Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Al-Ahsa to Jordan moving household furniture, cars, returnees’ belongings, dates, farm equipment and parcels from Hofuf, Mubarraz and the Al-Ahsa villages to Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Mafraq and the Jordan Valley, by road via Hafr Al-Batin and Al-Jouf to the Al Haditha → Al Omari crossing in 4 to 6 days. Prices start from SAR 240 per box, SAR 1,650 for a room of furniture, SAR 2,300 for a flat and SAR 1,300 for a car.
Many Jordanians work in Al-Ahsa at the university, hospitals, schools and in agriculture, some having spent decades in the oasis. When it’s time to return, the Jordanian home in Al-Ahsa carries spacious furniture, a car and years of memories, and sometimes farm equipment for a farm in the Jordan Valley or Mafraq. The road from Al-Ahsa to Jordan heads north via Hafr Al-Batin and Al-Jouf to the Al Haditha crossing, so it needs advance planning of the returnee exemption file and the car decision.
🚗 Shipping your car from Al-Ahsa to Jordan
The price covers transport and clearance to the Jordanian side; customs duties are calculated by the car’s type, value and engine size and paid at clearance. Jordan has strict age rules for cars entering permanently; we review your car before shipping, and if it isn’t eligible we suggest selling it in Al-Ahsa or putting it into the Zarqa free zone to sell there. Before shipping you get export plates and an export certificate from Al-Ahsa traffic after settling fines and releasing any lien.

🛣️ From Hofuf to Al Haditha
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| Loading in Hofuf or Mubarraz and filing the declaration on Fasah | Day one |
| Al-Ahsa → Hafr Al-Batin | Days one and two |
| Hafr Al-Batin → Al-Jouf → Qurayyat | Days two and three |
| Al Haditha crossing and clearance at Al Omari | Day four |
| Al Omari → Amman, Zarqa and Irbid | Days four to six |
We add Al-Ahsa shipments to Eastern Province runs heading to Jordan, so they don’t wait for a dedicated truck. The Halat Ammar crossing serves shipments from the west and Tabuk and doesn’t suit Al-Ahsa. Sea from Dammam to Aqaba goes around the peninsula and only makes sense for huge commercial FCL containers, while sea LCL consolidation doesn’t suit household goods.
🧳 The returnee exemption file from Al-Ahsa
Jordanian customs grant Jordanians returning from residence abroad an exemption on personal effects and used furniture under conditions — mainly the length of residence abroad and that items are used. Because many Jordanians in Al-Ahsa have lived here for years, the exemption is within reach if the file is complete:
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Jordanian passport | Proof of nationality and dates of residence abroad |
| Iqama or a letter from the university, hospital or employer | Proof of how long you lived in the Kingdom |
| Detailed packing list | Linking every box to its contents |
| New appliances and equipment separated | Because they’re treated as dutiable goods |
🌾 From the Al-Ahsa oasis to the Jordan Valley
Some Jordanian returnees from Al-Ahsa own farms in the Jordan Valley or Mafraq and ship pumps, drip-irrigation equipment and farm tools bought in Al-Ahsa. We ship them in closed trucks or on trailers with their invoices and deliver straight to the farm. Palm offshoots and seedlings can’t be shipped without agricultural permits and plant quarantine.
| Shipment | Method | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pumps and irrigation equipment | Closed truck or trailer | Invoices and customs status established |
| Used farm tools | In the shipment on a separate list | May be treated as goods |
| Khalas dates | Parcels or an air-conditioned truck | Invoice and certificate of origin for commercial quantities |
| Offshoots and seedlings | Not allowed without permits | We check requirements first |
