We work with customers to ship personal vehicles when moving to Saudi Arabia due to work, school, or family matters.

We offer car shipping to the port of Dammam in 20ft and 40ft containers. 

If you need us to pick up the vehicle we can arrange the delivery from any state within the USA. 

The inland rate will depend on the distance from Linden, NJ. 

As a reminder, the rate is good to the port of arrival. You will be subject to destination charges like port charges in Saudi Arabia, customs, clearance, handling fees, and unloading charges. 

Also, the Saudi government will charge 5% of the value of the vehicle for import taxes as well as 15% VAT. The government of Saudi Arabia allows the import of small vehicles, buses, and light transport vehicles up to 3.5 tons or less. The vehicle must not exceed five years. The calculation is in descending order with the exception of the current year. Vehicles 30 years and older are allowed for import.

Shipping Options

CONTAINER

By using a container for shipping, we can load anywhere from 1 to 6 cars (depending on size), the vehicles can either run and drive, or be project cars. We offer consolidation when shipping to the port, saving you money by shipping your vehicles along with other cars in the same container. When shipping high-value vehicles, we can load them in their own dedicated 20ft or 40ft containers.

RORO

Shipping via Roll-on/Roll-off is another option when shipping cars overseas. However, unlike with containarized car shipping, you cannot ship anything inside of your vehicle, and the car be in run and drive condition to be able to drive on and off the ship. The ports which support RoRo vary widely, and so do the rates.

AIRPLANE

If you require your vehicle overseas as quickly as possible, we recommend shipping the car via Air-Freight service. Compared to lengthy shipping times and possible port delays when shipping in a container or via RoRo, shipping your car by Air is the quickest shipping options. Transit time is estimated at around 3 to 10 days, depending on the documentation and customs requirements.

Motorcycle Shipping Overseas
How Motorcycles Are Shipped Overseas

Motorcycles are a popular import from the US, and most customers use a container. You can fit up to 8 motorcycles in a 20ft container and up to 16 in a 40ft container. They are securely strapped and braced. This makes it the perfect solution for wholesale buyers and dealers. Use the shipping calculator on this page to get a quote, or contact us.

Another option is shipping your motorcycle via air freight to any international airport. It's a more expensive option, and it requires a custom crate to be built around the bike. However, air freight will minimize transit time.
