Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Dammam to Morocco moving final-return furniture, retirees’ and returnees’ cars, boxes and cargo from Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail to Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes, Tangier and Agadir, trucking the container to Jeddah Islamic Port and sailing to Tanger Med or Casablanca in 4 to 6 weeks. Prices start from SAR 295 per box, SAR 2,050 per room by consolidated shipping, SAR 8,400 for a 20 ft container and SAR 5,500 for a small car by RoRo.
The Eastern Province has many Moroccan nurses, doctors, engineers and technicians, some of whom have spent more than twenty years in Dhahran, Khobar and Jubail, and some have reached retirement age. They ask about the car before the furniture, because Moroccan customs give retirees among Moroccans abroad a big privilege on a new car, and returnees in general a discount on a used one. This guide starts with the car, then the road from the Eastern Province to Jeddah, then furniture and documents.
🚗 The car first: what will clearance cost?
| Your situation | Privilege | Key conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Resident abroad aged 60 or over | A reduction of up to 90% of the dutiable value | 10+ years abroad, one new passenger car, no sale for 5 years, attending in person |
| Final returnee among Moroccans abroad | A three-year age discount (up to 25%) | One passenger car, privilege not used before |
| Regular import without a privilege | Nothing | Full duties plus 20% VAT, and used cars older than five years are generally not accepted |
Once clearance is calculated, we move the car from Dammam to Jeddah on an enclosed carrier under a protective cover, then it ships RoRo or inside a container with the furniture:
| Method | When it suits you | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| RoRo to Tanger Med or Casablanca | A car on its own | SAR 5,500 for a small car |

| A container for a new luxury car | Full protection for the new car | Request a quote |

🧳 Final-return privileges for furniture
