Office and company moves from the Eastern Province to Qatar

Oil, gas and contracting companies in the Eastern Province have projects and branches in Qatar, and many employees and engineers move between the two countries. So we move whole offices: computers and screens in padded boxes, files in cartons numbered by department, and office furniture dismantled, with a packing list the admin team in Qatar can check against.

The Eastern Province also sends light project equipment and tools, which we ship on pallets with their commercial papers.

Packing furniture in Dammam

The Eastern Province has summer heat and coastal humidity, and the road to Qatar crosses the desert, so we pack:

• Bedrooms: wardrobes and beds dismantled, screws numbered.
• Kitchen: dishes wrapped one by one, appliances in double-wall cartons.
• Living room: sofas in plastic then blankets, glass tables in a wooden frame.
• Offices: computers and printers in padded boxes.
• Children’s rooms: bunk beds dismantled, toys in clear boxes.

Loading in Dammam and the truck type

Private trucks come to your door and are loaded and strapped in front of you; small shipments are consolidated at our Dammam warehouse with a mark and number for each customer.

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

Every truck carries a packing list matching its load, because the broker at Abu Samra checks the contents against it.

Car shipping from Dammam to Qatar

We prepare the car in Dammam: clean it, photograph it and fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it with straps and chocks.

Qatar has conditions for importing used cars, chiefly that a light vehicle is no more than five years old from its manufacture date, meets the approved specifications and passes the FAHES inspection, with 5% customs duty on the value assessed by customs. A car is not covered by the household-goods exemption. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details with the broker in Qatar before booking. Its papers from the Kingdom: a valid registration, no fines or liens, an export request through Absher or the traffic department with the plates handed in, the purchase invoice or sale contract, and a copy of your ID or iqama.

If you will drive your own car to Qatar for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing at Salwa with valid insurance covering Qatar and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.

Delivery in Qatar

After release the truck continues to your address in Doha, Al Rayyan, Lusail, Al Wakrah or Al Khor. The crew unloads, carries everything inside and reassembles the furniture, and you check the items with us before signing.

Air freight from Dammam to Qatar

Urgent parcels and documents go by air from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam to Hamad International Airport in Doha, usually arriving in one to two working days including clearance.

Air suits:

• Documents, contracts and certificates.
• Small devices such as laptops and phones in their original boxes.
• Commercial samples and urgent spare parts.
• Gifts and light personal items.

It is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight; send us the weight and dimensions and we will work it out for you. A truck to Qatar arrives in a few days, so land is far cheaper for furniture and appliances.

Shipping goods from the Eastern Province to Qatar

Plastic products, spare parts, equipment, building materials and consumer goods leave Dammam and Jubail for Qatar. We stack them on pallets, prepare the invoice, GCC certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared or full truck.

Cities we collect from in the Eastern Province

Dammam and districts such as Al Faisaliyah, Al Shati, Al Nuzhah and Al Mazruiyah; Khobar, Al Aqrabiyah, Al Thuqbah and Al Rakah; Dhahran and Al Doha; Qatif, Saihat and Safwa; Ras Tanura; Jubail Industrial; Nairiyah; Abqaiq; and Al Ahsa.

What customs in Qatar asks for

Before the truck moves we make sure your file with the broker is complete, because one missing paper holds the truck at Abu Samra. Usually required:

• A copy of the receiver’s passport and Qatar ID.
• A copy of a valid Qatari residence for non-nationals.
• A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
• An official authorisation for the customs broker.
• Avoid shipping new boxed appliances in quantity, as they may be treated as goods.

It is best to carry medicines, gold and important documents with you and ship the rest with an accurate list, which is what lets clearance pass in hours.

GCC-origin goods and the customs exemption

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter Qatar free of customs duties when accompanied by a valid certificate of origin. Goods of foreign origin are treated under the customs union rules and may attract duties or applicable taxes depending on their situation. So we ask traders for the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list before loading.

Documents required for shipping to Qatar

• A copy of the sender’s ID or iqama and passport.
• A copy of the receiver’s passport and Qatar ID.
• A numbered packing list.
• For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list.
• For cars: the export certificate from the traffic department and the purchase invoice.
• An authorisation for the clearing company in Qatar.

Clearance at the crossing

At Salwa the export papers are stamped; at Abu Samra the contents are checked against the list. The queue sometimes grows before holidays and breaks, and we tell you when you book.

Protecting your belongings on the road

Good packing prevents most damage, and insurance covers what packing cannot. We offer it as a percentage of the shipment’s value and the choice is yours; either way, we photograph the important pieces before the truck is closed.

What cannot be shipped to Qatar

• Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
• Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
• Narcotics and restricted medicines without a prescription and permission.
• Seeds and plants without agricultural permits.
• Counterfeit goods and anything banned under either country’s rules.
• Loose lithium batteries by air.
