Dolomite currently trades in a reference FOB band of USD 55โ130 per metric tonne, a spread of roughly 58% between the lowest and highest quoted origins. The width of that band is driven mainly by grade (Refractory), loading origin, packaging format and order size. On a CIF basis into GCC ports, ocean freight, bunker surcharges and destination terminal handling typically add a further layer on top of FOB, and duty plus VAT are applied at the port of entry. Tradloc refreshes these reference ranges from supplier offers and lane data, so use them as a negotiation baseline rather than a settled contract price.
Commercial cargoes of Dolomite reaching the GCC are sourced primarily from UAE, Oman, India, Turkey. Saudi Arabia and the UAE take the bulk of GCC volumes for cement, glass, ceramics and drilling applications, with Oman and Iraq importing for industrial and oilfield use. Origin choice materially changes delivered cost: shorter lanes from India, Iran and the wider Middle East usually land cheaper on freight but can carry tighter grade availability, while Far East and European origins often offer wider specification choice at higher freight and longer transit.
Dolomite is normally classified under HS 251810. GCC members apply the Unified Customs Tariff, so the same heading generally applies across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, with Iraq operating its own tariff schedule. Confirm the final code with your customs broker against the exact specification, purity and packaging on the commercial invoice, because a change of grade can shift the subheading and the duty rate that applies.
