Shipping to Qatar from the first line:

• Land: the main route for furniture and goods, on a shared or private truck.
• Crossing: Salwa in the Kingdom, facing Abu Samra in Qatar.
• Air: for documents and urgent parcels in one to two days.
• GCC-origin goods: duty-free with a valid certificate of origin.
• Cars: on an enclosed carrier a light vehicle must be five years old or less.

The shipment’s route from Saudi Arabia to Qatar

Stage	Details	Approx. time
Collection and packing	At your home in any Saudi city	One day
The road to Salwa	From about 150 km from Al Ahsa to about 1,450 km from Jeddah	Hours to two days
Crossing and clearance	Salwa, then Abu Samra	Hours
Abu Samra → your address	Doha, Al Rayyan and the other municipalities	Hours

Qatar is a close land neighbour, so land remains the route for most furniture and goods: the truck is loaded at your door and unloaded at your door. We only use sea to Hamad Port for large goods containers, and air for urgent, light items.

Which crossing does your shipment from Saudi Arabia use?

Saudi → Qatari crossing	Location	Beyond it
Salwa → Abu Samra	South-east of Al Ahsa, on Qatar’s only land border	The highway north to Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and the other municipalities

Salwa is the only land crossing between the Kingdom and Qatar, leading to Abu Samra and then the highway to Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and the other municipalities. Because it is one of the busiest truck crossings, we send the papers to the broker in advance so the truck does not wait long.

Shipping to Qatar by your region in the Kingdom

Collection region	Approx. distance to Doha	Approx. time
Al Ahsa	About 300 km	Same day to one working day
Dammam, Khobar and Jubail	About 400 km	One to two working days
Riyadh and Al Kharj	About 600 km	One to two working days
Qassim and Hail	About 900 km	Two to three working days
Madinah	About 1,450 km	Three to four working days
Jeddah and Taif	About 1,550 km	Three to four working days
Makkah	About 1,500 km	Three to four working days

The closer your city is to the Salwa crossing, the shorter the time and the lower the cost, and Al Ahsa is the closest of all.

Shipping prices from Saudi Arabia to Qatar

Shipment	Method	Price
Parcels and personal luggage	Land – shared truck	From SAR 41 per kg
Bedroom set with dismantling, packing and reassembly	Land – shared truck	From SAR 1,650

SUV	Car carrier	From SAR 2,940

What do we ship from Saudi Arabia to Qatar?

We ship anything allowed into Qatar, and the most requested are:

• Complete household furniture: bedrooms, majlis seating, kitchens and appliances, with dismantling and reassembly.
• Offices and companies: computers, files and office furniture.
• Personal belongings: clothes, books and toys in numbered cartons.
• Commercial goods: by the pallet or the full truck, with a certificate of origin.
• Dates, food and medicines: in regular or refrigerated trucks.
• Online-store products: with their invoices.
• Cars and motorcycles: on enclosed carriers.
• Parcels and documents: by land on the shared truck, or by air.

If you are moving a whole home, the guide to moving furniture from Riyadh to Qatar covers every stage from survey to reassembly.

Packing furniture in Saudi Arabia

The road to Qatar spends long hours in the desert, so we pack for a long journey, not a move across town:

• Sofas and majlis seating: plastic, then moving blankets.
• Wardrobes and beds: dismantled, with screws numbered in bags.
• Fridges and washing machines: emptied, dried, doors secured.
• Screens: boxes lined with foam.
• Glass, mirrors and antiques: protective frames or wooden crates.
• Dishes: each piece wrapped on its own in divided cartons.

Loading in Saudi Arabia and the truck type

We build the load in layers: heavy at the bottom, fragile on top, gaps filled and straps tight, and the truck is closed after the load is checked against the packing list.

Truck type	Best for	How it is priced
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
Enclosed car carrier	One or more cars	Per car, by size

A shared truck is cheaper for anyone with few items, a private truck is faster and loaded in a single day, and a refrigerated truck is for dates, food and sensitive medicines.

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Qatar

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

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 Saudi Arabia to Qatar

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Qatar goes from the airports of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah 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 commercial goods to Qatar

For traders and companies we ship food, dates, personal-care products, appliances, spare parts, building materials and online-store products from the Kingdom to Qatar. We stack the goods on wrapped pallets, prepare the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list, and ship on a shared, full or refrigerated truck.

Delivery across every municipality of Qatar

We deliver to Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Daayen, Lusail, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, Umm Salal, Al Shamal and Al Shahaniya, to homes, flats, towers, offices and warehouses. The crew unloads the furniture, carries it inside using the freight lift in towers, and reassembles it if that is part of the agreement, and you check the items against the packing list with us before signing.

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.

Tips before shipping to Qatar

• Have the receiver’s Qatar ID copies ready before loading.
• Do not ship new boxed appliances in quantity with household furniture, as they may be treated as goods.
• Carry medicines, gold and important documents with you.
• Check the import conditions for your car in Qatar before you ship it.
• Book the freight lift if you will live in a tower in West Bay or Lusail.
• Empty and dry the fridge and washing machine the day before loading.
