Loading in Riyadh
The truck stops at the villa door and the furniture is loaded in an order that stops it shifting; in apartment buildings we use the lift or an external hoist. Each layer is strapped before setting off.

Car shipping from Riyadh to Bahrain
We prepare the car, fit a protective cover, load it onto a car carrier or enclosed carrier and strap it down, and it reaches Bahrain in about a day.

The papers: a valid registration, an export certificate or Absher authorisation, a bank no-objection letter if financed, and copies of the owner’s and receiver’s IDs. For final export, customs duties may be due in Bahrain depending on the car’s value and origin.
Air freight from Riyadh to Bahrain

Delivery in Bahrain
We deliver to Manama, Muharraq, Riffa, Hamad Town, Isa Town, Sitra, Budaiya and Amwaj Islands, and reassemble the furniture if it’s part of the agreement.
The papers we need from you
- A copy of the sender’s national ID or iqama, and the receiver’s CPR smart card or passport in Bahrain.
- A detailed packing list, which we prepare during packing.
- An electronic authorisation for the customs broker through the Fasah platform.
- For commercial goods: commercial registration, invoice, certificate of origin and conformity certificates if required.
- For cars: the registration, the export certificate or Absher authorisation, and a bank no-objection letter if the car is financed.
Customs on the causeway and in Bahrain
The truck stops at King Fahd Causeway for clearance on both sides, and the load passes through an X-ray scanner, with manual inspection if requested. Because Bahrain and the Kingdom are in the GCC customs union, used furniture and personal effects usually pass without duties, while new items and commercial goods may be subject to customs duties and VAT depending on their type and value. We send the details to the broker before the truck reaches the crossing, which shortens the wait.
Do you need insurance?
If your shipment includes a car, electronics or valuable pieces, insurance is worth its small cost. It’s calculated as a percentage of the value you declare, and we document your belongings’ condition with photos during packing, so there’s no dispute about how they looked before shipping.
Prohibited and restricted items
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
