OpenStructured database, not guesswork
Every price is looked up in a curated grade-level database. If a commodity has no verified assessment, Tradloc says so instead of estimating.
Transparent methodology
Assessments state grade, HS code, incoterm basis, producing origin and confidence level so buyers can audit the number.
Dated and versioned
Each grade carries a last-updated stamp and a price frequency, so you always know how fresh the assessment is.
GCC-specialist coverage
Built specifically for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq import lanes, duties and port realities.

Tradloc unifies pricing, shipping and import intelligence so sourcing, pricing and trade decisions are grounded in one regional reference set.
GCC-focused market intelligence, built for regional trade.
- • Coverage across all GCC markets and major MENA import routes.
- • Intelligence spanning commodity pricing, shipping, duty, VAT and landed cost.
- • Structured database — estimates are not fabricated by a language model.
- • Built for SME traders, importers, exporters and manufacturers.

How Tradloc estimates market intelligence
Estimates are built from a structured market database that combines multiple regional factors, rather than a language model's guess.
Estimates are indicative for early supply-chain planning and negotiation; they do not replace binding quotations from suppliers, freight forwarders and clearing agents.
How Tradloc works
Every pricing, freight and classification tool on Tradloc is free to use with no account required. Tradloc funds itself through the sourcing and brokerage services importers request after running a report — the intelligence layer stays open.
1 · Run a report
Pick a commodity, grade, origin and destination to get an assessed FOB, CIF and delivered range — free, instantly, no sign-up.
2 · Check the methodology
Every figure carries its data source, review date and confidence rating, so procurement teams can audit the number before using it in a budget.
3 · Request a quotation
When you are ready to buy, the Dubai trade desk turns the estimate into an executable offer from vetted suppliers and forwarders. That service is where Tradloc earns.
