Saudi Arabia Container Shipping Cost
You're already decked out by scheduling the packing of various rooms around your hectic schedule, and now someone reminds you that you also need to research moving companies and select one. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and frustrated as the process progresses.
Three Movers is an international shipping company that will not only provide you with top-notch container shipping service and expert consultation on your analysis but will also walk you through the daunting task of relocating to Saudi Arabia.
What Are the Factors That Affect the Cost of Shipping?
When planning such a large financial undertaking, cost management becomes the most important factor. You must be well-versed in all of the niches so that you can wisely plan every dollar spent, which will ultimately make a significant difference.
Some of the general factors you should consider are:
- The nature and weight of your cargo will determine which container you use: 20', 20' cube, 40', 40' cube, flat-racked, etc. The Saudi Arabian government prohibits the import of masks, playing cards, poisons (toxins), smart cards, Pokémon toys, tobacco advertisements, counterfeit goods, and a variety of other items that require prior licensing.
- The distance between Saudi Arabia and the United States is 7,507 miles, which is a large number in comparison to other nearby countries. This will have a direct impact on your fuel consumption per mile. To save money on fuel further, you can use different ports, like Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port, or King Fahad Industrial Port Yanbu, among others.
- Due to high demand and price increases, the peak season for moving containers should be avoided. The months of August to October are considered to be the peak moving season in the United States.
What Size of Container Is According To Your Requirements?
Clients have a variety of container requirements. All moving companies should have a variety of options to choose from, whether it's for a refrigerated or thermally inducted environment to support their cargo.
Here are some of ours:
- Dry freight containers/Dry storage containers;
- Swap body containers/Swap bodies;
- Cargo storage roll containers;
- Intermediate bulk shift containers (IBC);
- Drum containers/cylindrical containers.
Then some are based on the client's ownership:
- Individual occupancy is the basis for Full Container Load (FCL). These are exclusively booked and arrive at the destination according to the client's time requirements. These are expensive, with prices starting at $1,045.00 for a 20' container.
- LCL stands for Less Than a Container Load and refers to multiple ownership. These are the most cost-effective options, with money charged per cubic meter (CBM). There are weight restrictions, and you must be considerate of the schedules of others when the shipment is delivered to the destination. Prices per CBM could start at $84.70.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a good idea to acquire air cargo insurance for your shipment, even if it’s not required by law.
As your freight passes through numerous hands, vehicles, and ports, it is subject to a substantial amount of threat.
Cargo insurance protects you from financial loss if your products are damaged or lost. If your freight is damaged by a covered incident, it pays you the amount you’re insured for. Natural catastrophes, transportation mishaps, cargo abandonment, customs rejection, acts of war, and piracy are all examples of common occurrences that are covered.
The container load determines the amount of space necessary for unloading.
Because a 20-foot container has a usable size of 25-28 cubic meters, you’ll need a lot of space to empty it. This storage space is comparable to ten or eleven conventional pallets.
The following products are subject to additional limitations when sent to Saudi Arabia:

A shipper (someone who sources and/or owns the items, also known as a consignor) receives a Bill of Lading from a shipping company. It means the products have arrived in excellent shape and are ready to be transported. The products will then be delivered to the agreed-upon location by the shipper.
For all shipments, a Bill of Lading is necessary. The use of a Bill of Lading is required when transporting freight from point A to point B. (BoL). They’re legally binding paperwork that prove ownership of the things being transported.
It’s better to look over Saudi Arabia’s import regulations to see what documents are necessary. If you do not have all of the needed documentation, your cargo may be delayed or even prevented from reaching its final destination.
To avoid delays and guarantee that your shipment arrives on time, prepare the required papers ahead of time. These are some of the most common papers required when shipping a container overseas:
● Commercial and Proforma Invoices
● Bills of Lading
● Packing List
● Shipper’s Letter of Instructions (SLI)
● Automated Export System (AES) Filing
● Certificate of Origin (CO)
● Incoterms
● Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
● Operational Instructions
● Shipping Under a Letter of Credit
The FCL routes and processes are both simple. After you’ve placed your items inside, the container will not be opened or changed. It is delivered promptly to the target port, as stipulated in your contract.
Dealing with several consignees, delivering items to multiple ports, and reworking cargoes are all part of LCL shipping. That process is the main reason why this type of shipment takes longer to arrive.
