Clearance at King Fahd Causeway
The truck stops at King Fahd Causeway for clearance on both sides, and the load passes through an X-ray scanner, with manual inspection if requested. Because Bahrain and the Kingdom are in the GCC customs union, used furniture and personal effects usually pass without duties, while new items and commercial goods may be subject to customs duties and VAT depending on their type and value. We send the details to the broker before the truck reaches the crossing, which shortens the wait.
Cargo insurance
The distance to Bahrain is relatively short, but the load is lifted, set down and inspected at the crossing. So we offer insurance as a percentage of the declared value, and recommend it for expensive appliances, cars and antiques, photographing your belongings before loading to document their condition.
Prohibited and restricted items
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
- Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
- Medicines in large quantities or without a prescription.
- Fresh food and meat without their health requirements.
