How You Can Ship to Khobar.

How to ship your car to Al Khobar is one of the easiest decisions you will make when planning your overseas transport. There are essentially only two ways to ship by sea: Ro/Ro or Container Shipping. Ro/Ro is the easiest, quickest, and least expensive way to ship a motorcar by sea. The automobile will be rolled onto the ship and then hauled from the United States to Al Khobar as quickly as possible. Once it reaches Al Khobar, it can be driven off and then directly driven to customs for the final clearance check before leaving the port. If you need to ship items along with your automobile you can ship them all, including the motorcar, inside of a special hauling container. The container, packed with the automobile and other moving content, will be placed on the cargo ship and then shipped to Al Khobar. Once it arrives at the port, it will be unloaded from the ship, and your personal content and automobile may be unloaded and can then proceed to the customs check for clearance. Some ports will allow containers while others will not, and some will allow Ro/Ro ships while others will not. When you are speaking to the carrier agent they will let you know which type of delivery will be accessible at the port of entry for Al Khobar.

Customs Checkpoint in Al Khobar

When you are making plans to ship your motorcar to Al Khobar, one of the first things you need to do, even before making the arrangements to have the vehicle shipped at all, is to contact the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to get updated information on customs rules and regulations and to make sure that anything you need to move to Al Khobar is going to be accepted when it reaches the port. You will also want to find out what may need to be done to your car before shipping to ensure that it will be considered up to the standards for motor vehicles in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is very strict on emissions and engine performance for automobiles. You cannot import a vehicle that has been in an accident or damaged in any way. You can also import your vehicle only if it is five years or less from the manufacture date at the time of importation. You will also need to make sure that you contact the Embassy to make sure that the paperwork necessary for the customs clearance check is all up to date and ready to provide to officials. Some of the paperwork that you will need includes:

• Passport.
• Residency Permit.
• Permit of Import for the car.
• Title of Motorcar.
• Registration of Automobile.
• Sales Invoice.
• Bill of Lading.
• Driver’s License.

In Saudi Arabia, you must have a valid Saudi Arabian driver’s license to drive. If you plan on driving your car to your new location, you will need to apply for a local driver’s license before your car arrives at the port. You will also not be able to get clearance from customs until you obtain a Saudi Arabian Driver’s license.
