One key reason to entrust your precious vehicle to us is the fact that our seasoned agents share this crucial knowledge, ensuring a smooth journey from the departure port in places like Baltimore, FL, or Germany through the tracking of ocean freight or air freight journey, in exclusive containers or otherwise, until your vehicle arrives safely at the destination port like Belgium.

How to Calculate Custom Taxes

The vehicle's value is based on the price list issued by the manufacturer, and depreciation rates are taken into account based on age.

  • A 6 months old or newer vehicle is considered new, and no deduction is taken.
  • A vehicle older than 6 months but less than a year is granted a monthly deduction rate of 2%
  • A vehicle 2 years to 5 years old will be granted a monthly deduction rate of 1%
  • The customs tax is calculated based on the vehicle's value (as calculated above) plus the freight cost and insurance.
  • The customs duty rate is a flat rate of 5% for regular cars and 12% for trucks.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAY ONLY IMPORT 1 VEHICLE PER YEAR INTO SAUDI ARABIA WITHOUT A COMMERCIAL PERMIT.

It is in your best interest to first contact the KSA Embassy in the US to double-check and verify that all the rules are still the same before making plans to ship your vehicle. With a competent auto transport company on your side, your vehicle's route to Saudi Arabia can be smooth.

Conveyance Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo

Many factors play into picking a shipping company to get your heavy equipment and oversized cargo overseas from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia. Distance, tariffs, import-export/policies, the type of cargo, and its size and weight are all considerations to consider. At A-1 Auto Transport, we simplify and streamline the process so you don’t have to. We can transport mostly anything under the sun and are ready to discuss your shipping needs. Working with a company with a wide assortment of freight and decades of conveyance experience is good. With A-1, you have that. In recent months, we have serviced clients who have needed to ship the following items:

  • Excavators
  • Backhoes
  • Boom Lifts
  • Tractors
  • Crawler Loaders
  • Cranes
  • Pontoon Boats
  • Industrial Plant Equipment
  • Concrete Mixers
  • Water Towers
  • Forklifts
  • Trenchers
  • And Many More!

International Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo Moving Options

  • Lift On/Lift Off - A ship with cranes to load and unload large or heavy cargo. It doesn't require any auxiliary crane equipment to load or unload freight. Costs are higher than those of other methods of transport because more deck space is needed, and special equipment must be employed to load the product. Perfect for oddly shaped items or supplies that can't be placed in a standard container.
  • Roll On/Roll Off - A cargo vessel designed to carry wheeled, self-propelled vehicles, trailers, or railroad cars that can roll onto and off of the ship. Usually, it is the least expensive way to transport due to the minimal resources involved.
  • Flat Rack - This shipping type is recommended for those with freight that won’t fit into a container. With this method, your cargo is secured to a rack or metal frame and then carefully placed on top of the cargo ship. Fits a wide variety of unique equipment
  • Container—This method can be the most expensive, yet it doesn’t apply to those looking for overseas heavy equipment importing services. If your cargo fits within a 40-foot shipping container, you may be eligible for this service. Container moving provides top-tier protection from outside sources, albeit in a confined storage space.

Once you have chosen a reliable shipping company, you must gather the necessary documentation, such as proof of ownership, insurance, and a bill of lading, to ensure a smooth process and compliance with Arabian customs regulations. Additionally, it is essential to evaluate the different methods available, such as container or roll-on/roll-off (RoRoRo) transport, to determine the most suitable option for transporting the car safely and efficiently to KSA. After exploring various hauling options, it is essential to understand the regulations and requirements for sending an automobile to Saudi Arabia.

Working with a hauler with experience in shipping vehicles to Saudi Arabia is advisable to ensure a smooth and hassle-free process.
