Market notice. Indicative market ranges, October 2026, in USD, excluding border fees and local charges. Road demand via Batha is high while Gulf ports are disrupted by the Strait of Hormuz situation, so book trucks early. Border queues can add time at peak periods.
GCC origin and duty. GCC-origin goods with a valid GCC certificate of origin generally move duty-free. Non-GCC goods re-exported from the UAE may still attract Saudi duty; we confirm before booking.
Free zone exit. Free zone cargo (JAFZA and others) needs the correct exit documents from the free zone authority.
Transit declaration. Road shipments need a transit declaration and a Saudi-registered or GCC-licensed truck. We arrange both.
Send the origin city, commodity, weight or volume and your Saudi hub. We quote within one working day.
We book space and arrange pickup from your supplier, or receive the cargo at the port under FOB.
Our clearance team files through FASAH and handles SABER and SFDA checks before arrival.
Released cargo moves straight into our domestic LTL and FTL network to your warehouse.
Mismatched details are the most common cause of clearance delays. We check the full set before your cargo ships.
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 →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.
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.
Typically 7–12 days door to door, including border clearance at Batha.
GCC-origin goods with a GCC certificate of origin are usually duty-free. Goods made outside the GCC may be charged duty. Send us the invoice and we'll confirm.
