How You Can Ship to Khobar.
How to ship your car to Khobar is one of the easiest decisions you will make when planning your overseas transport. There are essentially only two ways to ship by sea and those ways are with Ro/Ro or Container Shipping. Ro/Ro is the easiest as well as the quickest and least expensive way to ship a car by sea. The car will be rolled onto the ship and then transported from the United States to Khobar as quickly as possible. Once it reaches Khobar it can be driven off and then directly driven to customs for the final clearance check before leaving the port. If you need to ship items along with your car you can ship them all, including the car, inside of a special shipping container. The container, packed with the car and other shipping content will be placed on the cargo ship and then shipped to Khobar. Once it arrives at the port it will be unloaded from the ship and your personal content and car may be unloaded and can then proceed to the customs check for clearance. Some ports will allow containers while others will not, and some will allow Ro/Ro ships while others will not. When you are speaking to the transport agent they will let you know which type of shipping will be accessible at the port of entry for Khobar.

When you are making plans to ship your car to Khobar, one of the first things you need to do, even prior to making the arrangements to have the car shipped at all, is to contact the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to get updated information on customs rules and regulations and to make sure that anything you need to move to Khobar is going to be accepted when it reaches the port. You will also want to find out what may need to be done to your car before shipping to make sure that it will be considered up to the standards for motor vehicles in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is very strict on emissions and engine performance for cars. You cannot import a car that has been in an accident and has been damaged in any way. You will also be able to import your car only if it is five years or less from the manufacture date at the time of importation. You will also need to make sure that you contact the Embassy to make sure that the paperwork necessary for the customs clearance check is all up to date and ready to provide to officials. Some of the paperwork that you will need includes:
- Passport.
- Residency Permit.
- Permit of Import for the car.
- Title of Car.
- Registration of Car.
- Sales Invoice.
- Bill of Lading.

In Saudi Arabia you must have a valid Saudi Arabian driver’s license in order to drive. You will need to apply for a local driver’s license before your car arrives at the port if you plan on driving it to your new location. You will also not be able to get clearance from customs until you obtain a Saudi Arabian Driver’s license.
