Package forwarding to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia waives duty on personal online orders under SAR 1,000 — counting shipping and insurance — but charges 15% VAT from the first riyal. With Hormuz closed and the Red Sea under threat, air is the practical route.
What makes importing into Saudi Arabia less simple than it looks
Sea freight from Europe is no longer the default
Dammam and Jubail sit inside the Gulf; Jeddah and Yanbu on the Red Sea carry the bypass traffic, but Saudi-linked ships are the Houthis' stated target. For a few boxes, flying from our warehouses is simpler.
VAT is due from the first riyal
The SAR 1,000 line only waives customs duty. ZATCA charges 15% VAT on every import, on a base that includes the duty and fees — so budget it on every order, not just the big ones.
Shipping counts towards the SAR 1,000
The threshold is the total value including shipping and insurance. Consolidating several orders saves freight, but the combined box is what gets measured against the line.

What a parcel into Saudi Arabia pays (2026)
For personal purchases from online stores, ZATCA exempts the shipment from customs duty when its total value — goods, shipping and insurance — is below SAR 1,000. VAT is a different story: it is charged at 15% on imports of any value, and its base includes the duty and fees. Above the threshold, most goods pay the GCC common tariff of 5% (some lines are higher) and then VAT on top.
Some goods are restricted whatever the value: alcohol and pork products are prohibited, and medicines, supplements and cosmetics fall under the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. If you import to resell, the rules change completely: the importer needs a commercial registration and a customs registration with ZATCA, and regulated products need SABER certificates for each shipment.
| Item | Rule (2026) |
|---|---|
| Duty exemption | Personal e-store orders under SAR 1,000 |
| What the SAR 1,000 includes | Goods + shipping + insurance |
| VAT | 15% at any value; base includes duty and fees |
| Customs duty above the line | 5% GCC common tariff on most goods (some higher) |
| Importing to resell | Commercial registration + ZATCA registration + SABER certificates |

Confirme sempre com a alfândega do seu país. Informational only — not customs or tax advice. Treatment depends on classification and on whether you import personally or commercially.

Why air is the practical route into the Gulf right now (November 2026)
Since early March 2026 the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to normal commercial traffic: the US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on 28 February, and transits have been a small fraction of pre-crisis levels ever since. Jebel Ali, the region's main container port, handled around 90% fewer containers in the second quarter than a year earlier, and the Red Sea route is still under Houthi threat.
In Saudi Arabia, Dammam and Jubail are inside the Gulf; Jeddah and Yanbu on the Red Sea carry the bypass traffic, but the Red Sea itself is under Houthi threat. In October 2026 Houthi attacks on Saudi airports cancelled around 45% of flights nationwide between 8 and 25 October; Jeddah kept operating.
For a few boxes or a few pallets, a container with detours, bypass ports and trucking is no longer the tool. Our shipments fly from our warehouses in Europe, the USA, China and Hong Kong. Air is not immune either: airlines operate under EASA conflict-zone advisories, some routes are suspended at short notice and risk surcharges apply. So we do not promise transit times: the quoter shows the services available today and, for pallets, we confirm the routing when we quote.
- Boxes for individuals: buy from European or US shops, we combine them into one air shipment.
- Regular shippers (resellers, online shops): same warehouse, same routine, every week.
- Companies and pallets: we consolidate suppliers onto one pallet and fly it as air cargo.

Shops Gulf buyers forward from (2026)
These are shops we checked on their own websites: none of them delivers to the Gulf, or only part of the catalogue does. With your address in the US, the UK or Spain you buy as a local customer, and we combine everything into one air shipment.
We left out the big names that already deliver to the Gulf themselves, such as Zara, Next or ASOS: there you do not need us.
| Shop | From | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Kohl's | USA | Does not ship internationally; it ships to US addresses only. It may not accept non-US cards. |
| Walmart.com | USA | International shipping only to Canada and Mexico. |
| Argos | UK | Delivers only to UK addresses. |
| John Lewis | UK | “We don't offer international delivery.” |
| Decathlon.es | Spain | Delivers only in Spain and Andorra. |
| El Corte Inglés | Spain | Ships fashion abroad, but electronics, home, sport and baby products stay within the EU. |
| Vinted | Spain, France, Italy, Germany | Cross-border shipping only inside its own European markets — no route to the Gulf. |
| Wallapop | Spain, Italy | Operates only in Spain, Italy and Portugal, shipping only between them. |
Última atualização: November 2026. Checked on the shops' own websites in November 2026. Delivery policies change — check before ordering. Some shops refuse non-local cards or forwarding addresses; we cannot guarantee a shop accepts your order.

Thousands of global shoppers trust Resendify
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Forwarding packages to Saudi Arabia
For personal purchases from online stores, customs duty is waived when the total value — goods, shipping and insurance — is below SAR 1,000. VAT at 15% still applies at any value.
Yes. ZATCA charges 15% VAT on imports of any value, and the base includes the duty and fees. Budget it on every order.
Not as a personal shipment. Commercial imports need a commercial registration, a customs registration with ZATCA and, for regulated products, SABER certificates. For regular commercial volumes, ask us for a quote and we will plan it with you.
Yes, though it changes week to week: airlines operate under conflict-zone advisories, some routes are suspended at short notice and risk surcharges apply. The quoter shows the services available today for your lane; we do not promise transit times.
