Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Oman handling car, furniture, goods and parcel shipping with full customs clearance at the Empty Quarter and Ramlat Khaylah crossings, from every Saudi city to Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Ibri and Salalah. Transit is 4 to 7 days depending on your city, with prices starting from SAR 260 per parcel, SAR 1,600 for one room and SAR 2,200 per car.
What worries people shipping to Oman most is not the road but customs: will the shipment be held? Will duty be charged on furniture? What does the car need? So this guide focuses on clearance on both sides step by step, alongside the route from each city, prices, car shipping and delivery.

🔋 Electric cars and the customs triptyque
Electric cars travel on an enclosed carrier with special securing and the battery at a medium charge, with their nature declared in the documents. If you want to drive your car in Oman temporarily without registering it there, a customs triptyque or temporary crossing permit may be required; if your move is permanent, export and Omani registration is the right route.
🧳 Suitcases and cartons
From any city, send your suitcases and cartons to Oman by road instead of paying excess baggage. Each suitcase is sealed in film and joins the next consolidation run, from SAR 260 per piece.
🛒 Online stores
A regular distribution lane for Saudi stores selling in Oman: collection from your warehouse in any city and consolidated shipping to Muscat, with the invoice and certificate of origin.
🛡️ Guarantees and insurance

Oman applies a general 5% customs duty and 5% VAT on taxable imports, with used belongings of residents and returning citizens usually exempt. Declarations are filed through Oman’s Bayan system. In the reverse direction, many goods need a Saudi conformity certificate through the SABER platform.

🗓️ Shipping steps from your city
🌴 Salalah in the khareef season: when to ship there
Salalah and Dhofar differ from the rest of Oman: from mid-June to mid-September the “khareef” brings drizzle, high humidity and fog on the mountain roads leading there. Shipping to Salalah in this season is possible, but it needs stronger moisture-proof packing and may add a day to the road. If your date is flexible, shipping before or after the khareef is cheaper and easier.
📅 How Saudi origin regions differ for Oman
| Origin region | Advantage | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern Province & Al-Ahsa | Closest to the road to the Empty Quarter | Regular trips and lower prices |
| Riyadh & Qassim | Near-daily trips | Choose the direct crossing, not the UAE |
| Jeddah, Makkah & Madinah | Sea option to Salalah for containers | The longest land distance |
| South and north | Weekly consolidation runs | Book early |
⚖️ Criteria for choosing a shipping company to Oman
🔁 From Oman to Saudi cities
We ship in reverse from Muscat, Sohar and Salalah to Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and other cities, with clearance at both crossings and delivery and reassembly. Returning residents’ used belongings are exempt when the conditions are met, and import data is filed via Fasah. If you are buying a car in Oman, check the Saudi used-car import conditions before buying.
For offices and fine rugs from any city: office furniture is numbered by department and equipment wrapped in anti-static covers, and rugs are rolled with a moisture absorber. Remember that flammables are prohibited in land furniture shipments.
🏙️ Shipping to Oman from each region
Eastern Province & Al-Ahsa: the closest starting point to the road leading to the Empty Quarter, with the lowest prices. Riyadh & Qassim: near-daily trips via Haradh. Madinah & Tabuk: loads are consolidated in Riyadh before departure. Jeddah & Makkah: a long land route, or a sea option to Salalah for full containers. The south: weekly trips consolidated via Riyadh.
