FCL, LCL, and air freight from Turkey, the Gulf, and across the
Middle East to the U.S. One coordinator, origin dock to final door.


Middle East trade with the U.S. runs on two engines. Turkey exports manufactured goods at scale, textiles, machinery, and building materials moving through Istanbul and Izmir. The Gulf moves high-value and time-sensitive cargo through Jebel Ali, the transshipment hub connecting the whole region to every major ocean service.

AEEM Shipping is a licensed freight forwarder and FMCSA-authorized broker headquartered in Los Angeles County (FF# 65907, MC# 1672315, DOT# 4295954), TSA/IAC certified for air cargo. We work with origin agents across the region's export hubs, Istanbul and Izmir for Turkish manufacturing, Jebel Ali for Gulf consolidation, and run U.S. delivery through New York, Houston, and our own same-day drayage at LA and Long Beach.
Ocean freight from the eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf runs roughly 25 to 35 days to U.S. ports depending on routing and transshipment, which is exactly why air carries so much of this region's trade: 2 to 4 days door to door for cargo that earns it. The routing decision runs on your math, a Texas delivery usually enters through Houston, a western warehouse through LA, and we quote the options side by side instead of defaulting to a lane.

Straight answers on ocean, air, and routing from the region.
Ocean freight runs roughly 25 to 35 days depending on origin and routing, with transshipment through hubs like Jebel Ali adding time on some lanes. Air freight runs 2 to 4 days door to door. We quote total transit on both so you can decide.
Ocean wins on cost for full containers and freight that can plan around a month of transit. Air wins for high-value, seasonal, and launch cargo where a month on the water costs more than the freight bill. Many of our regional customers run both, ocean for base stock and air for replenishment.
Yes. Dubai and Jebel Ali are the region's consolidation hub, and we coordinate FCL, LCL, and air freight from the UAE to the U.S., including cargo transshipping through Jebel Ali from across the Gulf.
Whichever fits the delivery. New York serves the Northeast and Midwest, Houston serves Texas and the Gulf, and all-water to Los Angeles serves western deliveries, where our own drayage runs same-day. We price the routings so the numbers decide.
