Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait moving cars, furniture, dates, farm equipment, parcels and cargo from Hofuf, Mubarraz and the Al-Ahsa villages via the coastal road to the Khafji → Nuwaiseeb crossing, then Al Ahmadi, the Capital, Hawalli, Farwaniya and Al Jahra, and the Wafra and Abdali farms, in 2 to 3 days. Prices start from SAR 210 per parcel, SAR 1,550 for a room of furniture, SAR 1,950 for a flat and SAR 1,700 for a car.
Al-Ahsa is a major farming oasis, and Kuwait has active farming areas at Wafra in the south and Abdali in the north, linked by palms, dates and agriculture. So shipping from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait ranges from home and car moves for families and employees, to supplying dates to Kuwaiti markets, to shipping pumps, irrigation equipment and farm supplies to Kuwaiti farm owners. The road is relatively short via the coast and the Khafji crossing, so shipments arrive in two to three days.
🚗 Shipping your car from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait
We ship the car as an export on a carrier from Al-Ahsa to the Khafji crossing; it’s cleared at Nuwaiseeb in the receiver’s name and registered with Kuwait’s General Traffic Department after technical inspection. For farm owners we also ship pickups and light farm vehicles.
| Car | Method | Starts from | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | Road carrier | SAR 1,700 | 2–3 days |
| SUV or farm pickup | Enclosed or open carrier | SAR 1,950 | 2–3 days |
| Luxury | Dedicated carrier with a protective cover | Request a quote | 2 days |

🛣️ From Hofuf to Khafji
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| Loading in Hofuf or Mubarraz and filing the declaration on Fasah | Morning of day one |
| Al-Ahsa → Dammam or Abqaiq → Jubail | A few hours |
| Jubail → Khafji, then clearance at Nuwaiseeb | Day one or two |
| Al Ahmadi, Wafra and the Capital | Day two |
| Farwaniya, Al Jahra and Abdali | Day two or three |
We add small Al-Ahsa shipments to the frequent Dammam runs to Kuwait, so they don’t wait long. Sea isn’t needed for household goods; an FCL container or sea LCL consolidation from Dammam port to Shuwaikh remains an option for very heavy goods only.
🌴 From Al-Ahsa to the Wafra and Abdali farms
Farm owners in Wafra and Abdali order palm-growing supplies from Al-Ahsa: pumps and drip-irrigation equipment, pruning and pollination tools, and small date-pressing and packing machines. We ship them in closed trucks or on trailers and deliver straight to the farm. Palm offshoots and seedlings can’t be shipped without agricultural permits and plant quarantine on both sides.

|---|---|---|
| Pumps and irrigation equipment | Closed truck or trailer | Customs status set for used items |
| Small date-packing equipment | Closed truck, secured | Invoice and certificate of origin |
| Commercial Khalas dates | Air-conditioned or refrigerated truck | A GCC certificate of origin exempts them from duty |

⚠️ Common mistakes
⚖️ How to choose a shipping company from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait
🧳 Suitcases and boxes for students and employees
For Al-Ahsa students studying in Kuwait and employees moving there, we collect suitcases and boxes from home and deliver to Kuwait housing in two to three days, from SAR 210 per suitcase or box, instead of paying airline excess or cramming the car.
✈️ Urgent air freight
For documents and small urgent parts, air freight via King Fahd Airport in Dammam reaches Kuwait Airport in one to two days, charged by actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. But road via Khafji is so fast it competes with air in most cases.
💭 Ship or sell?
Al-Ahsa’s prices to Kuwait are among the lowest in the Kingdom, so most good furniture is worth shipping. Don’t ship worn mattresses, light old furniture or appliances that keep breaking; ship majlis seating, good bedrooms, recent appliances and carpets.
🔁 From Kuwait to Al-Ahsa
We also move shipments from Kuwait to Al-Ahsa for returnees and traders, taking into account SABER platform requirements for regulated products, 15% VAT and the Kingdom’s used-car import rules.
