Land freight to Lebanon: how the truck travels
The land route is the natural link between the Kingdom and Lebanon, and most furniture and goods shipments rely on it. Because the truck crosses three borders, what matters isn’t driving speed but having complete papers at every crossing:
- Collection and loading: in your city, or at the consolidation warehouse for a shared truck.
- Leaving the Kingdom: through Al Haditha crossing in the north, with the export declaration.
- Transit through Jordan: from Al Omari to Jaber crossing, with transit papers.
- Transit through Syria: from Nasib to Jdeidet Yabous.
- Entering Lebanon: at Masnaa crossing, where customs clearance takes place.
- Delivery: to your address in Beirut or any Lebanese region.
The truck is closed and sealed from the departure country, so the load is only opened for official inspection along the way. If land transit conditions change at any time, we switch the shipment to sea via Beirut port without starting over.

What changes the price of shipping to Lebanon?
- Volume: in a shared truck you pay for the space your belongings take.
- Shared or full truck: a full house is usually better value in a private truck.
- Collection city: northern Saudi cities are closer to Al Haditha than southern and eastern ones.
- Delivery area in Lebanon: Beirut and Mount Lebanon are closer than the far north and south.
- Type of items: commercial goods have duties and papers that differ from personal effects.
Shipping furniture and personal effects to Lebanon
A Lebanese family returning from the Kingdom usually ships a whole home after years of residence. We start with an inspection, then prepare the packing for each piece according to its nature:

- Wardrobes and beds are dismantled, with screws kept in numbered bags.
- Sofas and mattresses go into plastic, then moving blankets.
- Appliances go into double-wall cartons; the fridge and washer are emptied and dried a day before.
- Glass, mirrors and paintings go into wooden crates.
- Every carton has a number matching a line in the inventory customs ask for.
The truck covers thousands of kilometres by road, so vibration is a greater danger than the sea. That’s why we secure the load with straps and separators between pieces, and leave no gaps for items to shift.
Customs exemption for people returning to Lebanon
A Lebanese citizen moving their residence permanently from the Kingdom to Lebanon may be eligible for a customs exemption on used personal and household effects, under conditions usually applied as follows:
- A residence transfer certificate attested by the Lebanese embassy in Riyadh or the consulate in Jeddah.
- Proof of residence in Lebanon, such as a title deed or rental contract.
- The items must have been personally used for a sufficient time, not new in their cartons.
- The shipment must arrive within a set period of the return date.
These conditions may be amended, so we confirm them for your case with the broker in Lebanon before loading.
Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon
We ship the car by land inside an enclosed car carrier, or inside a container mounted on a truck, covered with a protective cover and secured with straps and chocks, so it’s shielded from dust and gravel all the way. By sea it travels inside a container to Beirut port.

- A valid registration in the shipper’s name, with no fines or liens.
- A vehicle export request through Absher or the traffic department, with the Saudi plates handed in.
- Copies of the owner’s and receiver’s passports and iqama.
- The transit papers required by the crossings along the route.
- Confirmation of Lebanon’s rules on imported cars, such as age and type, and the duties due before shipping.
Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon
From the airports of Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, within two to four working days. It suits documents, permitted medicines with their prescription, small devices, gifts and what you need as soon as you arrive, before the truck.

It’s charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight.
Shipping commercial goods to Lebanon
A trader sending goods to Lebanon needs an attested commercial invoice, a certificate of origin, a detailed packing list, and sometimes health or conformity certificates. We stack the goods on wrapped pallets, ship them in a shared truck for small quantities or a full truck for large ones, and send the papers to the broker before the truck reaches Masnaa.
Documents required
- Copies of the sender’s and receiver’s passports, plus the iqama for residents of the Kingdom.
- A numbered inventory in Arabic.
- A residence transfer certificate and proof of residence in Lebanon for those seeking exemption.
- A commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list for goods.
- Car export papers if any.
Cargo insurance
The land route is long and crosses more than one country, so we offer cargo insurance as a percentage of the declared value, and recommend it for cars, expensive appliances and furniture that is hard to replace. We photograph your belongings before loading to document their condition.
Prohibited and restricted items
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders and fuel.
- Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
- Medicines in commercial quantities or without a prescription.
- Fresh food, meat and plants.
- Loose lithium batteries by air.
