Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Riyadh to Jordan moving cars, appliances, cartons, furniture and goods from any Riyadh district to Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, Salt and Aqaba by land through the Al-Haditha → Al-Omari crossing in 3 to 5 days. Prices start from SAR 240 per carton, SAR 290 per appliance, SAR 1,480 for one room and SAR 1,180 per car, with packing and clearance on both sides.
Jordan is the first destination on our list outside the GCC, and that changes the rules: no Gulf customs union, a 16% Jordanian sales tax, strict limits on the age of cars entering permanently, and a special exemption system for the belongings of Jordanians returning from abroad. So the right company from Riyadh to Jordan is one that understands Jordanian customs before it understands the road. This guide covers the route and prices, then spends time on documents, exemptions and car conditions.

📺 Shipping appliances and cartons to Jordan
Most people shipping from Riyadh to Jordan send more appliances and cartons than large furniture: a fridge, washer and TV for a family in Amman, or cartons of clothes and belongings for someone returning home. These travel consolidated at a per-item or volume price, and need special care at Jordanian customs because new appliances attract sales tax.
| Shipment | Preparation | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| Carton of clothes and belongings | Medium carton up to 25 kg, numbered with contents written | SAR 240 |
| Suitcase | Wrapped in heat film | SAR 240 |
| Fridge or washer | Emptied and dried, drum locked with transit bolts | SAR 290 |
| TV and screens | Double carton with foam corners | SAR 290 |
| Air conditioner | Removed by a technician with gas held | Request a quote |
🚗 Car shipping from Riyadh to Jordan
Shipping a car to Jordan comes with a condition you will not find in the Gulf: limits on the car’s age at permanent entry, set by Jordanian regulations and changed from time to time. So the first thing we do is check your car’s model before any talk of price. There are two routes:
| Method | When it suits you | What is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent entry | Settling in Jordan or selling there | Fines settled, Saudi plates cancelled and export plates issued, export certificate, and the model matching Jordanian conditions |
| Temporary entry | A visit for a set period, then return | A customs triptyque or temporary permit; the car keeps its plates |
| Via the free zone | Selling the car or deferring duties | Entry into the Zarqa Free Zone pending a clearance decision |
Prices cover transport to the Jordanian border and clearance; Jordanian customs duties on the car are calculated by type and value and paid at clearance.

📦 Commercial goods to Jordan
Because Jordan is outside the GCC customs union, a GCC certificate of origin is not enough; Saudi products benefit from the exemptions of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area with a certified Arab certificate of origin. We prepare the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list with you, and ship consolidated from SAR 15 per kg or by full truck. For heavy equipment and containers: by sea from Jeddah to Aqaba port.

The returnee exemption: Jordanian customs allow personal effects and used furniture of Jordanians returning from residence abroad to be exempt, under conditions set by Jordanian regulations such as the length of residence abroad and the type of items; the exemption is requested at clearance at Al-Omari. Sales tax in Jordan is 16% on taxable goods, usually including new appliances. In the reverse direction into the Kingdom, many goods need a conformity certificate through the SABER platform.

✈️ A final-return plan to Jordan
Many of our customers on this lane are Jordanians returning for good after years of work in the Kingdom. A final return means a home, a car and exemption papers in one trip, and any mistake in arranging it costs duties that could have been avoided:
🏢 Amman’s buildings and delivery
Amman is a city of hills: steep streets, old buildings without lifts in areas like Jabal Al Hussein and Jabal Amman, and modern districts with lifts in Abdoun, Khalda and Dabouq. So we confirm the building type with the customer before departure, and send a dyna for last-mile delivery on narrow streets and a stair-climber or extra labour for upper floors.
📋 Documents by customer type
| Customer | What is needed |
|---|---|
| Jordanian returning for good | Jordanian passport, proof of residence in the Kingdom, contents list, authorisation |
| Non-Jordanian resident moving to Jordan | Saudi iqama, Jordanian residence or work permit, contents list |
| Student at a Jordanian university | ID or iqama, university admission, a short contents list |
| Company or trader | Commercial registration, invoice, Arab certificate of origin, Jordanian importer’s registration |
🧮 What sets the price to Jordan?
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
