JORDAN – SAUDI ARABIA TRADE LANE NEW PAGE

Jordan to Saudi Arabia Freight: Road and the Short Aqaba Sea Link

Jordan borders Saudi Arabia to the north, so most cargo moves by truck through Al Haditha or Durra. The Red Sea port of Aqaba is also a short sail from Jeddah. ShipVerge books road and sea freight from Jordan, clears it at the border or port and delivers across the Kingdom.

What we ship from Jordan

Pharmaceuticals Fresh produce and food Fertilisers and phosphates Garments Chemicals Building materials

Jordan lane compliance notes

1

Pharmaceuticals. Jordanian medicines need SFDA registration before import, and many need temperature control on the truck.

2

Fresh produce. Fruit and vegetables need phytosanitary certificates and MEWA clearance at the border.

3

Certificate of origin. Ask for a Jordanian chamber certificate of origin; Arab free-trade rules may reduce duty on qualifying goods.

How the Jordan lane works

1

Get a rate

Send the origin city, commodity, weight or volume and your Saudi hub. We quote within one working day.

2

We book and collect

We book space and arrange pickup from your supplier, or receive the cargo at the port under FOB.

3

We clear it in KSA

Our clearance team files through FASAH and handles SABER and SFDA checks before arrival.

4

We deliver to your door

Released cargo moves straight into our domestic LTL and FTL network to your warehouse.

Before you ship: documents, SABER and duty

Documents you need

  • Commercial invoice with HS codes, values, Incoterm and country of origin
  • Packing list matching the invoice line for line
  • Certificate of origin from the origin chamber of commerce
  • Bill of lading or air waybill, issued by us or the carrier
  • SABER and SFDA certificates or permits, where required
  • Importer details: CR, VAT number and customs importer code

Mismatched details are the most common cause of clearance delays. We check the full set before your cargo ships.

SABER, SFDA and restricted goods

Most regulated products need a Product Certificate (PCoC) and a Shipment Certificate (SCoC) on SABER. The SCoC must be issued before the customs declaration is filed, or cargo cannot clear.

Food, cosmetics, medical devices and pharmaceuticals need SFDA registration or a release permit. Alcohol, pork products and narcotics cannot be imported.

Send us your HS code and we'll check →

Duty and VAT

Customs duty is charged on the CIF value. Most goods attract 5%, some are duty-free and some carry higher rates. VAT of 15% is then charged on CIF plus duty.

We confirm the exact duty rate for your HS code with your quote, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Which Incoterm?

FOB (recommended): your supplier loads the vessel; we handle everything after. You control cost and timing.

EXW: we collect from the factory. Best when the supplier has no export experience.

CIF / CFR: the supplier books freight. Cheaper upfront, less control, higher destination charges.

DAP / DDP: delivered to your door. DAP quoted as standard; DDP case by case.

Jordan lane FAQ

How long does trucking from Amman to Riyadh take?

Typically 7–12 days door to door, including border clearance at Al Haditha.

Is sea freight from Aqaba worth it?

For full containers heading to the western region, Aqaba to Jeddah is a short, cost-effective sea leg.

Can you move refrigerated cargo from Jordan?

Yes, in reefer trucks with SFDA and MEWA documents checked before loading.
