Shipping a Car to Jordan: Calculate the Fees and Conditions Before You Decide to Ship | 0551247117
Shipping a car from Saudi Arabia to Jordan: the right order for the decision, the factors that set the taxes, import conditions, documents and clearance of fines, transport method, and documenting the car's condition.
Before asking what it costs to ship your car from Saudi Arabia to Jordan, ask about the fees and taxes there. In many cases the taxes on a car in Jordan are far greater than the shipping cost itself, and can approach the car’s value. There may also be requirements that prevent some cars from being imported at all. In this guide we put the decision in the right order: fees and conditions first, then the market comparison, then shipping — and explain the documents, preparation and transport method.

The right order for the decision
Documents and preparation
| Required | Note |
|---|---|
| A valid registration | An expired one means refusal at the border. |
| Clearance of fines and liens | The car won’t leave with outstanding fines or a bank lien. |
| An official authorisation | If the person shipping isn’t the registered owner. |
| The owner’s ID and passport | For procedures on both sides. |
| Purchase invoice or proof of value | Helps with customs valuation. |
| Car emptied of personal belongings | Items inside the car are a separate shipment and aren’t left in it. |
| Fuel at a minimum | A common safety requirement in transport. |
Transport method
The trip usually passes the Haditha crossing, facing Jordan’s Al-Omari — see the Haditha and Al-Omari crossing.
Documenting the car’s condition
- Photograph the car from every side before handing it over, including the odometer.
- Note any existing scratches or dents on the handover report.
- Keep a copy of the report until delivery in Jordan.
- On arrival, inspect the car before signing.
If it is a final return
Jordanians returning permanently may be eligible for special treatment in some cases, but it is conditional and changes. Don’t base your decision on an expected exemption before confirming it officially. The rest of the return arrangements are in final return to Jordan, and fees in general in why Jordan’s fees differ from the Gulf.
