❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Small Parcel General No Battery from China to Saudi Arabia take?
Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 4–8 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.

Clearance is handled by Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). The regime is: VAT 15%; duty 5–15% (up to 25% on some goods), with a de-minimis position of SAR 1,000. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.
In what currency is this route priced and paid?
Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is SAR. Payment is typically due before departure, and DDP means you settle the full landed cost once.

For regulated goods, plan for: SABER/SASO conformity certificate. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common clearance hold with Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), so confirm requirements for your HS code before shipping.

Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (SABER/SASO conformity certificate). We file these under DDP.
