Route and transit time for air freight from Jeddah to the USA
There are few direct cargo flights between Jeddah and US cities, so the shipment stops at a Gulf or European airport and continues. The whole time runs from collection to delivery.

|---|---|---|
| New York | The north-east: New York, New Jersey and Boston | 5 – 7 days |
| Washington | The capital, Virginia and Maryland | 5 – 7 days |

The price of air freight from Jeddah to the USA
At Home Safe the price is worked out per kilogram on chargeable weight, the greater of actual and volumetric weight. Send the city, weight, dimensions and a description of the contents to 0552803439, and you will have the price the same day.
| What sets the price | Its effect |
|---|---|
| Weight band | The per-kilo rate falls at 45, 100 and 300 kg |
| Volume | A light, bulky carton is charged on its volume |
| The state | The east coast costs less than the west |
| Scope of service | To the address costs more than to the airport |
| Type of goods | Anything needing a procedure with a US agency adds cost |
An example: a carton of 60 × 50 × 40 cm weighing 12 kg is charged on 20 kg. Work out your shipment’s weight with the volumetric weight calculator.
Outside the freight: US customs duties are paid by the consignee, unless we agree on delivery with duties included. Ask about both options.
Shipping parcels and personal effects to the USA
- The description: exact and in English for each item, with its value. “Gifts” or “personal items” is not enough.
- The address: in full, with the ZIP code and a US mobile number.
- Duties: parcels under 800 dollars used to enter duty-free, and that has been suspended since 29 August 2025. So count the duties into the cost.
- Gifts: a gift from one person to another worth up to 100 dollars remains exempt, and is marked as a gift.
- Immigrants’, students’ and returning residents’ effects: used personal and household effects enter exempt, on a declaration form to US customs.
The service is detailed on the parcel shipping page.
Shipping commercial goods and samples to the USA
- The commercial invoice: in English, with the goods’ description, value, country of origin and tariff code.
- The importer: with a US tax identification number, and a customs broker for shipments above a certain threshold.
- Duties: worked out on the goods’ tariff heading and country of origin, with new duties added in 2025 that are changing. We check what is in force before shipping.
- Country of origin: marked on the product itself, which is a US requirement.
- Samples: marked as samples of no commercial value where that is the case.
Details are on the commercial shipping page.

Security screening, and what does not go by air
Air shipments bound for the USA have their data sent in advance before loading, and go through enhanced security screening.
| Item | Position |
|---|---|
| Flammable materials and compressed gases | Not accepted in ordinary freight |
| Lithium batteries | Under the carrier’s conditions on number and packing |
| Perfumes and aerosols | Hazardous goods, accepted by special arrangement |
| Counterfeits and fake trademarks | Confiscated, with a fine |
| Products from protected animals | Prohibited |
| Cash and gold | Not shipped among ordinary parcels |
The general list is on the prohibited items page.
Documents required
| Type of shipment | Documents |
|---|---|
| A personal parcel or gift | ID or residence permit, a description and value for each item, and the consignee’s address |
| An immigrant’s, student’s or returning resident’s effects | Passport and visa, contents list, and the customs declaration form |
| Commercial goods | Commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill and the importer’s number |
| Foodstuffs | The above, with the prior notice number |
The documents are explained on the required documents page.
Delivery to the address in the USA
- To the address: we handle clearance and delivery within the states to the consignee’s door.
- To the airport: the consignee or their broker collects from the cargo building.
- Tracking: by the air waybill number, then by the local carrier’s number.
- Signature: asked for on delivery of shipments of value.
The service is detailed on the door-to-door shipping page, and the destination on the shipping to the USA page.
Can a car be shipped to the USA?
In most cases, no. The USA does not accept a car less than 25 years old unless it meets US safety and emissions standards, and cars from the Kingdom were not built to them. Anything over 25 years old enters, which concerns classic cars, shipped by sea or air. The destinations that accept cars from the Kingdom are in the article on car shipping from Saudi Arabia.
Air or sea to the USA?
| Comparison | Air | Sea |
|---|---|---|
| Time | 5 – 8 days | 35 – 50 days |
| Pricing unit | The kilogram | The cubic metre or the container |
| Best for | Parcels, samples and anything under 300 kg | A whole home’s furniture and heavy goods |
An immigrant usually combines the two: two or three cartons by air for the first weeks, and the furniture by sea. Sea freight is on the sea freight page.
