If you searched for the best shipping company, you need specifics, not brochures. Here they are — and Masar turns them into a working shipment.
The rules of the lane: 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.
Freight into Saudi Arabia moves by sea to Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam (China 18–35 days, Europe 14–22, India 10–18), by air to Riyadh/Jeddah/Dammam in 2–5 days door-to-door, and by road from the GCC in 1–3 days. Customs clearance adds 1–3 working days with certificates ready.
