Get Your Moving Quote
Tell us where you are moving from in the USA, where you are moving to in Saudi Arabia, approximately how much you are shipping, and when you expect to move.
-
Plan Your Shipment
Your moving specialist can help determine whether sea or air freight is appropriate and identify services such as packing, crating, storage, or specialty handling.
-
Pack and Prepare Your Belongings
Your household goods can be professionally packed, wrapped, and crated as needed. A detailed inventory is also important for international customs clearance.
-
Transport Your Shipment
Your belongings are transported from your US residence to the appropriate freight facility or port before being shipped to Saudi Arabia by sea or air.
-
Complete Saudi Customs Clearance
Your shipment must be cleared through Saudi customs. ZATCA requires documentation for personal imports and allows customs procedures to be completed through the importer or an authorized customs broker.
-
Deliver to Your Saudi Residence
Once your shipment has cleared customs and any applicable charges or requirements have been addressed, it can continue to your destination in Saudi Arabia for final delivery.
Prepare with confidence
Your USA to Saudi Arabia Shipping Checklist
Preparing early can help you organize your household shipment, gather the required documents and address Saudi customs requirements before your belongings leave the USA. Review these points before packing day.
-
Make a complete inventory
List your furniture, appliances, clothing, electronics and other household goods clearly. An accurate inventory helps with customs documentation and makes it easier to identify items that may need special attention.
-
Check Saudi import restrictions
Review prohibited and restricted goods before packing. Weapons, ammunition, narcotics, fireworks, counterfeit currency and certain other goods are prohibited, while some medicines, cosmetics and regulated products may require approval.
-
Check whether your goods qualify for an exemption
Used personal luggage and household appliances may qualify for customs-duty exemption when the applicable conditions are met. Eligible goods must generally be used, intended for personal use and imported within six months of the qualifying person’s arrival in Saudi Arabia.
-
Prepare your customs documents
Depending on your circumstances and shipping method, you may need your passport, national ID or Iqama, proof of residence abroad or first arrival, Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, delivery order and receipts for new goods.
-
Keep vehicles separate from household-goods planning
Imported vehicles are not included in the applicable customs-duty exemption for used household goods. Discuss any car you’re shipping with us before arranging your international transportation.
-
Book your international move in advance
Allow time for packing, documentation, freight arrangements and customs preparation before your belongings leave the USA. Early planning gives you more opportunity to address any requirements before your shipment reaches Saudi Arabia.
Vehicles and delivery
International Car & Vehicle Shipping to Saudi Arabia
If you are planning to ship a car to Saudi Arabia from the USA, vehicle import requirements should be reviewed before your vehicle is shipped.
Saudi Arabia has specific controls governing imported vehicles, including requirements relating to vehicle age, energy efficiency, and conformity. ZATCA states that small vehicles, buses and light transport vehicles generally must not exceed five years from the applicable model-year calculation, subject to the rules and exceptions that apply. Vehicles must also meet applicable Saudi requirements, and additional fees can apply in certain circumstances.
Vehicles require separate customs documentation from household goods. For sea imports, ZATCA lists documents including the Bill of Lading and vehicle ownership or export documentation.
Because vehicle eligibility and costs can depend on the vehicle’s age, specifications, ownership, and import status, confirm the requirements for your specific vehicle before arranging transportation.
Cities we deliver to
Shipping Household Goods to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam & Across Saudi Arabia
We can arrange shipping to Saudi Arabia for relocations to cities throughout the Kingdom, from anywhere in the US.
- Your international shipment will typically enter Saudi Arabia through an appropriate sea or air gateway before continuing to its final destination.
- For example, a household moving to Riyadh may require inland transportation after the international portion of the shipment, while customers relocating to coastal destinations such as Jeddah or Dammam may have different routing and delivery requirements.
- Your origin in the USA, final Saudi destination, shipment volume, and transportation method all affect the route and cost. We can coordinate the international and destination transportation rather than leaving you to arrange each stage separately.

Can you deliver my household goods anywhere in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. We coordinate international transportation and final delivery to destinations throughout Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and other cities.
How long does shipping from the USA to Saudi Arabia take?
Transit times vary by US origin, Saudi destination, freight method and shipping schedule. We can provide an estimated timeline for your specific move.
Can I ship furniture and appliances to Saudi Arabia?
Yes, you can generally ship household furniture, appliances and personal belongings as part of an international relocation. However, Saudi customs requirements and any applicable exemptions depend on factors such as your residency status, whether the goods are used and the type of items being imported. An accurate inventory helps determine what can be included in your shipment.
Can I ship my belongings directly to Riyadh?
