Shipping from Shanghai to Saudi Arabia

From Shanghai to your door anywhere in Saudi Arabia — by sea or air, cleared under our own Saudi import license.

Shanghai is China's largest commercial city, and the Port of Shanghai is the busiest container port in the world. Factories across the Yangtze River Delta make industrial machinery, equipment, auto parts, textiles and chemicals. Air cargo leaves from Pudong International Airport.

We collect your goods from the factory or market in Shanghai, check them, and ship them by sea or air to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, or by air to Jeddah, Riyadh or Dammam. Air freight typically takes 8–12 days; sea freight typically 40–65 days LCL or 35–50 days for a full container.

On arrival we clear the cargo under our own Saudi general import license — SABER/SASO, customs duty and VAT included — and deliver it to any city in the Kingdom with one agreed price and live tracking.
