Shipping Company from Saudi Arabia to Syria 0560533140 | Luggage and Car Shipping to Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia

Saudi Express collects your furniture, belongings and goods from any city in Saudi Arabia and ships them to Syria by road through Jordan to the Jaber–Nasib crossing, where the load moves onto a Syrian truck that continues to Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Daraa and the other governorates; by sea in containers from Jeddah Islamic Port to Latakia; or by air to Damascus and Aleppo airports. Road shipments usually arrive within 7 to 14 days depending on border traffic, prices start from SAR 1,850 for a small household load, and bookings are taken on 0560533140 by call or WhatsApp.

Many of the questions we get about Syria start with one sentence: “Is the road open?” The answer is yes, but border procedures can change, and anyone shipping needs to know what happens to their shipment at the border before booking. This guide explains the route as it stands, prices and transit times, what may and may not be imported, and how to prepare your furniture so it arrives intact despite being moved from one truck to another.

How Road Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria Works

Road shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria runs through Jordan and the Jaber–Nasib crossing; border procedures and entry requirements can change from time to time, and in some cases the load is unloaded in the crossing yard and moved onto a Syrian truck that completes the journey to the address. That is why we confirm entry and transit requirements on the booking day.

In practice this means three things for anyone shipping. First, your furniture will be unloaded and reloaded at the border, so strong packing and clear numbering are not optional. Second, transit can grow by a day or more depending on congestion. Third, Syrian inspection is thorough, and the owner or an authorised person may be asked to attend at collection. Treatment can differ by the origin of the goods: some loads cross in the same truck while others are transferred from truck to truck.

Shipping Prices from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria starts from SAR 1,850 for a small household load, SAR 4.6 per kg by road for goods and parcels, and SAR 23 per kg by air. Full homes, containers and cars are priced once the volume and route are known.

These are the starting prices for the most requested services:

Four things drive the price on this route: shipment volume, the pickup city in the Kingdom, the Syrian governorate it is going to, and the cost of the Syrian truck from the crossing to the address. Delivery to Daraa or Damascus, close to Nasib, costs less than to Aleppo, Latakia or Deir ez-Zor. We send a detailed quote separating the road cost in the Kingdom and Jordan from the Syrian leg.

Crossing and inspection fees, and customs duties on non-exempt items, are not included in the transport price. Used furniture belonging to returnees usually enters with an exemption under the rules of the General Authority for Ports and Customs, but new appliances and quantities that look commercial are treated as goods.

What Determines the Price of Shipping to Syria?

Five things set the price of shipping to Syria: the shipment’s volume or weight, the chosen route, the distance from your city to the border or port, the Syrian governorate, and the type of packing needed. On the road route the Syrian truck from Nasib to the address is added, and on the sea route port clearance and inland transport.

• Small groupage shipments are priced by kilo or cubic metre; a full home by truck or container.
• Extra packing and wooden crates raise the price slightly but protect against this route’s biggest risks.
• Delivery to distant eastern or rural areas needs special arrangement and is priced by distance.

How Long Does Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria Take?

Road shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria takes roughly 7 to 14 days, sea freight to Latakia 3 to 5 weeks door to door, while air parcels land in two to five days. What moves the road timing most is waiting at Nasib and the time needed to transfer to the Syrian truck.

From Riyadh, Qassim and the Eastern Province the shipment usually crosses at Al Haditha, and from Jeddah, Madinah and Tabuk at Halat Ammar; the two routes meet in Jordan heading north to Jaber. In busy seasons such as summer and before Eid the number of trucks at Nasib rises, so we suggest booking early, or sea freight for anyone who does not want to wait.

From Nasib to Your City: How the Road Continues Inside Syria

Once the load is moved to the Syrian truck at Nasib, it heads north on the international road: Daraa is close to the crossing, Damascus about 100 kilometres away, then Homs and Hama, with Aleppo about 350 kilometres beyond Damascus. Latakia and Tartus branch west from Homs towards the coast, and Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa and Hasakah to the east need at least one extra day.

The cost and time of the Syrian leg therefore vary by governorate: a Daraa or south Damascus load often arrives the same day it leaves the crossing, an Aleppo or coastal load the next day, and eastern areas are arranged according to the available road. We ask for a precise address with the nearest well-known landmark and the number of someone on site, because the Syrian driver calls the recipient before arriving.

Sea Freight from Saudi Arabia to Syria via Latakia

Sea freight from Saudi Arabia to Syria uses a container from Jeddah Islamic Port to Latakia, sometimes Tartus, and suits full homes, commercial goods and anyone who does not want their load moved between trucks at the land border. The Saudi Ports Authority has activated a shipping service linking Jeddah with Latakia and Iskenderun.

The advantage of a container is that it is sealed in the Kingdom and only opened for customs inspection at the Syrian port, so there are fewer loading and unloading rounds and the furniture arrives as it was stowed. The timing is longer, and it needs port clearance and inland transport to your city, which suits residents of the coast, Homs, Hama and Aleppo more than those in Daraa and Sweida, close to Nasib.

For small volumes you can ship in a shared container by cubic metre, with your furniture kept apart from others by wrapping and labels in your name. A dedicated container is priced on sea freight plus clearance and delivery, so ask for its price by phone or WhatsApp and mention your city in Syria.

Air Freight from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Syria reaches Damascus International Airport or Aleppo International Airport within 2 to 5 days, starts from SAR 23 per kg, and suits parcels, documents, personal medicine and small electronics. Air cargo reaches Damascus and Aleppo airports, directly or via a transit hub depending on the flight, which makes air a practical option for urgent parcels.

The price is charged on the higher of actual and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight = length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 6,000. A 60×40×40 cm carton has a volumetric weight of 16 kg, so if it is full of light clothes weighing 7 kg it is charged as 16. Keep air freight for small, important things: children’s papers, phones and laptops, medicine and light gifts. Large loose batteries, perfume in commercial quantities and unsealed liquids are not accepted by air.

Shipping Furniture and Belongings from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Furniture going to Syria needs stronger packing than other routes, because the load is unloaded and reloaded at the border. Carpenters dismantle wardrobes and beds, every piece is wrapped in layers, small items go into strong numbered cartons, fragile pieces go into wooden crates, and we prepare a list against which delivery is checked at every stage.

What returnees complain about most in reports from the crossings is weak cartons tearing and glass breaking when furniture is moved hastily between trucks, and one family’s things getting mixed with another’s. So we follow three rules: a double-wall carton for anything breakable, a number and name on every piece rather than just on cartons, and fewer large, well-sealed packages instead of dozens of bags.

Personal belongings such as clothes, blankets, books and kitchenware are packed in medium cartons that are easy to carry, rugs are rolled rather than folded, AC units have their gas recovered and copper ends capped, and the fridge is dried with doors secured. If you will collect in Damascus and then pass part of the load to relatives in another city, tell us so we can group cartons by address.

What Do Returning Families Usually Ship to Syria?

Families returning to Syria mostly ship bedroom sets, kitchens, household appliances, rugs, blankets and school supplies, and there are many questions about small generators, solar panels and batteries because of limited electricity hours in some areas. These must be listed clearly; large batteries are treated as dangerous goods in transport and need special packing and approval, so they must never be hidden among the furniture.

Before shipping a large old piece, compare its transport cost with its price in Syria, as some furniture costs more to ship than it is worth. On the other hand, good appliances and furnishings the family treasures deserve the space. We help you sort the list so you pay only for what is worth it.

Car Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Shipping a used car to Syria for registration there is subject to strict limits on used-car imports and may not be open to individuals except in specific cases, so we confirm the rule in force with the authority before booking. What is allowed is new cars no more than two years old, trucks, tractor units, machinery and agricultural tractors up to ten years old, and large buses with more than 32 seats up to four years old.

This means a returning family usually cannot ship its used car from the Kingdom to register it in Syria, and selling it before travelling is the sensible choice. A trader or investor shipping new cars, or trucks and machinery within the permitted ages, can ship them with us in a container or on a closed carrier, with Saudi export documents and export plates prepared. Temporary entry in a Saudi-plated car driven by its owner on a visit is a separate matter subject to border procedures, so confirm it before travelling.

Bringing used cars into Syrian free zones for display falls under a separate system for investors; it does not cover individuals and does not allow the car to be registered or sold inside Syria. This applies to free zones only and does not cover individuals.

Returnees’ Furniture Exemption and Required Documents

The Syrian General Authority for Ports and Customs grants returnees exemptions on their personal belongings and used household furniture, and we confirm the conditions with the clearing agent on the booking day. The exemption covers used furniture and personal items; new appliances in boxes and quantities that look commercial may be charged.

Documents we need from you to ship to Syria:

• A copy of the Syrian passport or ID card of the furniture owner, and of the Saudi residence permit.
• An itemised list of furniture, appliances and cartons with their numbers.
• The delivery address in Syria and the recipient’s phone number, plus their name if they are not the owner.
• A power of attorney for whoever will collect if you are not present, as some crossings require the owner or an agent to attend.
• For commercial goods: a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and any required conformity certificate.

Register the shipment in the name of a living person who can attend or appoint an agent; shipments have been delayed because they were registered under a deceased or absent person’s name. We check the name and address with you before the truck leaves the Kingdom.

Prohibited Items When Shipping to Syria

On the Syria road we refuse to load guns, ammunition and narcotics, anything flammable from gas to petrol to aerosols, and chemicals. Money and jewellery travel with you, not with the furniture, and bringing in large stocks of medicine, wireless sets or drones is restricted. Because the shipment crosses Jordan, Jordanian restrictions also apply to its contents.

• Food in large quantities may be treated as commercial; sealed household amounts are accepted.
• New boxed appliances go on the list as a separate line so inspection holds no surprises.
• Car spare parts in large quantities are treated as goods and need an invoice.
• Original official papers and certificates travel with you, not inside the furniture.

Shipping Commercial Goods from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Commercial goods go to Syria by road on trucks whose loads are transferred at Nasib to Syrian trucks, or by sea in a full or shared container to Latakia. They need a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and some products need import approvals from Syrian authorities. We handle export formalities from the Kingdom through the FASAH platform and arrange clearance on the Syrian side with a licensed agent.

Traders usually ask us to ship packaged food, personal care products, clothing, household goods, light building materials and car spare parts. The key advice is to confirm the product’s status on Syrian import lists before buying, because some goods face restrictions or high duties, and moving goods only to find them banned at the border is a double loss.

For large commercial volumes to Aleppo, Homs and the coast, sea is often clearer on cost because the container is priced as one unit and is not unloaded at a land crossing. For medium volumes bound for Damascus and Daraa, road remains faster. We price both options for you before booking.

Shipping Appliances and AC Units to Syria

Used electrical appliances travel to Syria with returnees’ furniture after preparation: the AC has its gas recovered and pipes capped, the fridge is emptied, dried and its doors tied, the washing machine drum is fixed, and the TV is wrapped in rigid board with corner guards. Because the load is transferred at the border, heavy appliances go at the bottom of the truck with clear labels to stop them being tipped over.

New appliances are what catch an inspector’s eye most, since they can be taken for goods for sale. If you bought a new fridge or washing machine for your home in Syria, list it clearly and keep its invoice, which shortens discussion at the crossing. Some families unbox new appliances and wrap them as used ones, but that does not change the fact that they are new, so being upfront on the list is safer.

Insurance and Storage for Syria-Bound Shipments

We recommend insurance for a Syria shipment more than on other routes, because the load goes through a truck-to-truck transfer and a long road. It usually covers accidents, fire and drops in transit as a percentage of declared value, and we explain its limits before you sign, such as excluding items the owner packed or anything opened and repacked outside our supervision.

Storage in the Kingdom helps anyone who wants to wait until conditions at Nasib improve, or who leaves before their home in Syria is ready. The wrapped, numbered pieces sit in a locked warehouse, and when you give the word we send them by road or move them into a sea container, whichever fits the conditions then.

Mistakes That Hold Shipments at the Nasib Crossing

What most often delays a shipment at Nasib is an inaccurate list, undeclared new appliances, and registering the shipment in the name of someone who cannot attend. Here are other mistakes we have seen and warn customers about:

• Packing belongings in many fabric bags and small holdalls instead of numbered cartons, making them hard to count and match.
• Leaving cleaning products, aerosols and air fresheners inside cartons, which are pulled out at inspection and delay entry.
• Packing large quantities of one item, such as dozens of tins of the same product, which looks commercial.
• Shipping a used car within the load without checking the import decision.
• Not telling the recipient in Syria the arrival time, so the Syrian truck waits or returns with the load.
• Choosing road at peak congestion without comparing it with sea, especially for a full home.

What Will You Pay in Syria Besides Freight?

Besides freight you may pay crossing and service fees in Syria, the Syrian truck fare if it is not in the agreed price, customs duties on non-exempt items, and for sea, port, handling and storage charges if collection is delayed. Used furniture belonging to returnees is usually exempt from customs duties under the authority’s conditions.

We make sure our price is clear on this point: we state whether the Syrian leg is included or separate, and what you can expect to pay at the crossing or port. Comparing two quotes only makes sense if both cover the same stages all the way to your door.

Governorates We Deliver to in Syria

We deliver to Damascus and Rural Damascus, Daraa, Sweida and Quneitra in the south; Homs and Hama in the centre; Latakia, Tartus, Jableh and Baniyas on the coast; Aleppo and Idlib in the north; and Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa and Hasakah in the east, subject to access at the time of shipping.

• Shipping from Riyadh to Syria: the northern road via Al Haditha.
• Shipping from Jeddah to Syria: by road via Halat Ammar or by sea from Jeddah port to Latakia.
• Details of land freight, sea freight and air freight are on their own pages.

Because the route to Syria passes through Jordan, anyone wanting the Jordanian crossings in detail will find them in our guide Shipping Company from Saudi Arabia to Jordan, and anyone with family in Lebanon will find the transit route in Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon.

Steps to Ship from Saudi Arabia to Syria

Shipping to Syria follows these steps: assessing the shipment and choosing the route, the price and date, documents and the list, dismantling, packing and loading, crossing into Jordan and Nasib with transfer to the Syrian truck, and finally delivery at your address.

1. Assessment: photos or a survey to set the volume, and a question about your city in Syria.
2. Route choice: road, sea or air depending on volume, border conditions and urgency.
3. Price and date: a detailed quote for the Saudi, Jordanian and Syrian legs, and a pickup date.
4. Documents: passport, list, recipient address and a power of attorney if needed.
5. Packing and loading: packing built for truck-to-truck transfer, with every piece numbered.
6. Crossing: following the shipment through the Jordanian borders and Nasib, and its transfer to the Syrian truck.
7. Delivery: checking against the list when the Syrian truck reaches your address.

Tips Before Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Syria

The most important tip: ask about Nasib that same week, make the packing stronger than you think it needs to be, and register the shipment in the name of whoever will actually collect it. More tips:

• Check Syria’s used-car import conditions before travelling; if your car does not qualify, selling it in the Kingdom is the better option.
• Do not hide new boxed appliances among the furniture without listing them.
• Split small valuables between your own bag and air freight; do not leave them on the truck.
• If you have a full home and live on the coast or in Aleppo, compare road with a sea container.
• Tell the person receiving in Syria the approximate arrival time and ask them to be reachable when the driver calls.
• Avoid lots of small bags and holdalls; they are easier to lose when moved between trucks.
