Qassim dates to the UAE
Qassim Sukkari is in demand in Emirati 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 Al Batha road is hot, with the invoice, GCC certificate of origin and a health certificate if requested.
Qassim also sends the homes of Emirati 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

A few items go on the shared truck with a mark and a number for each customer.
Car shipping from Qassim to the UAE
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.

Registering an imported car in the UAE has conditions, usually chiefly that it is no more than ten years old from its year of manufacture, passes the technical inspection, and comes with an export certificate from the traffic department in the Kingdom and proof of ownership. A car already cleared through customs in a GCC country may be exempt from UAE customs duty on proof of that; otherwise duty and VAT apply. These conditions can change, so we review your car’s details 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 the UAE for a visit and bring it back, that is an ordinary crossing at Al Batha with valid insurance covering the UAE and the car’s papers, and needs no shipping.
Air freight from Qassim to the UAE
Air freight from Qassim to the UAE goes via King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, where we take the parcel by road the same day to the airports of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, 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.

Will duties be charged on your belongings in the UAE?
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 the UAE. The main papers:
- A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates ID.
- A copy of a valid UAE 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 the UAE are members of the GCC customs union, and goods of GCC national origin enter the UAE 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 UAE VAT 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 the UAE
- A copy of the sender’s ID or iqama and passport.
- A copy of the receiver’s passport and Emirates 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 the UAE.
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. Al Batha 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 the UAE
