The shipment’s route from Riyadh to Kuwait

Stage	Details	Approx. time
Collection and packing	At your home in Riyadh, with dismantling and inventory	One day
Riyadh → Al Raqai	About 600 km on the Hafar Al Batin road	About one day
Crossing and clearance	Al Raqai, then Al Salmi	Hours
Al Salmi → your address	Jahra, then the Capital and the other governorates	Hours

Riyadh is one of the cities our trucks leave for Kuwait from most often, so there are several trips a week, and a few items do not wait long for a shared truck to fill. A full home can move the day after packing if its papers are ready.

Which crossing does your shipment from Riyadh use?

Saudi → Kuwaiti crossing	Location	Usually used by shipments from	Closest to
Al Khafji → Al Nuwaiseeb	On the coast north of the Eastern Province	Dammam, Khobar, Jubail and Al Ahsa	Ahmadi, Fahaheel and Mangaf, then the Capital and Hawalli
Al Raqai → Al Salmi	North of Hafar Al Batin	Riyadh, Qassim, Hail and the Western Region	Jahra and Farwaniya, then the Capital

From Riyadh we mostly use Al Raqai, which sits at the end of the Hafar Al Batin road and leads to Al Salmi and then Jahra. If the address is in Ahmadi or Fahaheel and Khafji is less busy that day, we route the truck there.

Who ships from Riyadh to Kuwait?

Most of our customers on this route are families moving with their work between the two countries, Kuwaiti students who have finished their studies at Riyadh universities, and staff of companies with branches in both. Some also buy furniture or appliances from Riyadh showrooms and send them to their home in Kuwait. Each case has its own approach: a family needs a private truck and a single loading day, a student is well served by a shared truck, and a buyer needs the showroom invoice with the shipment.

The relatively short distance means about two days separate your home in Riyadh from your home in Kuwait, so we time the loading so your belongings arrive on a day you are there to receive them.

Packing furniture in Riyadh

Riyadh homes are mostly villas and spacious flats with large majlis rooms and many bedrooms. We prepare the right packing for each piece and number it on the packing list:

Majlis seating and sofas in plastic, then moving blankets, with cushions in separate bags.
Bedrooms and wardrobes dismantled, with each piece’s screws in a numbered bag.
Large screens in padded boxes.
Fitted kitchens dismantled unit by unit if you are taking them.
Fridges and washing machines emptied and dried a day before.

Loading in Riyadh and the truck type

At villas the truck stops at your door and is loaded in front of you; in apartment buildings we use the lift or an external hoist. We build the load in layers, heavy at the bottom and fragile on top, and strap it down.

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

If you have only a few items, they go on the shared truck with your own colour mark and number, so nothing gets mixed up at unloading.

Car shipping from Riyadh to Kuwait

We collect your car from your home in Riyadh, photograph it from every side, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it with straps and chocks.

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 Jahra, the Capital, Hawalli, Farwaniya or elsewhere. The crew unloads the furniture, carries it inside and reassembles bedrooms and wardrobes if that is part of the agreement, and then you check the items against the packing list with us.

Air freight from Riyadh to Kuwait

For parcels and documents that cannot wait, we send them by air from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh 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 Riyadh to Kuwait

For Riyadh traders and companies we ship packaged food, dates, cosmetics, appliances, spare parts and online-store products to Kuwait. We stack the goods on wrapped pallets, prepare the invoice, GCC certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared or full truck, refrigerated for sensitive items.

Riyadh districts we collect from

Al Malqa, Al Narjis, Al Yasmin, Al Arid, Al Sahafa and Hittin in the north; Al Olaya, Al Sulimaniyah, Al Malaz and Al Wurud in the centre; Al Rawdah, Al Naseem, Al Rayyan, Al Sulay and Al Nadhim in the east; Al Suwaidi, Dhahrat Laban, Tuwaiq and Laban in the west; Al Aziziyah, Al Shifa, Al Hazm and Al Dar Al Baida in the south; plus Al Kharj, Diriyah and Al Muzahmiyah.

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.
