Transit time and delivery areas in Kuwait

Shipping from Makkah during the seasons

Makkah is crowded during Hajj and Ramadan, and truck movement is restricted on some roads and in districts near the Haram at those times. So we fix the loading date with you days ahead, or move your belongings in a smaller vehicle to a truck waiting outside the busy area.

Some of our customers in Makkah are Kuwaiti families who stay for years to live near the Haram or to work, and on their return it is usually a full home, so we prepare a private truck.

Packing furniture in Makkah

Makkah homes usually have serving sets, chandeliers and majlis seating, which need packing for a long road:

Chandeliers taken apart, with each crystal piece wrapped on its own in a dedicated box.
Serving sets, cups and coffee pots in divided cartons.
Majlis seating and sofas in plastic, then blankets.
Wardrobes and beds dismantled, with screws numbered.
Mirrors and paintings in protective frames.

Loading in Makkah and the truck type

In Makkah’s many-storey buildings we use an external hoist for large pieces. The truck is then loaded: heavy at the bottom, fragile on top, straps tight.

Truck type	Best for	How it is priced
Shared truck	Cartons, one or two rooms, a few appliances	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 and sensitive food	Per pallet or per trip
Enclosed car carrier	One or more cars	Per car, by size

A few items are moved to our Jeddah warehouse to be loaded onto the shared truck heading east.

Car shipping from Makkah to Kuwait

We collect the car from your home in Makkah, clean, photograph and cover it with a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier.

Kuwait has conditions for importing used cars, usually chiefly that a passenger car is no more than five years old, and that it is imported in the name of a Kuwaiti national or through a sponsoring entity for non-Kuwaitis, with customs duty charged as a percentage of the value set by the customs inspector. These conditions can change, so we send your car’s details to the broker in Kuwait before booking and tell you what applies to it. 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 Kuwait for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing with valid GCC insurance and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.

Delivery in Kuwait

After release at Al Salmi the truck continues to your address, in the Capital, Hawalli, Jahra, Farwaniya or Ahmadi. The crew unloads the furniture, carries it inside and reassembles bedrooms and chandeliers if that is part of the agreement.

Air freight from Makkah to Kuwait

For parcels and documents that cannot wait, we send them by air via King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Kuwait International 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. Because Kuwait is close by road, the time difference between air and land is usually small, and land is far cheaper for furniture and appliances.

Shipping goods from Makkah to Kuwait

From Makkah we ship gifts, rugs, perfumes, dates and bottled Zamzam water within permitted quantities to Kuwait, as well as commercial goods with their papers. We stack them on pallets, prepare the invoice and certificate of origin, and ship on a shared or full truck.

Makkah districts we collect from

Al Aziziyah, Al Shawqiyah, Al Naseem, Al Zahir, Al Awali, Al Rusaifah, Al Kakiyah, Al Sharaie, Al Nawariyah, Al Hamra, Al Utaibiyah, Jarwal, Al Hijrah and Bat-ha Quraish, as well as Al Jumum, Bahrah and Al Kamil.

Kuwaiti customs and used furniture

Used furniture and personal belongings for private use are usually treated as personal effects, handled by the broker at the Kuwaiti crossing according to customs’ assessment of each shipment. What matters is that the papers are complete and match the load:

A copy of the receiver’s passport and Kuwaiti civil ID.
A copy of a valid Kuwaiti residence for non-Kuwaitis.
A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
The receiver present, or an official authorisation for the broker.
Avoid shipping new boxed appliances in quantity, as they may be treated as goods.

Some items go through extra review, such as books and films, and medicines that need Ministry of Health permission. We tell you before packing so you can decide what to ship and what to carry with you.

GCC-origin goods and the customs exemption

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter Kuwait free of customs duties when accompanied by a valid certificate of origin. Goods of foreign origin already cleared in the Kingdom are treated under the customs union rules and may attract duties in Kuwait 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 Kuwait

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

Crossing and clearance at the border

The truck leaves the Saudi crossing once the export papers are stamped, then enters the Kuwaiti crossing, where the broker files the customs declaration and the load is checked against the packing list. When the papers have been sent ahead, this usually takes hours.

Cargo insurance

The road to Kuwait is shorter than most land destinations, but heat and vibration are still there. 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.

What cannot be shipped to Kuwait

Alcoholic drinks and pork products.
Weapons and ammunition, including antique ones.
Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
Medicines in quantity or without a prescription and Ministry of Health permission.
Walkie-talkies and anything banned under either country’s rules.
Loose lithium batteries by air.
