Jordan Air Freight from China: routing and transit
Air Freight into Jordan runs through AMM (Amman Queen Alia). Clearance is by Jordan Customs Department and typical dwell before release is 3–8 days.
Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport and also the transit gateway for cargo continuing to Iraq and, historically, the wider Levant. The Aqaba Special Economic Zone offers reduced duty for goods consumed inside it, which is worth checking before assuming standard rates apply.
