Office and company moves from the Eastern Province to the UAE

Oil, gas and contracting companies in the Eastern Province have projects and branches in the UAE, 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 the UAE 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 the UAE 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 Ghuwaifat checks the contents against it.

Car shipping from Dammam to the UAE

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.

Registering an imported car in the UAE has conditions, usually chiefly that it is no more than ten years old from its year of manufacture, passes the technical inspection, and comes with an export certificate from the traffic department in the Kingdom and proof of ownership. A car already cleared through customs in a GCC country may be exempt from UAE customs duty on proof of that; otherwise duty and VAT apply. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details 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 the UAE for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing at Al Batha with valid insurance covering the UAE and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.

Delivery in the UAE

After release the truck continues to your address in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman or elsewhere. The crew unloads, carries everything inside and reassembles the furniture, and you check the items with us before signing.

Air freight from Dammam to the UAE

Urgent parcels and documents go by air from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam to Dubai International, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah airport, 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 the UAE arrives in a few days, so land is far cheaper for furniture and appliances.

Shipping goods from the Eastern Province to the UAE

Plastic products, spare parts, equipment, building materials and consumer goods leave Dammam and Jubail for the UAE. 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 the UAE asks for

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

• A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates ID.
• A copy of a valid UAE 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 the UAE are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter the UAE 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 UAE VAT 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 the UAE

• A copy of the sender’s ID or iqama and passport.
• A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates 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 the UAE.

Clearance at the crossing

At Al Batha the export papers are stamped; at Ghuwaifat 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 the UAE

• 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.
