Frequently Asked Questions
QWhich ports and airports does my cargo move through?
Sea cargo leaves from Hamburg and Bremerhaven, with feeder connections via Rotterdam and lands at Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam. Air cargo departs Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC) and lands at whichever Saudi airport is closest to your buyer: Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam.
QHow long does it take?
Sea freight is typically 4 to 6 weeks port to port, depending on the sailing and transshipment. Air freight is typically 3 to 6 days. Urgent spare parts move on the next available flight; see our urgent freight service.
QWhat if my company has no Saudi entity?
We act as your Importer of Record: we handle the SABER requirements and are the importer named on the FASAH customs declaration, so no Saudi company is needed on your side.
QWhat do I need to arrange before the cargo leaves Germany?
On your side: German export declaration in the customs ATLAS system, and the exit confirmation that lets you zero-rate German VAT and a certificate of origin issued by your local IHK (chamber of industry and commerce). On the Saudi side, we handle your SABER registration and certification end to end, the FASAH declaration, duties and the 15% VAT.
QWhich Incoterm should I use?
FOB gives you control of the international leg and the Saudi-side costs, and is what we recommend for most first shipments. DDP puts us in control end to end, which suits exporters who want one invoice and no local coordination. We confirm the right structure before you book.
QWhat shipment sizes do you handle?
By sea we ship full container loads (20 ft and 40 ft FCL). For smaller or urgent shipments we quote commercial air freight.
