The road from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

Trucks from Saudi Arabia cross directly into the UAE at Al Batha (Saudi side) and Al Ghuwaifat (UAE side), then continue to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah or any emirate.

Full trailer or container

  • Full trailer (FTL): the whole truck for your goods, loaded at the supplier in Saudi Arabia and delivered to your warehouse in the UAE.
  • Container by road: a sealed container moved by truck across the border.
  • Smaller loads: tell us the volume and we advise the best option.

Documents and UAE customs

The load travels with the commercial invoice, the packing list, a certificate of origin and the road consignment note (CMR).

Goods of GCC national origin enter the UAE free of customs duty with a certificate of GCC origin. Goods made outside the GCC are usually subject to customs duty, and import VAT of 5% applies. The receiver in the UAE needs a customs importer code; we confirm the exact charges in the quote.

How to get a quote

Send us the goods, the weight and volume, whether you need a full trailer or a container, the supplier’s city in Saudi Arabia and the delivery address in the UAE. We reply with the price, the route and what is included.
