. |
| 5. Shipping – From Egypt to UAE. | 10–14 days (sea transit) | Container loading: We load your order into a sealed reefer container and hand over to the shipping line. Transit: The vessel sails to Jebel Ali, Dubai. Our support: We provide the B/L, tracking info, and pre-alert our clearing partner in UAE (or yours) with all documents so they are ready for arrival. |
| 6. Customs Clearance & Delivery – Receive your fries. | 2–3 days (upon arrival) | Customs: Upon vessel arrival, clearance documentation is processed. Any inspections (rare for well-documented food shipments) are handled smoothly. Delivery: Container is released and trucked to your location. Our support: We actively coordinate with your team, providing any needed clarifications to Dubai Customs, and ensure the cold chain is maintained up to unloading at your warehouse. |
Total lead time from inquiry to delivery can be as fast as ~4-6 weeks (if you move quickly on your end). We’ve had new clients go from first email to selling fries in their outlets in just over a month! For repeat orders, the process is even quicker since specs and terms are set – we just slot your order into production and off we go.

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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
To help you understand how different choices affect pricing, here’s a quick reference:
| Cost Driver | Options (Examples) | Impact on Unit Price / Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Cut Size | 6mm shoestring vs 9mm standard vs 13mm steak | Minor effect: Larger cuts use more potato per fry (slightly higher cost per kg due to lower piece count), but difference is small. Choose based on end-use, not just price. |
| Coating | Coated (battered) vs Uncoated | Coated fries cost a bit more (extra ingredients & process) but reduce waste by staying crisp longer (could save money in the long run for delivery outlets). |
| Pre-fry Oil | Palm olein vs Sunflower oil | Sunflower-fried fries may add ~$20-30 per ton due to oil cost, but can be marketed as premium. Palm is economical and widely accepted. |
| Packaging | Bulk 10kg packs vs 2.5kg packs vs retail 1kg | Bulk pack cheapest per kg. More smaller packs increase cost (packaging materials + less net weight per pallet). Balance packaging with your customer needs. |
| Shipping Term | FOB (you arrange freight) vs CIF (we arrange to Dubai) vs DDP (we arrange everything) | CIF includes freight in price – convenient if you don’t have freight contracts. DDP includes freight + duty + local delivery – highest all-in unit price but no effort needed from your side. We give you options. |
| Volume & Frequency | One-time order vs regular schedule (monthly/quarterly) | Committing to regular volumes can secure you better rates and priority production slots. We reward loyal partners with stable pricing even if market fluctuates. |
Ultimately, we encourage you to talk to us for a custom quote. We’ll ask a few questions about your needs and quickly work out a detailed offer. No obligation – we want you to see the numbers and feel comfortable. Request a quote here and let us show you what we can do.

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:
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!

We’ve compiled answers to some common questions about bringing frozen fries into the UAE. If you have other queries, our team is just a message away!
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.
