third party logistics usa: below are the numbers that actually matter in Saudi practice — rates, transit times, paperwork — with Masar ready to run it end to end.
Start from the framework: Reference figures for 2026: brokerage SAR 500–1,500 per declaration, dry storage SAR 20–45 per pallet-month in Riyadh/Jeddah/Dammam, full trucks between the main cities from a few hundred dollars. Below roughly 10–15 containers monthly, outsourcing beats an in-house team on cost alone.
On the the USA lane specifically: sea freight to Saudi ports takes 25–40 days and air 3–7 days; typical cargo includes industrial equipment, medical devices, vehicles and spare parts, specialty foods. Main routings: New York, Savannah or Houston to Jeddah; West Coast cargo routes via transshipment. US–Saudi shipments are document-heavy: medical devices and vehicles carry extra conformity steps, and transit is the longest of the main corridors. Air freight at 3–7 days is the standard choice for urgent industrial spares.
With third party logistics usa, certificates ready before sailing beat any discount on freight.
