Qatari students and families in Madinah

Madinah has Qatari students at the Islamic University and Taibah University, and families who live there for years. At graduation or on return, the shipment is usually books, personal belongings and medium-sized furniture. Books are heavier than they look, so we put them in small reinforced cartons and write each carton’s number and contents on it.

For a small shipment, the shared truck saves a great deal compared with a private one on a road this long.

Packing furniture in Madinah

We prepare the right packing for each kind of item in your home:

• Books in small reinforced cartons, sorted and numbered.
• Copies of the Quran and valuable books wrapped one by one.
• Wardrobes and beds dismantled, with screws numbered.
• Appliances in double-wall cartons, screens in padded boxes.
• Dishes wrapped piece by piece.

Loading in Madinah and the truck type

We load the truck at your door, or move a few items to our warehouse for the shared truck. Heavy cartons such as books go at the bottom and fragile items on top.

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 strapped and the truck closed, and we send you a photo of it before it sets off.

Car shipping from Madinah to Qatar

We collect your car from your home in Madinah, 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.

Air freight from Madinah to Qatar

Urgent parcels and documents go by air from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah, or via Jeddah or Riyadh depending on the next cargo flight 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 Madinah to Qatar

Madinah Ajwa and other dates, perfumes, gifts and packaged food are among the most common shipments from Madinah to Qatar. We pack them in sealed cartons, prepare the GCC certificate of origin and ship them on the shared truck or a full truck.

Madinah districts we collect from

Al Aziziyah, Al Awali, Quba, Al Anabis, Sayed Al Shuhada, Al Khalidiyah, Al Uraid, Al Iskan, King Fahd, Al Difa, Al Jurf, East Harrah, West Harrah and Shuran, as well as Yanbu, Badr and AlUla.

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.
