Why shipping from Qassim to Jordan is shorter:
- The distance from Qassim to Al Haditha is shorter than from Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam.
- Trucks heading out of Riyadh pass through Qassim, so departures are frequent.
- A full home on a private truck, a few items on a shared one.
- Dates, cars and goods with their papers.
The shipment’s route from Qassim to Jordan
| Stage | Details | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and packing | At your home in Buraidah, Unaizah or Ar Rass | One day |
| Qassim → Al Haditha | About 900 km via Hail, Al Jouf and Al Qurayyat | About one day |
| Crossing and clearance | Al Haditha, then Al Omari | Hours to a day |
| Al Omari → your address | Amman and Zarqa, then the other governorates | One day |
Because Qassim is on the way, your shipment does not have to go south to Riyadh and back north. It is loaded in Buraidah or Unaizah and leaves directly, or joins a shared truck coming from Riyadh.
Which crossing does your shipment from Qassim use?
| Saudi → Jordanian crossing | Area | Usually used by shipments from | Closest to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Haditha → Al Omari | Al Qurayyat, Al Jouf | Riyadh, Qassim, the Eastern Province and Hail | Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq and Irbid |
| Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | Tabuk | Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Tabuk | Maan, Aqaba, Karak and Tafilah, then Amman on the Desert Highway |
Al Haditha is the crossing for Qassim shipments, at the end of the northern road through Hail and Al Jouf, leading directly to Amman, Zarqa and Mafraq.

The time runs from loading in Qassim to delivery at your door, one of the shortest of any Saudi region to Jordan.
Qassim dates and commercial shipments
Qassim is one of the Kingdom’s largest date-growing regions, and Qassim Sukkari is in demand in Jordan. Traders send it in quantity and families as gifts. We stack it in sealed cartons on pallets, prepare the invoice, certificate of origin and health certificate if requested, and in summer recommend a refrigerated truck for large quantities.
Qassim also sends the homes of Jordanian families working in Buraidah and Unaizah in education, health and agriculture, usually full homes that need a private truck.
Packing furniture in Qassim

Qassim homes are mostly villas and family houses with large majlis rooms and spacious kitchens. We pack each piece the way it needs:
- Majlis seating and sofas in plastic and blankets, rugs rolled and tied.
- Bedrooms dismantled, with each piece’s screws in a numbered bag.
- Large kitchen appliances emptied with doors secured.
- Dishes, coffee pots and cups in divided cartons.
- Screens in padded boxes.
Loading in Qassim and the truck type
The truck comes to your door and is loaded in front of you, heavy at the bottom and fragile on top, with the load strapped down to the end of the road.

| Truck type | Best for | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Shared truck | One or two rooms, cartons, 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 m closed trailer | A villa or large home, or furniture with goods | One price for the whole trip |
| Car carrier | One or more cars | Per car, by size |
If you have only a few items, they are loaded onto a shared truck passing through Qassim from Riyadh, with a mark and a number for each customer.
Car shipping from Qassim to Jordan
We collect the car from your home in Buraidah, Unaizah or Ar Rass, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it with straps and chocks.

Jordan sets conditions on importing used cars, the main one being the car’s age counted from its year of manufacture. These conditions are amended by government decisions from time to time, and duties differ between petrol, hybrid and electric cars and by engine size and value. So we send your car’s details to the broker in Jordan before booking and tell you what applies to it, so a car that cannot be cleared never sets off. 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 passport and iqama or ID.
If you will drive your own car to Jordan for a visit and bring it back, that is a temporary entry on a customs passbook (carnet/triptyque) and needs no shipping; a permanent move means exporting the car and shipping it on a carrier.
Air freight from Qassim to Jordan
Air freight from Qassim to Jordan goes via King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, where we take the parcel by road the same day to Queen Alia Airport in Amman, or King Hussein Airport in Aqaba for some shipments, and usually takes one to three working days.

Air suits what is light and needed quickly:
- Documents, university certificates and official papers.
- Small devices such as laptops and phones in their original boxes.
- Clothes, gifts and personal items you need as soon as you arrive.
- Spare parts and commercial samples.
The price is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so a large light carton may be charged as if it were heavy. Send us the weight and dimensions and we will work out the chargeable weight for you. Many of our customers send a suitcase of urgent things by air and leave the rest of the home to the truck.
Shipping goods from Qassim to Jordan
Besides dates, Qassim traders send packaged dairy products, building materials, consumer goods and spare parts to Jordan. We stack them on pallets, prepare their commercial papers and ship on a shared or full truck.
Cities we collect from in Qassim
Buraidah and districts such as Al Rayyan, Al Iskan, Al Safra, Al Nahdah and Al Khaleej; Unaizah; Ar Rass; Al Bukairiyah; Al Badai; Al Mithnab; Al Shimasiyah; Uyun Al Jiwa; Al Asyah; Al Nabhaniyah; and Riyadh Al Khabra.
Permanent return to Jordan and the customs exemption
If you are a Jordanian returning for good after years in the Kingdom, your household furniture may enter Jordan without customs duties, under conditions set by the Jordan Customs Department, including:
- You have lived outside Jordan for a year or more.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended: a cancelled iqama, the end of your work contract or a resignation, a new work contract in Jordan, a certified lease or title deed for a home, or your children’s transfer to Jordanian schools.
- The owner attends in person or by official authorisation, and the husband or wife has arrived in Jordan.
- An original packing list of the furniture, appliances and items.
- The exemption is granted once; anyone who used it and then went back to live abroad cannot get a new one until five years have passed.
- Any furniture that follows later must arrive within six months of your arrival date.
Because the six-month window starts on the day you arrive, we advise shipping the home a few days before you travel or straight after, not putting it off. We write the packing list carefully, as any mismatch between it and the load delays release.
Documents required for shipping to Jordan
- A copy of the sender’s passport and iqama or ID, and a copy of the receiver’s ID in Jordan.
- A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended, for permanent returnees.
- An authorisation for the clearing company in Jordan.
- For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list.
- For cars: export papers from the traffic department and the purchase invoice.
What happens at the border?
At the Saudi crossing the export papers are stamped; at the Jordanian crossing the broker takes the file: the packing list, proof that your residence has ended if you are returning, and the car papers if any. The load is then checked and released to continue to your address.
Items outside the exemption, such as commercial goods and new appliances in quantity, are subject to customs duties and Jordanian sales tax, and we explain that before loading, not after.
Do you need insurance?
If your shipment includes a car, expensive appliances or furniture that is hard to replace, insurance is worth its small cost. It is calculated as a percentage of the declared value, and we document every item’s condition with photos during packing, so you have a record to refer to.
What cannot be shipped to Jordan
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders, fuel and paints.
- Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
- Medicines in commercial quantities or without a prescription.
- Fresh food, meat, plants and soil.
- Loose lithium batteries by air.
- Counterfeit goods or anything banned under either country’s rules.
