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

| Medium closed truck | 5–10 tonnes | Two- or three-bedroom apartment |

| Flatbed | By load | Building materials and equipment |
| Multi-axle lowbed | Heavy loads | Construction equipment and machinery |
| Open or enclosed car carrier | Several cars | Car shipping |
What happens on loading day?
How each piece is packed
| Item | Packing |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Full dismantling, numbered bolt bags, blankets and stretch film. |
| Sofas | Fitted covers, then dust-proof film. |
| Glass and mirrors | Foam, corner guards and two rigid boards, carried upright. |

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.
| Appliance | Preparation |
|---|---|
| TVs | Foam and rigid cardboard, carried upright. |
| Fridges | Emptied and dried a day before; switch on hours after arrival. |
| Washers | Water drained and drum locked with transit bolts. |
| Computers | Back up data; anti-static packing. |
| Split ACs | Removed by a technician with the gas held in the outdoor unit. |
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.
