• Sort before the survey; worn pieces can cost more than their replacement — see how to sort your furniture.
• Iraq is outside the GCC customs union, so read the quote carefully — see how to read a shipping quote.
• Compare shipping cost with a replacement in Iraq — see ship your furniture or buy new.

We ship cars from Jeddah to every city in Iraq on open or enclosed carriers, photographing the car’s condition before loading and after delivery, from SAR 1,650 for a sedan on an open carrier. Check Iraqi car import conditions and duties before deciding.

• A valid registration and clearance of traffic fines before shipping.
• An official authorisation if the shipper isn’t the registered owner.
• The car emptied of personal belongings, which ship separately.

A preparation timeline

How to compare shipping companies

• Does the price include packing, loading, clearance and door delivery?
• Where exactly does the price end — door or warehouse?
• Will you give me an itemised quote?
• What is the lifting fee if there is no lift?
• Is there insurance, and on what value?

The full list is in questions to ask a shipping company before you pay, and how to read a quote in how to read a shipping quote.

Common costly mistakes

• Choosing the cheapest without comparing what the price covers.
• A vague packing list means the shipment is opened at the border.
• A forgotten restricted item in a storeroom box.
• No coordination with the destination building management.
• Signing before checking — all the mistakes are in common international shipping mistakes.

Truck types for shipping from Jeddah to Iraq

We choose the truck by the size and type of shipment, so you don’t pay for space you don’t need:

What happens on loading day?

How each piece is packed

Office and company moves to Iraq

We move offices and branches to Iraq: office furniture, computers and servers, archives and safes, with cables and devices numbered, anti-static packing for sensitive equipment, and delivery outside working hours in commercial towers.

Temporary storage

If your Iraq home isn’t ready when the shipment arrives, we arrange temporary storage in a secure warehouse until handover, with the cost stated in the quote.

Tracking and communication

• A shipment number and bill of lading at loading.
• An update at every stage: loading, border arrival, crossing, arrival in the emirate, delivery.
• One responsible person with a direct number throughout.
• Immediate notice of any border delay and its cause.

Delivery in Baghdad and Iraqi cities

Special cases

Shipping from Iraq to Saudi Arabia

We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from Baghdad, Basra, Najaf and every Iraqi city to every Saudi city via Jadidat Arar.

Shipping appliances and electronics to Iraq

Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. Iraq runs at about 230 V and 50 Hz against 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia, with outages and wide use of generators, so use voltage stabilisers for sensitive appliances, and new appliances in quantity may be treated as goods, so check motor-driven appliances.

Insuring your shipment

Carrier liability is capped and doesn’t always cover real value, while cargo insurance covers the declared value within covered risks. We recommend it for whole-house moves, valuable appliances and cars, and show the premium separately in the quote — see international cargo insurance.

How to choose a shipping company to Iraq

Clearance in Iraq: what to know

Iraq is outside the GCC customs union, so duties depend on the shipment and its value. Personal effects and used furniture for returnees are usually treated more easily with documents proving return, while goods and new appliances in quantity are treated as goods, and some items may need prior approvals. A broker at Jadidat Arar handles procedures, and we review your file before shipping — see how to read a shipping quote to know what the price covers.

Sea freight from Jeddah to Umm Qasr

For full containers and large quantities there is a sea option from Jeddah Islamic Port to Umm Qasr port in Basra, sailing around the Arabian Peninsula and slower than road, but suited to Basra, the south and full containers.
