Shipping and Removals in Saudi Arabia


Shipping your goods to Saudi Arabia can be expensive: the price is effected by whether you use sea or air freight, the size of the load, and how well insured it is. Since compounds often provide furnished accommodation, and plenty of amenities, think carefully about what you need to ship out – it may be very little indeed.

The customs list of prohibited items is long: alcohol, fashion magazines, games of chance, statues, Bibles, binoculars, medicines without a prescription, and even Christmas trees cannot be brought into the country.

To ship a pet over one requires an Import Permit, vaccination certificate, health certificate and the animal must be quarantined in a IATA approved kennel. You are strongly advised to employ the services of a professional pet import service such as www.petrelocation.com
