If you searched for import from dubai, you need specifics, not brochures. Here they are — and Modjo turns them into a working shipment.
The Saudi baseline first: Commercial importing into Saudi Arabia needs four things: a CR with import activity, a FASAH importer number, the right certificates (SABER for most goods, SFDA for food/cosmetics/medical), and a cleared declaration — duty mostly 5% plus 15% VAT. First-time setup takes days; each shipment clears in 1–3 working days.
On the the UAE lane specifically: sea freight to Saudi ports takes 2–4 days and air 1–2 days; typical cargo includes re-exported electronics, machinery, foodstuffs and consumer goods consolidated in Dubai free zones. Main routings: Jebel Ali (Dubai) to Jeddah, Dammam or directly by truck via the Al Batha border crossing. The UAE–Saudi corridor is the fastest import route into the Kingdom: road freight crosses in 1–3 days door to door, and GCC-origin goods with a valid certificate of origin may qualify for preferential duty treatment. Re-exports of non-GCC goods pay standard rates.
