Cash and carry and wholesale
Pallet and container pricing for wholesalers supplying the independent grocery trade around Deira and the wider Dubai area.
Wholesale supply into Dubai
Deira and Al Aweer between them form the largest re-export food trade in the region. A pallet landed here can be in Nairobi or Tashkent inside a fortnight, which is why Dubai buyers order deeper than their own retail needs.
The trade in Dubai
Deira · Al Aweer Central Market · Bur Dubai · Al Quoz
These are the districts we quote against. If you buy or sell in any of them, you are who this page is for.
How stock arrives
Sea freight into Jebel Ali, then onward by road. Roughly 7 to 12 days from Mundra or Nhava Sheva. Full clearance requirements are on the United Arab Emirates export page.
Who we supply in Dubai
Whether you already import or have never brought in a container, the enquiry starts the same way.
Independent grocery and supermarkets
Case quantities through your existing distributor, or direct if you buy at volume. A glass marble bottle earns a facing that a fourth cola never will.
Restaurants and catering
A bottled drink that arrives at the table as something to look at. Restaurants in this trade have a drinks list problem, and this solves part of it.
Importers taking the territory
If nobody is bringing Indian marble soda into Dubai yet, that is the opportunity, and it comes with exclusivity in writing.
What you are stocking
A 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed by a marble — the same bottle sold worldwide as ramune, made in India where it has been called goli soda for a century. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, FSSAI licence 20926012000879.
It sells to two people at once: someone who grew up with it, and someone who has never seen a bottle open that way.

Wholesale in Dubai
Do you supply Indian drinks wholesale in Dubai?
We are an Indian producer, not a local wholesaler, so we supply Dubai by the container through an importer or distributor of record in United Arab Emirates. If you are already importing, we can quote you directly. If you are a retailer or restaurant, tell us and we will point you to whoever holds the territory, or open it if nobody does.
How does stock reach Dubai?
Sea freight from India into Jebel Ali, then onward by road. Roughly 7 to 12 days from Mundra or Nhava Sheva on the water. We produce to order rather than shipping from stock, so shelf life is intact when the container lands — which matters because several markets set a minimum remaining life at the port.
What paperwork do I need to import into Dubai?
United Arab Emirates is regulated by MOCCAE and the local municipality food control authority. Imports clear through the Food Import and Re-export System. Each label is registered before the goods land, and every consignment is filed against that registration. Dubai Municipality runs the busiest desk, but Abu Dhabi and Sharjah each run their own. The full requirement list is on our United Arab Emirates export page, including the part most importers get wrong.
What is the minimum order for Dubai?
One 20ft container as a standard first order. Below that, sea freight per case starts to dominate the landed cost and the numbers stop working. Consolidated trial quantities are possible — ask.
What exactly is the product?
Zeros Classic Lemon Goli Soda: a 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed with a marble, the same format sold worldwide as ramune. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, made under FSSAI licence 20926012000879 in Himachal Pradesh.
