Looking for dry bulk freight rates? Here is the practical picture for Saudi Arabia — real costs, timelines and requirements — and Modjo handles the whole process for you.
Start from the framework: Landed cost into Saudi Arabia = goods + freight + insurance (CIF) + duty (mostly 5%, 0–25% by HS code) + 15% VAT on CIF + duty + port and delivery charges. Indicative freight 2026: 20ft from China $1,300–2,600, air $2–6/kg, LCL $25–60/CBM, brokerage SAR 500–1,500.
Compare only all-in quotes: a low base rate with surcharges 'at cost' reassembles the market price at invoice time.
With dry bulk freight rates, certificates ready before sailing beat any discount on freight.
