Who ships from Ajman to Saudi Arabia?

Most of our customers in Ajman are families living in tower flats in Al Nuaimiya, Al Rashidiya, Ajman Corniche and Emirates City who are moving to the Kingdom for a new job or going back home. Others are students who’ve finished their studies at Ajman’s universities, and owners of small shops moving their stock. Al Jurf, Al Hamidiya and Al Rawda have villas and family homes.

The shipment’s route from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

Stage	Details	Approx. time
Collection and packing	At your flat or home in Ajman, with dismantling and inventory	One day
Ajman → Ghuwaifat crossing	Via Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi	About seven and a half hours
Crossing and clearance	Ghuwaifat, then Al Batha	Hours to a day
Al Batha → your Saudi city	Al Ahsa and Dammam first, then Riyadh and the west	Hours to two days

Ajman is in the north of the UAE, so the road from there to the crossing runs through Sharjah and Dubai. We set off at night or at dawn to avoid the traffic, and reach the border during working hours.

Transit time from Ajman to Saudi cities

Destination city in the Kingdom	Approx. time from Ajman
Al Ahsa, Dammam and Khobar	One to two working days
Riyadh and Al Kharj	Two to three working days
Qassim and Hail	Three to four working days
Jeddah, Makkah and Taif	Three to five working days
Madinah and Yanbu	Four to five working days
Abha, Jazan and Najran	Four to six working days

It can take half a day longer than from Dubai because of the extra distance. Times are counted from the day of loading.

These are starting prices from your door in Ajman to your door in the Kingdom, and they may be slightly higher than Dubai’s because of the extra distance. The price depends on the volume, the floor, the services you need and the Saudi city.

These prices don’t include Saudi customs duties or VAT where they apply, as with commercial goods, new appliances and cars, and we’ll explain that to you before loading.

Land by truck	Furniture, appliances, goods and cars	Two to three working days	The most used option, door to door
Sea by container	Full containers and heavy goods	A few days longer than land	From Jebel Ali or Khalifa to Dammam or Jeddah
Air	Urgent parcels and documents	One to two working days	Charged on volumetric weight, and dearer for large volumes

Land suits most shipments from Ajman. For full containers you can ship from Ajman Port or from Jebel Ali, and air freight from Sharjah or Dubai Airport is for urgent parcels.

Ajman towers and freight lifts

Most Ajman towers are residential with a single freight lift, and the management sets the hours it can be used. Give us the tower’s name, and we’ll book the lift, protect its walls with blankets, and bring the furniture down to the truck in the car park.

Small shipments from Ajman

Many Ajman residents move only a few things: a bedroom set, some appliances and cartons. We put these on the shared truck, so you pay only for your share of the space, with prices from SAR 940.

Packing furniture in Ajman

Furniture packing from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

We pack a flat’s furniture for the long road:

Screens and TV units in padded boxes and blankets.
Sofas in plastic, then blankets.
Bedrooms dismantled, with screws numbered.
Dishes in divided cartons.
Washing machine and fridge in double-wall cartons, kept upright.
Clothes in sealed cartons.

Loading in Ajman

We bring the furniture down in the freight lift to the car park, load it in order, and choose the truck to suit the volume:

Loading the truck from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

Truck type	Best for	How it is priced
Shared truck	Cartons, one or two rooms, a few appliances	Per kg, per item or per cubic metre
Private dyna or medium truck	A small flat or an office	One price for the whole trip
13 to 15 m closed trailer	A villa or large home, or goods	One price for the whole trip
Refrigerated truck	Dates, food and sensitive medicines	Per pallet or per trip
Enclosed car carrier	One or more cars	Per car, by size

The load is built in layers and strapped down, and we send you a photo of it before the truck sets off.

Car shipping from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

We collect the car from your home in Ajman, clean and photograph it, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and strap it down.

The Kingdom allows the import of used cars no more than five years old under the current requirements, provided they meet Saudi specifications, with 5% customs duty and 15% VAT. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details with the broker before booking. Its papers: the car’s ownership card, the export certificate and export plates from Ajman Traffic, the purchase invoice, and a copy of your passport and ID.

The customs exemption for used furniture in the Kingdom

The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) exempts personal effects and used household items brought in by a Saudi returning after living abroad, and by a foreigner coming to live in the Kingdom for the first time, provided they’re used, meant for personal rather than commercial use, and arrive within six months of their owner. Cars aren’t covered by this exemption, and VAT is still due on anything the exemption doesn’t cover. Usually required:

A copy of the Saudi national ID, or the Saudi iqama for residents.
A copy of the passport.
Proof of your previous residence in the UAE, or that you’re arriving for the first time.
A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
An authorisation for the customs broker through the FASAH platform.

New appliances still in their boxes and in quantity may be treated as goods subject to duties and VAT, and we’ll tell you before loading.

Goods from Ajman to the Kingdom

We ship goods for shops and small factories from Ajman’s industrial area on pallets, with their invoices and certificates of origin, and send the papers to the broker before the truck reaches Al Batha.

Documents required for shipping from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

A copy of the sender’s passport and Emirates ID or residence visa.
A copy of the receiver’s Saudi national ID or iqama.
A numbered packing list.
For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list, plus a conformity certificate through the SABER platform for items that need one.
For cars: the ownership card and the export certificate.
The broker’s authorisation through FASAH.

Crossing from Ghuwaifat to Al Batha

The truck leaves the Ghuwaifat crossing once the UAE export papers are stamped, then enters the Al Batha crossing, the only land crossing between the two countries, where the broker files the Saudi customs declaration and the load is checked against the packing list. When the papers have been sent ahead, this usually takes a few hours, and the truck then carries on to your city. From Ajman the road to Ghuwaifat is the longest of the west-coast emirates, so we make sure the truck doesn’t reach the crossing at night.

Delivery in Saudi cities

We deliver to Riyadh, Dammam, Khobar, Al Ahsa, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and elsewhere, and we carry the furniture in, reassemble it and check it with you.

Air freight from Ajman to Saudi Arabia

Urgent parcels and documents go by air from Sharjah or Dubai Airport to Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam, arriving within one to two working days. It’s charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, which you can estimate with our volumetric weight calculator. For furniture and appliances, land freight is far cheaper and only a few days slower.

Cargo insurance

We recommend insuring cars, expensive appliances and antiques for a small percentage of their declared value, and we photograph your belongings before loading in every case, so you have a record to refer back to.
