This page is the complete guide for anyone shipping from a Saudi city to Jordan: an employee heading home with the family at the end of a contract, a trader supplying a shop in Amman, a student sending belongings, or a household moving a car. It brings together prices, transit times, border crossings, paperwork and restricted items, and every section opens with the direct answer before the details you need to book.
Shipping Prices from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan starts from SAR 2,480 for a complete single bedroom, SAR 6,900 for a two-bedroom apartment, SAR 2,300 for a small car and SAR 92 per carton in groupage. The table shows the starting point for each service; furniture prices include dismantling, packing, loading, transport and delivery inside the destination city unless stated otherwise.
Here are the starting prices for the most common requests on this route:
| Service | Details | Starts from (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Single bedroom | About 6–9 m³ with dismantling, packing and reassembly | 2,480 |
| Master bedroom | About 10–14 m³ including large wardrobes | 3,770 |
| Studio or room plus living room | About 8–12 m³ | 3,260 |
| Two-bedroom apartment | About 16–24 m³ | 6,900 |
| Three-bedroom apartment | About 25–38 m³ | 11,180 |
| Medium villa | About 40–60 m³ | 18,080 |
| Large villa | About 65–95 m³ | 28,750 |
| Four-door wardrobe | Single item in groupage | 1,150 |
| Arabic majlis, 9 pieces | Foam and film wrapping | 2,300 |
| Fridge or washing machine | Doors and drum secured before loading | 550 |
| Split AC unit | Both units, gas recovered, copper ends capped | 460 |
| Standard carton | About 0.1 m³ in groupage | 92 |
| Small car | Closed carrier from Riyadh or Jeddah | 2,300 |
| Air freight parcels | By actual or volumetric weight | Ask for the price by phone or WhatsApp |
| Full-truck commercial cargo | Depends on goods and weight | Ask for the price by phone or WhatsApp |
The final price is set after a survey or after you send photos and a video of your items, because volume in cubic metres is the main factor, followed by the pickup city in the Kingdom, the delivery city in Jordan, the floor, lift access and how far the truck can park from your door. Heavy pieces such as steel safes, marble tops and large glass tables need special packing or a wooden crate, which is priced separately and confirmed before loading.
Clearance fees in Jordan and any tax on new goods are not part of the transport price, as they depend on the type of shipment and the owner’s status. Used furniture belonging to a family returning for good usually enters with an exemption, while commercial goods or boxed new appliances carry duties. The paperwork section explains this in detail.
If your shipment fills less than half a truck, groupage saves a lot because you only pay for the space you use. If you are moving a whole home or have a fixed move-in date in Jordan, a dedicated truck is faster and keeps the schedule clear.
What Determines the Price of Shipping to Jordan?
Seven factors set the price of shipping to Jordan: the volume in cubic metres, the pickup city, the delivery city, the truck type (dedicated or groupage), the level of packing, access to the home at both ends, and extras such as storage and insurance. Four of these are in your hands and can bring the bill down.
- Volume: the basis of pricing, because a truck fills up by space long before it reaches its weight limit, so sorting your items before shipping is the biggest saving.
- Pickup city: shipping from Tabuk or Al Jouf is far shorter than from Jazan or Al-Ahsa, and the difference shows in fuel and driver days.
- Delivery city: Amman and Zarqa are the nearest points after the border; Irbid, Karak and Aqaba need extra delivery inside Jordan.
- Truck type: a dedicated truck leaves immediately; groupage is cheaper but waits for a full load.
- Packing: standard packing suits most furniture; wooden crates for glass, antiques and marble are priced separately.
- Access: upper floors without a lift, or narrow streets the truck cannot enter, need extra crew or a small shuttle vehicle.
- Extras: storage before shipping, insurance on the declared value, and kitchen and AC installation in Jordan.
When you send photos, we point out which of these factors will raise the price and how to avoid it. Taking large wardrobes apart instead of moving them whole reduces volume, and repacking many small boxes into sturdy medium cartons saves space and lowers the chance of loss.
How Long Does Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan Take?
Road shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan usually takes 3 to 7 days from pickup to delivery, air freight takes 2 to 4 days, and sea freight via Aqaba takes one to two weeks. The difference of a day or two comes from the distance between your city and the border, and from congestion at Al Haditha in busy seasons such as summer holidays and the end of the school year.
This table shows the usual route and approximate timing from the main pickup cities:
| Pickup city | Usual crossing | Approx. distance to Amman | Road transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riyadh | Al Haditha → Al Omari | About 1,450 km | 3–5 days |
| Qassim and Hail | Al Haditha → Al Omari | About 1,100–1,200 km | 3–5 days |
| Dammam, Khobar, Al-Ahsa | Al Haditha → Al Omari | About 1,700–1,850 km | 4–6 days |
| Jeddah and Makkah | Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | About 1,500 km | 4–6 days |
| Madinah and Yanbu | Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | About 1,100–1,250 km | 3–5 days |
| Tabuk | Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | About 450 km | 2–4 days |
| Al Jouf and Qurayyat | Al Haditha → Al Omari | About 300–550 km | 2–3 days |
| Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan | Halat Ammar via Jeddah | Over 2,000 km | 5–7 days |
Transit time is counted from loading, not from your first call, so booking early lets you choose the pickup day. At the border the shipment passes Saudi exit inspection and then Jordanian customs, which normally takes from a few hours to two days, and longer if documents are missing or the inventory does not match the load.
Which Border Crossing Will Your Shipment Use?
Shipments collected in central, eastern and northern Saudi Arabia usually cross at Al Haditha near Qurayyat into the Jordanian Al Omari centre, while loads from Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Tabuk usually cross at Halat Ammar into Al Mudawwara and on to Ma’an. There is also the Al Durra crossing on the coast between Haql and Aqaba, sometimes used for cargo going to Aqaba itself.
Choosing the crossing is not only about distance. Al Haditha is the largest land border between the two countries and handles heavy truck traffic, so it gets busier in peak seasons. Halat Ammar is closer for Hejaz and Tabuk residents and saves them the detour to the north-east. We pick the right crossing for every booking based on your city, the delivery address and that week’s traffic.
Shipping Methods from Saudi Arabia to Jordan: Road, Sea and Air
The main way to ship from Saudi Arabia to Jordan is by road in closed trucks, which is the fastest and most economical option for furniture, cars and cargo. Air freight serves parcels and urgent items, while sea freight via the Port of Aqaba suits large commercial containers coming from Jeddah Islamic Port. Each method has its place, and the choice depends on volume, urgency and what you are shipping.
For road freight we offer two options: a dedicated truck that leaves on the date you set, or groupage where the truck is shared with other loads bound for Jordan. A dedicated truck is faster and suits complete homes; groupage is cheaper for small shipments such as a single room, a few appliances or cartons of clothes and books, but it waits for the load to fill up.
Sea freight from the Kingdom to Jordan is rarely used by individuals because the land distance is relatively short and the road is good. It helps a trader importing large quantities from a factory near Jeddah port, or anyone who needs to store goods in Aqaba before distribution. We arrange it on request and show you the difference in cost and time before you decide.
To compare the three methods quickly, here is a practical summary:
| Aspect | Road | Air | Sea via Aqaba |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approx. transit | 3–7 days | 2–4 days | 1–2 weeks |
| Suits | Furniture, cars and cargo | Parcels and urgent items | Large commercial containers |
| Priced by | Cubic metre or truck | Actual or volumetric kilo | 20 ft or 40 ft container |
| Door delivery | Directly from the truck | After airport clearance | After port clearance |
In most cases customers combine two methods: furniture and the car by road, and a bag of documents and small electronics by air so it arrives before or with them. This gives you comfort in the first days in Jordan before the truck arrives, without paying air rates on heavy items you are not in a hurry for.
Air Freight from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Jordan suits parcels, documents, small electronics and urgent items, and usually arrives within 2 to 4 days from pickup to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, followed by delivery. Direct flights operate from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, so shipments avoid long transits.
Air pricing uses the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6,000. For example, a 60×50×40 cm carton weighing 9 kg has a volumetric weight of 20 kg, so it is charged as 20 kg, not 9. That is why we recommend boxes sized to their contents with little empty space inside.
Suitable for air: clothes and gifts, official papers, phones and laptops in their boxes, small spare parts and trade samples. Not accepted: large loose batteries, perfume in commercial quantities, gas and flammable materials, and unsealed liquids. Ask for the air freight price for your shipment by phone or WhatsApp, as it depends on weight and contents.
Car Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan is done by road on a closed or open carrier depending on the car’s value, starts from SAR 2,300 for a small car, and usually takes 3 to 6 days. We collect the car from your home or the showroom and follow up its exit from the Kingdom and entry into Jordan.
The first question is whether the car will enter Jordan permanently and be registered there, or be used temporarily and come back. For permanent entry you need export plates from the Saudi traffic department after clearing any violations or liens, then the car is cleared at Jordanian customs and the set fees are paid. For temporary use the owner uses a customs carnet (triptyque) and drives the car or has us ship it, and we arrange it alongside the shipment.
Jordan applies conditions to imported vehicles: electric cars older than three years, counting the clearance year, may not be imported; any car classified as salvage or written off in its country of origin after an accident, flood or fire is banned; and every car must meet the approved specifications (GCC, Saudi, European or American). These conditions set no age limit for petrol and hybrid cars, but fees vary with engine type and value.
Do not leave personal items or cartons inside the car during shipping. Customs treats the car as a separate shipment, and undeclared contents delay clearance and may attract duties.
Furniture Moving and Packing from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
Moving furniture from Saudi Arabia to Jordan includes dismantling by carpenters, layered packing suited to each piece, inventory and numbering, loading into a closed truck, and reassembly in your new home in Jordan. This is the most requested service on the route, so we have a dedicated guide, Furniture Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan, that walks through a household move step by step.
Packing is what protects furniture over a trip of more than a thousand kilometres with a customs inspection on the way, so film alone is not enough. Wood and wardrobes are wrapped in blankets and then stretch film, glass and mirrors go between rigid board or into a wooden crate, sofas and majlis seating are covered with foam and film, and appliance doors and moving parts are secured. Every carton is numbered and labelled with its room, which speeds up the border inventory and unpacking at the new home.
Air conditioners need a technician to recover the gas and cap the copper ends, and wooden kitchens are taken apart unit by unit and numbered by their position on the wall. If your home in Jordan is not ready yet, we keep the furniture in our warehouses until you set a delivery date.
Commercial Cargo and Parcels to Jordan
Commercial cargo from Saudi Arabia to Jordan moves as a full truckload (FTL) or part load (LTL) depending on quantity, and needs a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, with export formalities completed online through the FASAH platform. We carry canned food, building materials, clothing, electronics, spare parts and equipment, and arrange clearance on the Jordanian side.
For personal parcels we consolidate small cartons from several customers in one truck, so a parcel reaches any governorate at a reasonable cost. This is a common way to send clothes, gifts, student supplies and items that do not justify a full shipment. Write the recipient’s name and phone number in Jordan on each parcel and keep a short list of its contents.
Many goods of Saudi origin benefit from exemptions under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area when the correct certificate of origin is attached, which lowers duties for the Jordanian importer. We review the documents with you before loading, because a small mistake in the invoice or tariff code can hold a truck at the border.
Required Documents and Customs in Jordan
To ship from Saudi Arabia to Jordan you need a copy of the owner’s passport and iqama or ID, a detailed inventory, the recipient’s details in Jordan, the registration and export plates for a car, and the invoice and certificate of origin for commercial goods. After loading we give you a waybill to track the shipment.
A Jordanian returning to live in Jordan can apply to Jordan Customs for an exemption on personal effects and used household furniture. The main conditions are:
- Residence outside Jordan for at least one year, shown by the passport, a cancelled residence permit or an end-of-service letter.
- The owner (husband or wife) attends with the shipment or appoints a clearing agent with a formal power of attorney.
- A list of the furniture and appliances is submitted, and anything beyond the list is subject to duties.
- The exemption is usually granted once; someone who leaves again and returns can claim a new one five years after the first.
- If only part of the goods was exempted, the remainder must be claimed within six months of arrival.
Non-Jordanian residents in Jordan are treated according to their residence type, and traders pay duties according to the tariff. Because details change, we review your situation before loading and tell you what you may pay on arrival so there are no surprises.
Prohibited and Restricted Items for Jordan
Weapons and ammunition, narcotics, flammable materials, gas cylinders and hazardous chemicals cannot be shipped; large quantities of medicine, meat, plants and seeds are restricted; and cash and valuable jewellery are not accepted inside furniture loads. Please keep important documents and gold with you when you travel.
- Personal medicines are allowed in reasonable quantities with a prescription; larger amounts need approval.
- Wireless devices and drones need prior permission in Jordan.
- Opened food, liquids and oils should not travel with furniture because they spoil and stain everything around them.
- New appliances in their boxes are treated as goods and may attract duties even inside a household load.
The inventory must match what is in the truck. Any undeclared item counts as a violation at inspection and may hold the whole shipment until it is settled.
Shipment Insurance and Temporary Storage
Insurance on a shipment to Jordan is optional and covers damage from road accidents, fire and drops during transport, priced as a percentage of the value you declare. We recommend it for full homes, cars and expensive appliances, and explain what it covers and excludes before you sign.
Typical exclusions are items packed by the owner without inspection, internal faults in electrical appliances with no external sign of damage, and ordinary breakage of fragile items not packed in crates. That is why we prefer our team to handle all packing and to photograph the load before the truck is sealed, which makes any claim straightforward.
Temporary storage helps anyone leaving the Kingdom before their home in Jordan is ready, or waiting for an exemption to be processed. We receive the furniture packed and numbered, keep it in a closed warehouse and load it on the date you set, with storage charged by cubic metre and duration.
Mistakes That Hold Shipments at Al Haditha and Halat Ammar
What most often delays a shipment at the border is an inventory that does not match the actual load, followed by missing recipient documents in Jordan and restricted items hidden among the furniture. We see these six mistakes often and help you avoid them:
- Writing “assorted household items” instead of a clear list of pieces, appliances and quantities.
- Packing new boxed appliances with used furniture without declaring them, so duties apply and the load is delayed.
- Sending a car with unpaid traffic fines or an uncleared bank lien, so export plates cannot be issued.
- Forgetting the formal power of attorney for the clearing agent in Jordan when the owner is not present.
- Loading a gas cylinder, aerosols or flammable cleaning products inside cartons.
- Picking a shipping date at the height of the holidays without booking early, so the truck waits a day or more at the border.
What Will You Pay in Jordan Besides Shipping?
Besides transport you may pay customs clearance fees in Jordan, duties or taxes on non-exempt goods, and licensing fees for a car entering permanently. Used furniture of an exempt returnee usually only incurs stamp and processing fees.
A car is calculated on its own: the special tax and fees differ between petrol, hybrid and electric and depend on the car’s value and age, followed by inspection, licensing and Jordanian plates. Before shipping we send you the expected cost items we know of, and recommend checking with Jordan Customs or a Jordanian clearing agent for the exact figure for your car.
Shipping for Students and Temporary Residents in Jordan
A student at a Jordanian university, or an employee seconded for a period, does not need a full household move; a few cartons, two bags and one or two appliances are usually enough. Road groupage from SAR 92 per carton suits them, or air for what they need in the first week. If the student housing is in Irbid, Mafraq or Karak, we deliver straight to the door.
Write the student’s name, Jordanian phone number and housing address on every carton, and keep a copy of the contents list. Avoid shipping several new boxed appliances, so the parcels are not treated as goods at customs.
Cities We Deliver to in Jordan
We deliver to every Jordanian governorate. Most requests go to Amman, Zarqa and Irbid, followed by Salt, Madaba, Mafraq, Jerash, Ajloun, Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an and Aqaba. Inside Amman we reach western districts such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, Khalda and Dabouq, eastern areas such as Marka, Hashmi and Tabarbour, and suburbs like Abu Nseir and Shafa Badran.

Steps to Ship from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan starts with sending photos or a list of your items, then the quote and a pickup date, then dismantling, packing and loading, then the border crossing and clearance, and finally delivery and reassembly in Jordan. Here is each step:
- Contact and assessment: send photos or a video of the rooms, or we send a surveyor in the main cities, to set the volume and number of pieces.
- Quote and date: we send a detailed price with the transit time and crossing, and book the truck on the date you choose.
- Paperwork: passport and iqama copies, the inventory and recipient details; for a car, the registration and export plates.
- Dismantling and packing: our carpenters and crew dismantle, wrap and number every piece on pickup day.
- Loading and departure: heavy pieces at the bottom, glass secured along the sides.
- Border and clearance: we follow the shipment through Saudi and Jordanian customs and update you at each stage.
- Delivery and reassembly: unloading at the new home, rebuilding wardrobes and beds, and placing cartons in their rooms.
Tips Before Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan
The most important tip before shipping to Jordan is to prepare your inventory early and check it against what is loaded, and to book at least two weeks ahead of peak seasons. These further tips come from problems we see repeatedly on this road:
- Get rid of old furniture you will not use before shipping; every cubic metre costs money, and some pieces are cheaper to buy new in Jordan than to move.
- Photograph valuable appliances and key furniture before packing; photos help with any remark after arrival.
- Keep a travel bag with documents, gold, medicine, chargers and a few days’ clothes, and do not put it on the truck.
- Cancel electricity, internet and water accounts in the Kingdom after loading, and complete any final-exit formalities.
- Confirm the delivery address in Jordan with the number of someone there who can receive the truck if you arrive later.
- If you have a car and furniture, ship them in the same period so you only follow clearance once.
Summer and the end of the school year bring a rush of bookings on the Jordan road, so booking early lets you choose your pickup day instead of waiting for the first available truck.
