If you searched for shipping from italy, you need specifics, not brochures. Here they are — and Masar turns them into a working shipment.
What decides the outcome: Indicative 2026 rates: 20ft container from China $1,300–2,600, LCL $25–60/CBM, air cargo $2–6/kg, Dubai–Riyadh truck SAR 3,500–6,000. All-in landed cost — freight, port charges, duty 5%, VAT 15% — is the only number worth comparing.
On the Italy lane specifically: sea freight to Saudi ports takes 12–18 days and air 2–4 days; typical cargo includes furniture, marble and finishing materials, food products, fashion and machinery. Main routings: Genoa or La Spezia to Jeddah. Italian furniture, stone and finishing materials feed Saudi construction and hospitality projects. Project cargo benefits from consolidated LCL schedules; food lines require SFDA registration before sailing.
That is the honest frame for shipping from italy — the rest is execution.
Leave your number — a specialist replies within 30 minutes during Saudi working hours.
Sea: 10–35 days by origin; air: 2–5 days door-to-door; GCC road: 1–3 days — plus 1–3 working days customs clearance.
