Qassim dates to Qatar

Qassim Sukkari is in demand in Qatari markets; traders send it by the tonne after the harvest and before Ramadan, and families send it as gifts. We ship it in sealed cartons on pallets, on a refrigerated truck for large quantities as the Salwa road is hot, with the invoice, GCC certificate of origin and a health certificate if requested.

Qassim also sends the homes of Qatari families who lived there for work or study, usually full homes.

Packing furniture in Qassim

Qassim homes are mostly villas and family houses with large majlis rooms and spacious kitchens:

• 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 and coffee pots 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 for a long road.

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

A few items go on the shared truck with a mark and a number for each customer.

Car shipping from Qassim to Qatar

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.

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 Qassim to Qatar

Air freight from Qassim to Qatar goes via King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, where we take the parcel by road the same day to Hamad International Airport in Doha, and usually takes one to two working days.

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. 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 Qatar

Besides dates, Qassim traders send packaged dairy, animal feed and consumer goods to Qatar. We stack them on pallets, prepare their GCC papers and ship on a regular or refrigerated 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.

Will duties be charged on your belongings in Qatar?

Used household belongings are not usually treated like commercial goods, but customs assesses each shipment on its own and asks for proof that the contents are personal and that you are a national or resident of Qatar. The main papers:

• 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.

We tell you plainly what may delay a shipment: medicines, new appliances in quantity, and a vague packing list. We arrange their papers before the road.

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.

What happens at the border?

We send copies of the papers to the broker before the truck arrives, so preparation starts before it joins the queue. Salwa is one of the busiest truck crossings, so we book the departure to avoid the peak as far as possible.

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 the items’ condition with photos during packing.

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.
