Full load, part load or container?
Choosing the method is the first decision that sets price and transit. The simple rule: if your goods do not fill half a truck, a part load is cheaper; if they fill a truck or need precise dates, a full truck suits better; if they are very heavy or bound for Aqaba from Jeddah, a sea container is worth comparing.
| Option | Suits | From | Transit to Amman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part load (LTL) | A few pallets or commercial cartons | SAR 730 per cubic metre | 3โ6 days |
| Direct dyna | A small load needing immediate departure | SAR 1,990 | 2โ4 days |
| Small closed truck | Medium goods for one customer | SAR 3,690 | 2โ4 days |
| Full trailer (FTL) | Goods filling a 13-metre truck | SAR 5,500 | 2โ5 days |
| 20 ft container by sea | Heavy goods from Jeddah to Aqaba | SAR 4,370 | 3โ6 days at sea |
| Air freight | Urgent samples and spare parts | SAR 55 per kg | 24โ72 hours |
โน๏ธ How is a cubic metre calculated?
Length ร width ร height in metres for each pallet or package. A 1.2 ร 1 ร 1.5 m pallet equals 1.8 cubic metres. If goods are very heavy for their size, such as steel or tiles, weight is also considered in pricing.
What we ship for businesses
โ ๏ธ Goods that need special arrangements
Hazardous and flammable materials need separate licensed transport, chilled food and medicines need refrigerated trucks, and wireless devices and some standards-controlled goods need Jordanian approvals before shipping. Tell us the goods type so we set out what is needed before loading.
Customs clearance for companies
A commercial shipment goes through two procedures: export from Saudi Arabia and import into Jordan. We handle both through licensed agents at the borders; the Jordanian importer remains responsible for keeping registration and licences valid.
| Stage | What happens | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| In Saudi Arabia | Export declaration on Fasah with the invoice and packing list | Our agent with your authorisation |
| Certificate of origin | Attested by the chamber of commerce | The exporter |
| At Al-Haditha or Halat Ammar | Weighing, inspection, matching, then crossing | Driver and agent |
| At Al-Omari or Al-Mudawwara | Import declaration in the importerโs name, duty and sales tax | The Jordanian agent |
| Approvals | Food, drug and standards by product | The importer before the truck arrives |
| Delivery | To the importerโs warehouse or the free zone | Alfaris |
๐ก Approvals before loading, not after
A truck waiting for approval at the border incurs daily waiting charges and its goods may suffer. Ask the importer to obtain approvals before loading; we send them the invoice and packing list early.
Customs duty and sales tax in Jordan
Jordan is not in the GCC customs union, so Saudi goods are treated as imports. But both countries are in the Greater Arab Free Trade Area, so goods of Saudi origin meeting the rules of origin may be exempt from customs duty with an attested certificate of origin, while the 16% general sales tax and some product-specific charges remain.
| Item | What you need to know |
|---|---|
| Saudi origin | An attested certificate of origin opens the duty exemption |
| Non-Arab origin | Duty by tariff line under the Jordanian tariff |
| General sales tax | 16% on most goods |
| Special-tax goods | Some goods carry extra charges by type |
| Tariff line | Sets the applicable rate, so describe goods precisely on the invoice |
Commercial shipment documents
| Document | Issued by | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial invoice | Exporter | Value, currency, description and terms of sale |
| Packing list | Exporter | Number of packages, weights and dimensions |
| Certificate of origin | Chamber of commerce | Attested |
| Commercial registration | Exporter and importer | Valid |
| Health or conformity certificates | Relevant authorities | For food, appliances and standards-controlled goods |
| Bill of lading | Carrier | Road or sea |

| A dyna of finishing materials from Riyadh | Dyna price | SAR 1,990 |
| A trailer of dry food from Dammam | Trailer price | SAR 5,500 |
๐ก When does a trailer beat a part load?
