The phrase looks like one line: Saudi Arabia → UAE. But in practice there is a big difference between a home in Dammam and another in Jeddah, and between delivery in Al Sila or Abu Dhabi and a home in Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah. All direct land trucks meet at the Batha port and then the Ghuwaifat center, but the route before and after the border may differ by hundreds of kilometers.
This is why Alfaris International Shipping Company bases the furniture transportation process on four numbers and information before giving the offer: The receiving address, the size of the furniture after dismantling and packaging, the customs status of the shipment owner, and the final delivery address within the UAE.. When these elements are clear, the truck, packaging, inventory and border procedures can be selected without relying on general promises such as “cheapest price” or “guaranteed two-day delivery”.
Part One: The main guide to shipping furniture from Saudi Arabia to the UAE
There is no single distance called Saudi Arabia to the UAE
One of the most important reasons for the disparity in furniture moving offers is that Saudi Arabia itself is a huge starting point. A truck starting from Al-Ahsa or Dammam has a completely different journey than a truck starting from Jeddah or Mecca, while Riyadh and Qassim have another internal route before reaching the border region.
As for inside the UAE, reaching Al Ghuwaifat does not mean the end of the mission. Al Ghuwaifat is located in the Al Dhafra region in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi on the Saudi border, then the truck continues to the desired address. The house may be in Al Silaa or Ruwais in the west of the emirate, or in the city of Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah.
That is why we do not use the price of “Saudi Arabia to the UAE” without two addresses. The more accurate the two door points are, the more realistic the price and duration comparison becomes.
Al-Bathaa and Ghuwaifat ports are almost constant in direct land shipping, but the variable part is pre-Bathaa and post-Ghuwaifat. So a house in Jeddah to Dubai is not the same as a house in Dammam to Abu Dhabi even if the furniture size is identical.
Direct land route: Batha then Ghuwaifat
Al Batha Port is the only land port that connects Saudi Arabia of Saudi Arabia directly to the United Arab UAE. It is located in Al Udayd Governorate in the Eastern Province, and opposite it on the UAE side is the Al Ghuwaifat Customs Center in the Al Dhafra region.
For furniture moving, this fact makes land the first choice for comparison in most home moving cases. We do not need to unload the furniture at a port, then lift it into a container and then take it out from another port as at sea, and we do not need to enter into the high volumetric weight of air freight.
But the ease of the direct route does not negate the importance of documents. The truck is crossing one country to another and requires an exit declaration from Saudi Arabia, an appropriate entry file for the UAE, and a packing list representing what is actually inside the vehicle.
How does the flight differ depending on the Saudi departure area?
Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Al-Ahsa are geographically closer to the Batha axis than the central and western cities, so the Saudi portion of the trip is usually shorter.
The truck moves east and south towards Haradh and then Batha, and the size of the cargo and stowage become important due to the extension of the desert road.
The shipment first needs to join the Riyadh axis and then complete the route to Batha, so it is not counted as a shipment starting from the capital.
There is a long land crossing within Saudi Arabia before reaching the eastern region and the port, so the second return trip or choosing a vehicle that is too small becomes more expensive.
The location requires a long internal path towards the axis leading to Batha, so the price of Riyadh or Al Sharqiya is not automatically used for it.
Calculation is done from the actual home address; Sometimes teams within the same region are influential in the collection and transportation phase.
The seven emirates are not “just Dubai and Abu Dhabi”
After Al-Ghuwaifat, an internal phase begins, which may be relatively short or extend across more than one emirate. A shipment to Abu Dhabi should not be priced as if it were going to Ras Al Khaimah, and a shipment to Al Ain has a different route than the Dubai and Sharjah route.
The address of the emirate itself is also important. A house in western Abu Dhabi is not like a tower on an island within the city, and in Dubai, delivery may be to a villa that allows the vehicle to park in front of the door or a tower that requires the transportation team to register and reserve a service elevator.
| Destination | What’s so special about the last mile? | What do we need to know? |
|---|---|---|
| Al Dhafra, Ruwais and Al Sela’a | Closer to Al Ghuwaifat than the cities on the east coast | Actual location within the area. |
| Abu Dhabi City | An additional road after the border, then a building or villa | Neighborhood, elevator and parking. |
| The eye | It has an independent internal road within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi | The final address instead of writing Abu Dhabi only. |
| Dubai | Continuing after Abu Dhabi, with possible restrictions on large vehicles in urban areas | Building and receiving window. |
| Sharjah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain | Continuing north after Dubai | Location and appropriate arrival time. |
| Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah | Longer indoor stage, different terrain and tracks | The emirate and the precise region. |
Land, sea or air shipping of furniture?
For a complete home, direct land transportation is often the first option to be evaluated, because the cargo can move from the home in Saudi Arabia to the property in the UAE via a direct road between the two countries.
Sea shipping may make sense for some larger loads or plans that require a container, but it adds to the process a home-to-port transfer, port handling, an offshore leg, a port of arrival and then a new inland transportation. So we do not assume that sea is cheaper before calculating the whole series.
As for the air conditioner, it is usually suitable for small packages, urgent items, or the highest value in relation to their weight and size, and not a sofa or an entire bedroom except in special circumstances.
| method | Mostly fit | Her advantage | What to calculate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autonomous land truck | Medium or large house | Reduce handling and change the means of transportation | Capacity, route, customs, final city. |
| Wild compilation | A room or several pieces and cartons | Use space closest to the load size | Additional collection and handling times. |
| Nautical | A container or large shipment that has an operational justification | Suitable for certain sizes | Transport to the port, handling and port of arrival. |
| Joey | Small and urgent items | Reducing the time of the main part of the trip | Volumetric weight and transportation to and from the airport. |
Independent truck or ground collection?
Not every customer needs a complete vehicle. If the load is a sofa, a loose room and several cartons, ground collection can be compared with an independent truck. However, if the house contains several rooms, appliances, a living room, a kitchen, and many possessions, a dedicated vehicle may be more efficient and reduce handling times.
When assembling, you must know where the furniture will be inserted into the international line truck. Is it collected from home to a warehouse? Will the vehicle change in Riyadh or the Eastern Province? How many times will the packages move from hand to hand?
These questions don’t make compilation bad; But it determines the level of packaging and inventory required. A package that will be transported three times needs to handle more than one piece moving from the home directly to the designated truck and then to the UAE home.
The size after unpacking is the number that matters more than the number of rooms
There is no official charging unit called a “bedroom.” A room containing a six-door closet, a large bed, a dresser, and a mirror is not the same as a simple room with a small closet. Also, some furniture decreases in size a lot after dismantling, while the sofa and mattress maintain most of their size.
Therefore, a good presentation depends on a complete video, pictures of large pieces, and then an estimate of the size after disassembly and protection. In this way, a compound is chosen that allows installation without compressing the furniture or removing the packaging until it fits into the space.
Ten stages from the door of the Saudi home to the door of the Emirati home
Saudi receiving city, emirate, neighborhood and building in the UAE.
Video of all rooms, stores, appliances and cartons to reduce loading day surprises.
This step is important for the customs file and should not be postponed to the port.
The status, residence, and documents of the shipment owner are evaluated instead of assuming that every user is exempt.
Dismantle the pieces that need this, then protect each type with the appropriate material.
Each box and package gets a number associated with the packing list.
Distributing weights, preventing movement, and protecting the screen, marble and glass from pressure.
Preparing the export declaration and shipment documents before leaving Saudi Arabia via Batha.
The statement, attachments, truck permit and inspection permit when selected according to the risk system.
Counting packets at the final address, then unloading and reassembling according to the agreed upon service scope.
How do we choose the vehicle?
| Option | It is suitable when… | What do we review before adopting it? |
|---|---|---|
| Medium box vehicle | The size is limited and can be installed without pressure | Interior dimensions, payload and last mile. |
| Bigger truck | Medium or large house | The capacity is actually required after measuring the load. |
| Custom truck | The load is large, sensitive, or requires a separate schedule | Access to both properties and no vehicle restrictions. |
| Wild compilation | The size does not justify a full truck | Place of collection, numbering, and number of handling times. |
How is the cost of shipping furniture to the UAE calculated?
We do not set a fixed amount for a room or apartment; Because the cost changes from one city to another and from one property to another. The difference may be greater than the difference between two rooms of the same size.
| The worker | How does it affect? | What do we need for evaluation? |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving city | Determines the length of the Saudi stage | Home link. |
| The final emirate | Determine the road after Ghuwaifat | The emirate, the district and the building. |
| Size after disassembly | Identifies the vehicle or assembly | Video and photos of the pieces. |
| Packaging | Screens, marble and antiques require additional materials and support | List of sensitive parts. |
| dismantling and reassembly | They increase labor but jaw may reduce size | Type of rooms, kitchens and appliances. |
| Customs | Qualified used is different from new or commercial | Status of the shipment owner and list of contents. |
| The property | Floor, elevator and truck stop change of employment | Details of the two buildings. |
| Storage | Adds new space, handling and loading capacity | When the house is ready. |
Common errors that increase shipping costs or break down the file
A room is not a unit of size, and the difference between two houses can be very large.
The new one must appear in the shipment list and its documents instead of being entered under the user’s description.
Saving part of the vehicle fare is of no use if we need to pack furniture or make another trip.
The word “home cartons” is not sufficient when inspecting, assembling, or delivering.
Used furniture alone is not enough; There are conditions related to the owner of the shipment, residence, and nature of use.
Some towers and complexes require elevator and vehicle coordination before the delivery day.
- ✅ Send the real delivery link in Saudi Arabia.
- ✅ Send the emirate, district and final building in the UAE.
- ✅ Photograph all rooms, stores, and boxes.
- ✅ Separate used things from new ones.
- ✅ Do not mix any commercial merchandise with personal furniture.
- ✅ Determine what needs to be disassembled and installed.
- ✅ Prepare a preliminary list of appliances and large parts.
- ✅ Check residency and exemption eligibility before downloading.
- ✅ Ask where the collection will take place if the shipment is shared.
- ✅ Make sure packages are numbered.
- ✅ Check the UAE Terminal instructions before the truck arrives.
- ✅ Understand the terms of coverage and liability before leaving home.
Why jockey for this path?
We price door to door
We do not deal with Saudi Arabia or the UAE as a single point on the map.
Size after disassembly
Choosing the vehicle comes after estimating the actual furniture and not just the number of rooms.
File before borders
Inventory, new and used items, and the status of the shipment owner are reviewed before the shipment.
Packaging per piece
The sofa, screen, and marble do not need the same type of protection.
Matchable inventory
Each package has a number that can be reviewed at collection, borders and delivery.
Presentation based on real data
Send the video, addresses and residency status to +966 54 071 3193 to start the assessment.
Part Two: Saudi Export Guide, Used Furniture Exemption, and Clearance in Al Ghuwaifat
The furniture list should become a customs file that can be understood
When the furniture is inside the house, its owner knows that “this is the kitchen box” and “this is the children’s room stuff.” At the border, this personal knowledge is not enough. There should be a clear packing list that helps describe and match the load.
The Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority stipulates in the procedures for exporting personal effects that the consignment must be of a personal and non-commercial nature, and that an export form be prepared and a statement specifying the quantities and items be issued, along with verification of the restricted materials.
Personal export procedures also allow documents to be submitted electronically from the owner of the goods, his representative, or an authorized broker, and the shipment remains subject to inspection according to risk standards.
What documents must be prepared before Batha?
| Document or information | His job | Observation |
|---|---|---|
| Identity, passport or residence | Identify the owner of the shipment | The name must match the login file. |
| Detailed packing list | Description of furniture, boxes and appliances | It is preferable to associate them with package numbers. |
| Export declaration | Documenting the cargo’s departure from Saudi Arabia | It should reflect the actual load. |
| Land cargo manifest | Connecting items to the vehicle and carrier | Required in the wild file upon entry. |
| Bills for new things | Clarify the description and value of the new | New is not merged with used. |
| Proof of work or residence | Supporting the request for a household appliances exemption for the eligible category | The conditions are reviewed before the exemption is approved. |
| Special permits | For restricted items, if any | The need for it must be discovered before downloading. |
The used furniture exemption exists, but it is not for every used sofa
The unified customs guide published by Abu Dhabi Customs sets an exemption for personal effects and used household items for citizens residing outside the GCC countries upon return, and for foreigners coming to reside for the first time according to the specified conditions.
Among the conditions are that the items be used, of a personal nature, in non-commercial quantities, and that they come from the country of residence. Foreigners are also required to provide proof of coming to work or reside according to the period specified by the published procedures.
The attached documents include a copy or data of identity, passport or residence visa, a detailed packing list for used household items, an invoice for new items, and a load manifest for land import.
Therefore, we do not promise the customer an exemption from WhatsApp video only. Its condition, documents, and nature of the furniture must be reviewed before confirming the transaction.
Do not confuse the exemption for traveler’s accompanying belongings with a file for transporting an entire house by truck. Ground furniture shipment has a manifest, packing list and import procedure, not a personal bag that passes with the traveler in the car.
What about an Emirati citizen returning from abroad?
The used household items exemption policy also covers the citizen residing abroad upon return to residence, with proof of foreign residence and fulfillment of the prescribed conditions.
Therefore, if the owner of the shipment is an Emirati citizen returning from a stay in Saudi Arabia, his file will be different from a person transporting furniture to a second home within the UAE without a final return from abroad.
The purpose of the exemption is for personal luggage and household items according to its terms, and not to open a general exemption for every purchase or transportation of used furniture.
New furniture gets a different treatment
If the house contains used furniture and then the client buys a new monitor, refrigerator and room set before traveling, the new items must be shown separately.
The customs manual requires a commercial invoice for new household items, and UAE customs policies make it clear that new ones do not automatically benefit from the same exemption for used household items.
Removing the product box or operating it once does not convert a new deal into used furniture in the customs sense. Real description is always better when matched and previewed.
The car does not fall within the homestead exemption
The Unified Guide excludes means of transportation from the exemption for personal effects and used household items. Therefore, if the client wants to move a car and furniture at the same time, the project can be coordinated, but each file is handled according to his requirements.
The car is not placed on the bedroom and sofa list and we do not assume that the home exemption will apply to it.
Commercial merchandise is not personal furniture
If the homeowner runs a store and wants to add dozens of new units for sale, inventory or business equipment to the truck, this must be disclosed.
Exempt personal effects must be non-commercial. So the business stock does not become personal because it traveled in the same vehicle as the family.
A separate commercial shipment or proper filing of the merchandise can be arranged, but mixing it with furniture may complicate the declaration and delay the rest of the contents.
Al-Ghuwaifat and clearance before arrival
Abu Dhabi Customs at Al Ghuwaifat Center implements a pre-arrival clearance system for trucks, which includes preparing the customs declaration and necessary attachments in advance and issuing a transit permit for the truck before it arrives at the port.
This is an important point in moving homes: Do not wait for the car to arrive in Al Ghuwaifat to start looking for the residence copy or ask the customer whether the screen is new or used. The more the file is completed before the move, the less work begins at the border.
But preclearance does not equal an automatic exemption and does not mean that the truck will not undergo inspection. Customs remains able to request inspection or additional documents depending on the nature of the operation and risk management.
Restricted items must be discovered inside the home before packaging
Abu Dhabi Customs publishes a list of restricted and prohibited goods and the relevant regulatory authorities. Some devices and products may require review or approval, as well as hazardous materials or items that are not already suitable for shipping among household furniture.
Therefore, we do not place gas cylinders, fuel, dangerous liquids, or unknown chemicals among the cartons. Medications, large quantities of food, or unusual equipment must also be disclosed.
One poorly described box may lead to a wider inspection of a truck carrying an entire house.
Part Three: A guide to packing and installing furniture on the way from Saudi Arabia to the UAE
International packaging does not increase the number of layers of plastic
The problem on a long road is not just dust. Furniture is subject to vibration, braking, cornering, handling and possibly vehicle changes in combined shipping. Therefore, protection must address three risks: surface scratching, chassis shock, and movement of the part inside the truck.
External nylon is useful for securing protective layers and maintaining cleanliness, but it alone does not handle a stress on a screen or a bend in a marble slab.
For wood, sofas and tables and to prevent constant friction during the road.
For screens, devices, glossy surfaces and impact areas.
For facings, panels, cartons and creating numberable packages.
Protects the corners that receive the impact first when lifting and handling.
For marble, glass, mirrors and panels that may be damaged by bending.
Prevents load assemblies from shifting, while protecting stress points under the belt.
Suitable packaging for every type of furniture
| Widget | Appropriate protection | The risk we address |
|---|---|---|
| Cupboard panels | Soft separator + blanket or foam + cardboard for the edges | Scratching and loss of accessories. |
| Sofas and boards | Clean cover + blankets + leg protection | Tear, dirt and pressure. |
| Screens | Foam + edge protectors + suitable box | Plate pressure and vibration. |
| Mirrors | Foam + carton or cover + bracket | Shocks and bending. |
| Marble | Soft spacer + suitable supporting frame | Fracture resulting from bending. |
| Refrigerator | Unpack, dry and secure shelves, doors and surface protection | Movement of parts, scratches and liquids. |
| The washing machine | Drain water and secure hoses and chassis | Leakage and movement of components. |
| Carpets | Clean and dry completely, then wrap and protect | Lock in moisture and odors. |
Wheel: The success of the jaw is measured when reassembling it in the UAE
Dismantling the cupboard saves a lot of space, but it may create a new problem if the parts turn into similar panels without definition. Therefore, the pieces are numbered, and the screws, hinges, and brackets for each cupboard are collected in a separate bag bearing the same number.
If the design is complex, quick pictures before and during disassembly are helpful. The goal is for the wood to arrive in good condition and then the technician spends hours searching for the location of each hinge.
We also do not stick strong tape directly to the polished surface of furniture if it can leave marks when removed.
Screens: No safe place means the vehicle is smaller than required
The screen is not a flexible piece that we place in the last remaining space. It needs a box or suitable protection and a position where it will not receive the pressure of furniture.
If the truck is full and the team has to place the screen under a table or between heavy boards, the right solution is not to reduce the foam; The solution is to re-evaluate stowage or capacity.
The base, remote and wires are separated and placed under the display number for easy matching.
Marble and glass: Air bubbles do not prevent bending
Some damage does not come from a direct hit, but from loading the board in a way that allows it to bend under its own weight or the weight of another piece. So marble can be well wrapped and still break.
Marble and large glass need proper support, positioning that takes into account the direction of the load, and not pulling the belts directly on a weak spot.
Stowage inside the truck is more important than the appearance of the external packaging
We place the heaviest in stable positions, distribute the weight, and then create partitions that prevent movement. We do not place all the devices on one side, nor do we leave too much free space to allow the cartons to move when braking.
On the other hand, we do not fill every centimeter with a sensitive piece just to take advantage of the space. There must be space for protection, a harness, and reasonable access to some packages if you request an inspection.
Wild collection raises the importance of the outer layer and numbering
If the shipment is going to enter a consolidation warehouse and then a line truck, the package is subject to more handling. Here we pay more attention to the outer carton, edge protectors and clear label.
Counting is done at each handling point. Having 37 numbered packages is a lot better than a “full house furnishings” description that doesn’t tell anyone if a box is missing.
Good inventory serves customs and delivery together
We don’t need to write down every single spoon, but the list should be practical: a clothes box, a bookcase, used kitchen utensils, a screen, a disassembled bed, wardrobe panels, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and so on.
If there are new items, they are clearly separated. If the box contains material that is unusual or requires a permit, it should not be hidden under a general description such as “miscellaneous purposes.”
This way the list becomes useful for the client, the client and the team all at once.
From Saudi drought to coastal humidity
The shipment may start in Riyadh or Qassim in a drier environment and then end in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or coastal Sharjah. Therefore, carpets or sofas should not be packaged while wet after cleaning.
Refrigerators and washing machines are also dried, leaving no water trapped inside them during a closed trip. The problem is not that the road itself generates moisture; The problem is that packaging may trap what was there before loading.
Storage before or after shipment
If a customer’s residence, exemption file or UAE home is not ready, storing furniture in Saudi Arabia temporarily can be better than sending a vehicle to the border with an incomplete file.
If the customs file is ready but the Emirati home has not yet been delivered, post-arrival storage can be arranged according to the available service.
But storage means extra handling: unpacking, counting, putting in space, then reloading. It therefore appears in the offer as a real item and is not treated as a stage without cost or risk.
Part Four: Insurance, Delivery, Terminology and FAQs
Absolute Guarantee is not an insurance plan
The old page and many competitors use phrases like “no scratch” or “guaranteed access without loss.” On an international trip of this size, it is best to use verifiable language: What is covered in the contract or insurance policy? What is the declared value? What are the exceptions? Who did the packaging? What is the deadline for reporting?
There is no transfer whose risk can be described as zero. Therefore, we rely on prevention, documentation, and inventory, and then on the terms of coverage agreed upon by the client.
Document the condition and old scratches before touching the piece.
It confirms the number of packages and description and helps detect shortages.
Proof of value requirements are reviewed according to the agreed upon coverage.
The last mile may require another vehicle
A truck suitable for an international route is not always suitable for entering under a tower or into a narrow residential street. In some cases a smaller vehicle is planned for the last mile after completing the international leg.
This is not a problem if it is known in advance; The problem is that the large truck arrives and then we discover that the building’s parking lot cannot accommodate it or that the complex’s management did not allow entry.
That’s why we ask before moving about elevator reservations, parking heights, loading space, and security rules at the property.
How is the correct delivery done?
Delivery begins with the number of packages and their matching to the list. Sensitive pieces are then reviewed before being unpacked, boxes are moved to the correct rooms, and the pieces covered by the agreement are reassembled.
If a note appears on a screen, mirror, or wooden surface, the part, packaging, and package number are immediately photographed.
It is not preferable to throw away all covers and boxes before completing the inspection of important pieces; The packaging materials themselves may be a useful part of case documentation.
What to do if a problem arises upon delivery?
1 – Do not dispose of the packaging of the item in question.
2 – Photograph the entire package and number it.
3 – Photograph the damage or observation from more than one angle.
4 – Compare it with the pre-load images in Saudi Arabia.
5 – If there is a deficiency, check the package numbers instead of relying on memory.
6 – Record the note in the manner agreed upon upon submission.
7 – Keep the invoice or value document if the claim requires it.
8 – Review the duration and procedure of the claim in your coverage policy or contract.
Important terms in shipping furniture to the UAE
Frequently asked questions about shipping furniture from Saudi Arabia to the UAE
For most homes, land shipping is the first comparison option due to a direct land connection via Batha and Ghuwaifat, but size, city and services may make consolidation, sea or air suitable in other cases.
Al-Bathaa port is the only direct Saudi land port with the UAE, and it is opposite the Al-Ghuwaifat center in the Al-Dhafra region.
No. The land truck coming from Saudi Arabia enters through Al Ghuwaifat in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and then continues to Dubai according to the procedure and the internal route.
Delivery can be planned to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Al Ain, etc., calculating the distance and last mile to each address.
This should not be assumed; The route after Ghuwaifat is different, and the handling, building and size of the shipment are different, so each address needs to be evaluated.
The Eastern Province is geographically closer to Al Batha than Jeddah, but the final price also depends on the size of the house, vehicle, packaging, customs, and delivery city.
Including the receipt and delivery addresses, the size of the furniture after dismantling and packaging, the method of transportation, labor, customs status, and storage or installation if required.
A comprehensive video goes a long way in estimating the size and type of vehicle, and a large home or inconspicuous lots may need additional information or inspection.
The number of rooms gives only a preliminary indication. The most accurate calculation is based on the actual size after unpacking and packaging because room contents vary greatly.
It can accommodate small to medium sizes, but it is important that packages are wrapped and numbered so they can withstand additional handling or vehicle changes.
When the payload is large, delicate, close to the capacity of an autonomous vehicle, or when minimizing handling is a priority.
There is an exemption for eligible categories according to conditions related to the owner of the shipment, residence, condition of the items, their quantities, and their non-commercial nature, so the exemption is not automatic for all used furniture.
Basic documents include proof of identity, passport or residency, proof of residency or work depending on the beneficiary’s status, and a detailed list of used household items.
They do not automatically fall under the used household items exemption; The new one must be separated, its invoices must be shown, and it must be treated according to the applicable procedure.
No. Means of transportation are excluded from this exemption, so the vehicle requires a separate file and procedures.
It must be disclosed and treated in accordance with its commercial nature; Goods intended for sale do not become personal items due to their presence with furniture.
It is an organized list of the contents of the shipment, packages, appliances and furniture pieces, and assists in customs procedures and compliance upon delivery.
Yes, Abu Dhabi Customs implements a system for preparing the declaration, attachments, and truck transit permit before arriving at Al Ghuwaifat Center.
No. Preparation helps organize the procedure, but it does not eliminate review or inspection when selecting the shipment according to the risk system.
We do not fix one term for all of Saudi Arabia and all of the UAE; The duration changes depending on the starting city, house size, cluster, borders, final emirate, and property readiness.
Yes in appropriate cases, but the total transportation to port, handling, sea freight, port of destination and final delivery must be compared with the direct land route.
It is usually more suitable for small and urgent items because large furniture is affected by volumetric weight, but each case is evaluated according to its size and priority.
Some buildings may require transportation staff to register, reserve a service elevator, or specify a parking and time window, so you should check with the property management itself.
Storage can be arranged where available within the service, but it adds handling, space and reloading, so duration, cost and terms must be determined in advance.
We don’t assume that. You should review the offer or coverage document for parts, value, exclusions, packaging requirements, and claim method.
Send a comprehensive video of the furniture, the pick-up and delivery locations, the floor and the elevator, the new and the used one, the residence situation, the sensitive parts and the required services.
Shipment details, locations, video and available documents can be sent to Alfaris International Shipping Company on +966 54 071 3193 for vehicle evaluation, packaging and appropriate action.
Send a video of the belongings, the receiving address in Saudi Arabia, and the emirate, neighborhood, and building in the UAE, and specify what is used, what is new, and the residence status. With this information, it is possible to calculate the volume after disassembly, choose the truck or assembly, prepare the packing list, export, clearance and delivery on a clear basis.
