Route: your district in Jeddah → the Islamic Port quay → Suez → western Mediterranean → Casablanca port or Tanger Med · Length of the sea voyage: close to 2,650 nautical miles as far as the Strait of Gibraltar · Time to the door: 20–32 days by container, and 3–6 days by aircraft.

Who ships from Jeddah to Morocco, and what?

Jeddah has a long-established Moroccan community: doctors, nurses, teachers, craftsmen and families who have lived here for many years. Every season, Moroccan Umrah and Hajj pilgrims also pass through the city, arriving at its airport and leaving from it. These are the people behind most shipments on this route, and each of them needs something different.

Shipper	What they send	The method that suits them
A Moroccan family ending its stay in Jeddah	Bedrooms, the living room, appliances and books, sometimes with the car	A 20ft container, or a 40ft with the car
A resident sending to relatives	Dates, perfumes, abayas, children’s clothes and toys	An air parcel, or a shared container for quantity
A Moroccan Umrah or Hajj pilgrim	Bags and cartons above the airline allowance	Air if in a hurry, a sea part load if not
A car owner	A personal car on returning or retiring	RoRo, or a closed container
An employee or student moving to Morocco	Personal effects, a computer, books and some furniture	A part load by the cubic metre
A trader buying in Jeddah’s markets	Goods for sale in Morocco	A full container or a part load, covered in detail in cargo shipping from Jeddah to Morocco

The first thing we ask about is your status in Morocco, not the volume of your belongings. Someone returning for good is governed by the consulate certificate, a visitor sends gifts in a personal quantity, and a car owner is governed by the car’s registration date.

The route from Jeddah to Morocco and how long it takes

A shipment from Jeddah covers no road distance before the sea, which takes one to three days off its journey compared with inland cities. The container enters the Islamic Port, sails north up the Red Sea, passes through the Suez Canal and crosses the Mediterranean from east to west. It reaches Tanger Med first, at the Strait of Gibraltar, and if it is bound for Casablanca it passes through the strait into the Atlantic.

Stage	What happens	How long it takes
Packing at home	Dismantling and wrapping the furniture, numbering the cartons and writing the inventory	One day, two for a villa
Entry to Jeddah port	A truck from the district to the container yard	The same day or the next morning
Export and waiting for the vessel	The export declaration and handing the container to the shipping line	2–4 days
Sailing	Red Sea, Suez Canal, Mediterranean	10–16 days to Tanger Med, and 14–22 days to Casablanca
Clearance in Morocco	The customs declaration, inspection and payment of anything due	A few days if the file is complete
Delivery to the home	A truck from the port to the consignee’s city	One to 3 days

The next table adds all the stages into one figure for each method, from your door in Jeddah to the consignee’s door:

Method	Door-to-door transit	Who it suits
Full container through Tanger Med	20–28 days	A consignee in Tangier, Tetouan, Fes or Oujda
Full container through Casablanca	24–32 days	A consignee in Casablanca, Rabat or Marrakech
Shared container	28–38 days	Less than half a container: cartons and one or two rooms
A car by RoRo or in a container	22–35 days	A returnee’s or retiree’s car
Air freight	3–6 days	Parcels, bags and documents

What makes it take longer?

• A change of vessel: some lines discharge the container at an intermediate Mediterranean port and load it onto a second ship, so arrival hangs on that second ship’s schedule.
• Waiting for the shared container: it is not closed until it is full, and Jeddah fills one faster than any other city because so many shipments leave from it.
• A missing paper: a certificate of change of residence that is not the original, or an unsigned inventory, holds the container in the Moroccan port.
• After Hajj and the summer months: many residents go home then, so ships fill up and the wait for a slot grows.

To compare with other destinations see the transit times page, and to weigh sea against air the shipping methods comparison page.

Sea freight from Jeddah Islamic Port to Casablanca and Tanger Med

The sea is the route for everything heavier than a suitcase. The container is loaded at Jeddah Islamic Port, the largest port on the Red Sea, and heads for one of two Moroccan ports. A weekly service on this corridor links Jeddah with Tanger Med by way of Port Said, alongside other lines that change vessel on the way. We confirm the sailing before loading day because schedules change.

Port of arrival	Where it is	Serves	Sailing time from Jeddah
Tanger Med	On the Strait of Gibraltar, east of the city of Tangier	Tangier, Tetouan, Larache, Fes, Meknes, Oujda and Nador	10–16 days
Casablanca	On the Atlantic, at the heart of the economic corridor	Casablanca, Mohammedia, Rabat, Sale, El Jadida and Marrakech	14–22 days
Agadir	On the Atlantic, in the Souss region	Agadir, Inezgane, Taroudant and Tiznit	Subject to a vessel being available, otherwise through Casablanca

The choice of port follows the consignee’s address. A container bound for Tetouan that is discharged at Casablanca then travels about 380 km by truck, and one bound for Marrakech that is discharged at Tanger Med travels more than 550 km. The service is explained on the sea freight page, the ports we work with on the ports and gateways page, and for detail on Jeddah port see international sea freight from Jeddah.

Shipping prices from Jeddah to Morocco

The price of a shipment from Jeddah carries almost no inland haulage item, because the distance between any district and the port is short. Three things remain in the price: packing and loading, the sea or air freight, and then clearance and delivery in Morocco if you want the service to the door. These are our starting prices:

Shipment	Method	Starts from
Documents and papers	Express	SAR 83
Parcel of up to 5 kg	Air	SAR 320
Bags and effects above 100 kg	Air, by the kilogram	SAR 28 a kilogram
One cubic metre	Shared container	SAR 780
Smallest sea shipment	Shared container, minimum charge	SAR 1,000
Furniture and personal effects	Shared container	SAR 2,300
Saloon car	RoRo	SAR 2,200
20ft container	Full container from Jeddah port	SAR 7,800
A car in its own 20ft container	Full container with lashing	SAR 10,100
40ft container	Full container from Jeddah port	SAR 14,720
Collection from Makkah, Taif and Rabigh	Closed truck to Jeddah	Set on request
Clearance and delivery inside Morocco	By port and consignee’s city	Set on request

The prices circulating in the market for this route sit in higher ranges. A bedroom with its cartons in a shared container is quoted at between SAR 2,500 and 4,500. A cubic metre is between SAR 850 and 1,500. A whole flat in a 20ft container is between SAR 8,500 and 13,000, and a villa in a 40ft container between SAR 16,000 and 22,000. Express air parcels are offered at between SAR 1,800 and 3,500, and a small car by RoRo at between SAR 7,500 and 9,500. The shipping line changes the sea rate from one month to the next, so the binding figure is the one fixed on the day of booking. Container rates are detailed in container shipping prices from Jeddah.

Factor	How it changes the price
Volume of the goods	Counted by the cubic metre in a shared container and by container size in a full one. Estimate it with the CBM calculator
Method	Sea is cheaper by a wide margin, and with air you pay for the days saved
Place of collection	Jeddah’s districts at roughly one price, and Makkah, Taif and Rabigh with a stated extra item
Moroccan port and delivery city	The one close to the consignee shortens the delivery truck’s run
Services at the home	Dismantling and assembly, timber crates, and a hoist for upper floors
Moroccan duties	Not part of the shipping price, and paid by the consignee according to the item and his status

How do you bring the cost down?

• Sell in Jeddah whatever is easy to buy in Morocco: old wardrobes and worn mattresses take up cubic metres and are not worth their freight.
• Ask for two prices when your volume approaches 15 cubic metres: a shared container and a full 20ft, as they may come close.
• Anyone shipping a car and furniture together saves with one 40ft container instead of two shipments.
• Complete the exemption file before travelling, as the duty on furniture without a certificate can exceed the cost of shipping it.

Each item is explained on the pricing factors page.

What sets shipping from Jeddah apart?

Jeddah is a port city, and that changes the whole order of work. We do not book a truck for a long distance or wait for a convoy; we set the packing day directly against the vessel’s cut-off.

• The port is inside the city: Jeddah Islamic Port lies south of the city centre, and a truck reaches it from the farthest district in an hour or less outside rush hours.
• The airport is inside the city: King Abdulaziz International Airport is in the north, and urgent parcels and bags leave from it.
• The consulate is close: the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco is in Jeddah, and a returnee obtains the certificate of change of residence there without travelling to another city.
• Shared containers that do not wait long: the number of shipments leaving Jeddah means a container fills in less time.
• Coastal humidity: the other face of the city, which has to be allowed for in the packing, as explained below.

To see the rest of our services in the city, read international shipping companies in Jeddah.

Packing and shipping furniture and returnees’ household goods from Jeddah to Morocco

A returnee’s home goes through three operations in succession with us: wrapping, dismantling and numbering. While they are under way we write the inventory that Moroccan customs will read line by line. We ship furniture, appliances and personal effects together, in a full container or in a space in a shared container starting from SAR 2,300.

• Survey: we visit the home or settle for a video clip of each room, and come away with the number of cubic metres and the container size.
• Dismantling: beds, wardrobes and dining tables, and the Moroccan salon with its backrests and bases. The screws of each piece go into a bag bearing its number.
• Appliances: the technician removes the air conditioner and recovers its gas properly, the refrigerator is unplugged a day ahead and dried, and the washing machine drum is secured.
• Numbering: every carton and every piece carries a number visible on two sides, and the same number appears in the list.
• A numbered inventory: in Arabic or French, with a description of each item and its approximate value, dated and bearing your signature.
• Loading: heavy items at the bottom and the pieces that will come off first towards the door, then the door is closed with a seal whose number is written on the bill of lading.

The exemption for returnees’ effects: the rule applied by Moroccan customs is that a Moroccan who transfers his residence for good brings in his used furniture and effects free of duty. He is asked for the original certificate of change of residence from the consulate, proof of his residence abroad, and a detailed inventory that is dated and signed. Two successive shipments at most are allowed, with all their contents listed in the first inventory, and both cleared by the same customs office within six months of the date of the certificate. The exemption is granted once per family.

The exemption has limits that are worth knowing before you pack. Of large household appliances, one of each kind is normally accepted: one refrigerator, one washing machine and one cooker. Anything new in its box does not count as used effects. These rules are reviewed from one year to the next, so we confirm what is in force before shipping. The general service is explained on the furniture shipping page.

Packing that suits Jeddah’s humidity and the sea voyage

Jeddah’s air is humid for most of the year, and the container will stay shut on its contents for three weeks. Whatever goes in damp stays damp, and the temperature difference between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean then adds condensation on the walls. That is why we dry every piece before we wrap it.

Item	How we pack it
Bedrooms and wardrobes	Blankets over polished surfaces, corrugated card, corner protectors, then a wrap that holds it all tight
The Moroccan salon and sofas	A breathable fabric cover over the upholstery first, then plastic on top so the fabric does not sweat
Glass, mirrors and marble tops	Each sheet on its own, standing rather than lying flat, with foam spacers between the sheets
Refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner	Dried completely inside, shelves and moving parts secured, then heavy-duty card
Carpets, rugs and blankets	Spread out until completely dry, then rolled and put into sealed bags
Crockery, sets and ornaments	Paper for each piece and a double-wall carton, with valuable ornaments in a timber crate

We hang moisture-absorbing bags inside the container and fill the gaps between the pieces so that nothing slides when the ship rolls. The materials and how to use them are in the packing guide, and securing the load inside the container on the packing and lashing page.

A 20ft or 40ft container, or a shared container?

The practical rule: if your belongings fill half a 20ft container or more, a full container suits you better, and if they fall short of that a shared one costs less. A full container is loaded at your door and sealed in front of you, while in a shared one your belongings are stowed with other people’s shipments at the consolidation warehouse.

Point of comparison	Full container	Shared container
Starting price	SAR 7,800 for a 20ft container, and SAR 14,720 for a 40ft	SAR 780 a cubic metre, and not less than SAR 1,000
Capacity	About 33 cubic metres in the 20ft, and about 67 in the 40ft	From one carton to about 15 cubic metres
Transit to the door	20–32 days	28–38 days
Number of handlings	Two: loading in Jeddah and unloading in Morocco	At least four, because of consolidation and sorting
Suits	A flat or a villa, or a car with the furniture	One room, cartons for the family, or an employee’s effects

A 20ft container is enough for a flat of two or three bedrooms if the furniture is dismantled and stowed with care. The 40ft is for someone with a villa, or someone who wants the car and the home on one voyage. Internal dimensions in centimetres are on the container sizes page.

Parcels and gifts from Jeddah to family in Morocco

Not everyone who ships is returning. Many people send a carton two or three times a year to a mother in Fes or a sister in Marrakech. A light parcel goes by air from SAR 320 for up to 5 kg, and a larger number of cartons goes by sea in a shared container with a minimum of SAR 1,000.

• What is usually sent: dates, perfumes and incense from the Balad markets, abayas and fabrics, prayer rugs, clothes and toys.
• Contents statement: one line for each item with its quantity and value. A parcel marked only “personal items” is usually opened.
• Liquids and perfumes: they are restricted on aircraft, so a quantity of them travels by sea.
• Consignee’s address: the name as on the national identity card, the district, street and house number, and a Moroccan mobile number.
• What the consignee pays: duty may be charged on the parcel according to its value on arrival.

The service is explained on the parcel shipping page.

A service for Moroccan Umrah and Hajj pilgrims

A Moroccan pilgrim usually arrives at Jeddah airport and leaves from it, and between arriving and leaving his bags fill up with what he has bought in Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah. We take whatever exceeds the airline allowance from the hotel and deliver it to his home.

• Collection: from hotels in Jeddah and Makkah, or from the group organiser’s base for a whole party, one or two days before the flight.
• Weighed in front of you: we weigh each piece and write a receipt with the number of pieces, the weight and the consignee’s name in Morocco.
• Method: by air if you want the gifts to arrive before you or within days of you, and by sea part load if the quantity is large and a month’s wait does you no harm.
• Zamzam water: we do not ship it. Its export is prohibited, and what is allowed is the dedicated pack the traveller takes with him from the airport.

In Makkah, large trucks enter the area around the Grand Mosque only at regulated times, and those times tighten in Ramadan and the Hajj season. We therefore send a small vehicle and agree the handover hour with the hotel reception.

Traders’ goods: when this article is enough and when you need another

This page is mainly for individuals and families. A trader buying perfumes, fabrics or dates in Jeddah’s markets to sell in Morocco needs other papers: an importer with a commercial registration in Morocco, a commercial invoice, a packing list, a certificate of origin, and a certificate of conformity for some items. We have brought all of that together in cargo shipping from Jeddah to Morocco.

The rule that matters to a returning family: goods are not mixed with household effects in one list, because the returnee exemption covers used personal items alone. The service is explained on the commercial shipping page.

Car shipping from Jeddah to Morocco: what you need to know in brief

We ship a car in two ways: by RoRo from SAR 2,200 for a saloon, and in its own 20ft container from SAR 10,100. The Morocco route, however, starts with a question about the car, not the ship: is it allowed in at all?

Point of comparison	Closed container	RoRo
How it is loaded	The car goes into the container, is lashed by its wheels and the container is sealed	A driver takes it up the ship’s ramp to the deck and it is lashed there
Is it covered?	The container itself is its cover	No, it travels as it is inside a roofed deck
A car that does not run	Accepted, and winched inside	Not accepted; it must move under its own power
Belongings with it	Yes, inside the container and outside the cabin, recorded in the list	No, the cabin is empty
Starting price	SAR 10,100 for a 20ft container	SAR 2,200 for a saloon

The rule in force is that a passenger car first registered more than five years ago cannot be imported into Morocco permanently. The position differs with the owner’s status:

Car owner	What applies
A Moroccan under sixty returning for good	Permanent import with duties, with a reduction on the value that grows as the car ages, and within the five-year limit
A retired Moroccan returning for good, aged sixty and resident abroad for more than ten years	A 90% reduction on the value for one car in a lifetime, up to ten years old, with a ceiling on the value, and he attends the clearance in person
A resident abroad visiting Morocco	Temporary admission for a limited period in the year for a car he drives in on its plates, which does not suit a car whose plates have been cancelled for export
A buyer from Jeddah’s showrooms	Permanent import with full duties, and within the five-year limit

These conditions are amended by Morocco’s Finance Act, and we confirm what is in force before shipping. That is why we ask you for three things before any payment: the model, the date of first registration and your status. In Jeddah we arrange the export certificate from the traffic department with you. The full detail is in car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Morocco, and the two methods are explained on the container car shipping and RoRo car shipping pages.

Documents and customs clearance in Morocco

We check the papers in Jeddah before the container door is closed, because making good a missing paper here takes hours, while making it good after the ship has arrived takes days on which storage charges run. In Jeddah we complete the export declaration. In Morocco the clearing agent lodges the customs declaration and attends the inspection with the owner of the effects or his representative.

Shipment	What is required	Note
Furniture and effects of someone returning for good	Passport, the original certificate of change of residence, proof of residence in the Kingdom, the signed inventory, the bill of lading	A six-month window from the date of the certificate
Effects of a non-Moroccan moving for work	Passport, the employment contract or Moroccan residence card, the inventory	The conditions differ from those for returnees, and we review them case by case
Parcels and gifts	A statement of contents and value, and the consignee’s name and address	A personal quantity
A pilgrim’s bags	A copy of the passport, and a statement of what is in the bags	Nothing prohibited by air
A car	The registration, the export certificate, the bill of lading, and the documents for any concession	The age rule is settled before shipping

Write your name on every paper in the same letters as in the passport, since one letter’s difference between the inventory and the bill of lading is enough for a correction to be requested. Each document is explained on the shipping documents page, and the release steps on the customs clearance page.

What we do not ship from Jeddah to Morocco

The container passes through the scanners at the Moroccan port and may be opened for inspection. One prohibited item among the household goods holds up the release of the rest. These are the main things that are excluded or need a permit:

Item	Status
Gas cylinders, fuel, paints and pressurised sprays	Not loaded in the container or on the aircraft
Weapons and their ammunition, fireworks, and narcotics	Strictly prohibited
Zamzam water	Not shipped; the traveller carries his dedicated pack with him
Drones, radio equipment and encrypted receivers	With prior permission from the competent Moroccan authority
Used tyres	Not accepted
Medicines	A personal quantity with the prescription
Perishable foodstuffs	They do not survive weeks at sea
Gold, cash, passports and original certificates	They stay with you in your hand luggage
A car over the age limit whose owner has no exception	We do not accept it for permanent import

The general list for all destinations is on the prohibited items page, and if you are unsure about an item, ask us before packing day.

Delivering shipments from Jeddah in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes and Tangier

Our delivery ends with unloading at the front door, not at the port gate. After release the goods are loaded onto a truck for the consignee’s city, and the driver calls him before arriving to make sure he is there.

City	Nearest port	Approximate road distance	Note on delivery
Casablanca and Mohammedia	Casablanca	Within the city and its surroundings	Many blocks with small lifts, so we ask about the floor in advance
Rabat, Sale, Temara and Kenitra	Casablanca	About 90 km to Rabat	Usually one day after release
Marrakech, Safi and Essaouira	Casablanca	About 240 km to Marrakech	Handcarts are used inside the walls of the old city
Fes, Meknes and Ifrane	Tanger Med, or Casablanca	About 300 km	No vehicle enters the lanes of Fes el-Bali
Tangier, Tetouan and Larache	Tanger Med	Up to 50 km	The shortest delivery run in Morocco
Oujda, Nador and Berkane	Tanger Med	About 550 km to Oujda	Two to three days after release
Agadir, Taroudant, Ouarzazate and Laayoune	Casablanca, or Agadir	About 460 km to Agadir	Cities in the far south by an agreed appointment

If the consignee’s home is in an old medina, tell us the nearest gate or square a truck can reach, because from there the crew continue on foot and we work out their number on that basis.

Is there land freight from Jeddah to Morocco?

There is none, and we do not promise it. A truck leaving Jeddah for Morocco would have to cross Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria, and then stop at a closed land border between Algeria and Morocco. Anyone offering you delivery by land will in fact ship by sea, so ask him for the name of the port and the container number.

Air freight from Jeddah to Morocco

Air freight is for parcels and urgent luggage that cannot wait a month at sea. The shipment leaves King Abdulaziz International Airport for Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, on direct flights when available or through an intermediate airport. It is then cleared and delivered in Moroccan cities within 3 to 6 days of collection in Jeddah.

Item	For air freight from Jeddah
Airport of departure	King Abdulaziz International, serving Jeddah, Makkah and Taif
Airport of arrival	Mohammed V in Casablanca, with onward distribution by road to the other cities
Transit to the consignee’s door	3–6 days
Price	Documents from SAR 83, a parcel of up to 5 kg from SAR 320, and a kilogram above 100 kg from SAR 28
What it suits	Pilgrims’ bags, Eid gifts, papers, and a spare part someone is waiting for

Volumetric weight surprises anyone sending something light and bulky, such as blankets and soft toys. It is worked out by multiplying length by width by height in centimetres and dividing by 6000, and the sum is ready-made in the volumetric weight calculator. Perfumes, loose batteries and sprays are restricted on aircraft, so we move them to the sea. The service is detailed on the air freight page, and our office in the city in air freight office in Jeddah.

Collection from Jeddah’s districts and from Makkah and Taif

We come to your door in any district of Jeddah, and the collection price differs little between districts because the port is roughly in the middle of them. Tell us when booking if the building has no lift or the compound asks for an entry permit.

Area	Districts and towns	Note
North Jeddah	Obhur, Al-Shati, Al-Murjan, Al-Naeem, Al-Safa, Al-Nahda, Al-Zahra, Al-Rawdah, Al-Salamah	Villas and compounds, which a large truck can enter
Central Jeddah	Al-Balad, Al-Aziziyah, Al-Bawadi, Mishrifah, Al-Sharafiyah, Bani Malik, Al-Ruwais, Al-Hamra	Busy streets, so we choose the early morning hours
East and south Jeddah	Al-Naseem, Al-Harazat, Bryman, Al-Samer, Quwaizah, Al-Khumrah, Madain Al-Fahd	Closest to the port and the consolidation warehouses
Makkah	Al-Aziziyah, Al-Shawqiyah and Al-Awali, and the hotels of the central area	About 80 km, with a small vehicle near the Grand Mosque
Taif	The city’s districts, Al-Hada and Al-Shafa	About 170 km, by prior appointment
North of Jeddah as far as Rabigh	Dhahban, Thuwal, Khulais, Rabigh, and Bahrah on the Makkah road	Rabigh is about 150 km, and it is grouped with the same day’s shipments

Shipments from Makkah and Taif catch the same vessel as shipments from Jeddah, and the difference is a few hours on the road and a haulage item set on request.

Temporary storage and the door-to-door service

Many returnees hand the flat back to its owner before the sailing date, or reach Morocco while their home there is not yet ready. In both cases the belongings need somewhere to wait. We keep them in a closed warehouse in Jeddah, wrapped and numbered, and they move to the port when the date comes.

In the door-to-door service one team handles every link: packing, loading, export, the sea leg, clearance and unloading in the new home. On request we add cleaning of sofas and carpets before packing and cleaning of the flat after it is vacated. Both are explained on the storage and door-to-door shipping pages.

Steps for shipping from Jeddah to Morocco

1. Send the details: photos of the rooms or a list of the items to 0552803439, with the name of your district in Jeddah and the Moroccan city.
2. State your status: returning for good, a resident sending gifts, a pilgrim, or a car owner. It tells us which papers are needed.
3. Receive the price: its items written out one by one, together with the method, the port and the expected transit.
4. Fix the date: we tie the packing day to the nearest sailing or flight, and to your own travel date.
5. Packing and inventory: the crew arrive with their materials, dismantle, wrap and number, and you sign the list at the end of the day.
6. Port or airport: the container enters Jeddah Islamic Port and we complete the export declaration, or the parcel is handed over at King Abdulaziz Airport.
7. Follow-up: you receive the bill of lading number, then a message at every stop until berthing in Morocco.
8. Clearance and delivery: the file is cleared, the goods are unloaded at the consignee’s door and he signs that they match.

There are three ways to request the service: a call, a WhatsApp message with photos to the same number, or filling in the form on the request page.

Tracking and insuring the shipment

Three weeks at sea is a long time for someone waiting for a home, so we do not leave you asking. The container number is enough to see on the shipping line’s website where the ship last was, and how to do that is on the track your shipment page. We send an update at every stop.

Insurance is optional, and we recommend it to anyone shipping a whole home or a car. The sea carrier compensates by weight within narrow limits, not by what you paid for your furniture. The policy is written for the value you declare in the inventory, and its premium is a small percentage of that value. Details are on the cargo insurance page.

Shipping from Morocco to Jeddah

The route works in both directions. A Moroccan taking up a job in Jeddah who wants his effects, a family ordering a Moroccan salon and rugs from Fes, or a trader importing argan oil and handicrafts. Our agent collects the shipment in Casablanca or Tangier, and it sails to Jeddah Islamic Port or flies to King Abdulaziz Airport. In Jeddah we handle clearance and delivery to the home.

Tips for Jeddah residents before shipping to Morocco

• Visit the consulate in Jeddah before you book the sailing, and ask how long the certificate of change of residence stays valid.
• Do not wrap anything yourself at night with the windows open, because moisture trapped inside plastic goes on working for three weeks.
• Switch off the refrigerator and the freezer twenty-four hours before loading, and wipe them until they are dry.
• Put passports, certificates, gold and medicines in a bag that stays with you, and keep it away from the rooms the crew are working in.
• Ask about the sailing date before you set your last day in the flat.
• After the Hajj season and in summer, book four to six weeks ahead of your date.
• Do not buy a car to take into Morocco before we have checked its registration date with you.

How do you choose a shipping company from Jeddah to Morocco?

Jeddah has many shipping offices, and some are brokers who take the order and pass it to someone else. The difference shows in the questions the office puts to you before it names a price, and in what it writes down for you on paper.

Item	What reassures you	What should make you cautious
Presence in Jeddah	A team that surveys and packs itself and goes into the port	A phone number only, with the work passed to someone unknown
A returnee’s effects	It asks you about the certificate of change of residence and its deadline	It says used furniture goes in without papers
The car	It asks for the date of first registration before the price	It accepts any car and leaves the matter to the port
Packing	It dries before it wraps and fits moisture absorbers	It wraps everything straight in plastic
The price	Itemised, with a clear end point: the port or the door	A low figure, then charges that appear after sailing
Liability	A bill of lading in your name and an inventory signed by both sides	No document proving what was collected from you

Common mistakes when shipping from Jeddah to Morocco

• Leaving the Kingdom on a final exit visa before obtaining the certificate of change of residence from the consulate.
• Putting two refrigerators or two washing machines in a returnee’s container, when the exemption normally covers one appliance of each kind.
• Mixing new goods for sale with household furniture in one list.
• Writing a brief inventory of the “household items” kind with no quantity and no value.
• Trying to ship Zamzam water in the gift cartons.
• Sending a container bound for Tangier to Casablanca port because its rate is slightly lower.
• Leaving the car’s cabin full of belongings when it is going by RoRo.

Three cases from the Jeddah–Morocco route

These are examples of shipments we see again and again, and they show how the solution changes with the shipper:

• A teacher returning from Al-Safa district to Meknes: after many years in Jeddah’s schools he shipped his home and his car in a 40ft container. He obtained the consulate certificate before travelling, and attended the clearance in Casablanca in person.
• A party of pilgrims from Tangier: twelve pilgrims whose gifts exceeded the airline allowance. We gathered their cartons from the hotel in Makkah under each person’s name, and they went by sea to Tanger Med.
• A nurse sending to her mother in Marrakech: three times a year she sends a single carton of dates, perfume and fabric. It goes by air before Ramadan and the two Eids, and arrives in under a week.

Why Home Safe for shipping from Jeddah to Morocco?

Because we are in the city the ship sails from, and we know what the port at the other end asks for. We start with the papers: the consulate certificate, the inventory and the car’s registration date. Then we pack, load and follow up until the consignee signs.

Frequently asked questions about shipping from Jeddah to Morocco

How much does shipping from Jeddah to Morocco cost?

It depends on what is in the shipment and how it travels. Cartons and a few pieces of furniture in a shared container start from SAR 2,300, a cubic metre from SAR 780, and no sea shipment is charged less than SAR 1,000. A 20ft container starts from SAR 7,800 and a 40ft from SAR 14,720. A saloon by RoRo starts from SAR 2,200. By air, a parcel of up to 5 kg starts from SAR 320 and a kilogram above 100 kg from SAR 28.

How many days does a shipment from Jeddah need to reach Morocco?

A full container bound for the northern cities through Tanger Med takes 20 to 28 days from your door in Jeddah to the consignee’s door. If it is going to Casablanca, allow 24 to 32 days. A shared container takes 28 to 38 days because it does not move until it is full. An air parcel is delivered within 3 to 6 days.

Is shipping from Jeddah faster than from other Saudi cities?

Yes, usually by one to three days. The port and the airport are inside the city, so no long road journey comes before the ship, and no inland haulage worth mentioning is added to the price.

Which Moroccan port will my container go to?

We ask for the consignee’s city and then choose. Tanger Med suits anyone living in Tangier, Tetouan, Fes or Oujda. Casablanca port suits anyone living in Casablanca, Rabat or Marrakech.

I am a Moroccan returning for good. Do I pay duty on my furniture?

The rule in force is that the used furniture and effects of someone returning for good enter duty-free, provided you present the certificate of change of residence from the consulate and a dated, signed inventory, and the import is completed within six months of the date of the certificate. New appliances in their boxes do pay duty. We go through the current conditions with you before packing.

Where do I obtain the certificate of change of residence while I am in Jeddah?

From the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in Jeddah, before you travel and not after. Because the certificate has a validity period, obtain it as the shipping date approaches rather than months ahead.

Do you ship my car from Jeddah to Morocco?

Yes, by RoRo from SAR 2,200 for a saloon, or in its own 20ft container from SAR 10,100. Before booking, however, we check the year of first registration and your status in Morocco, because a car more than five years old cannot be imported permanently without an exception.

Can I put the car and the furniture in one container?

Yes. A 40ft container starts from SAR 14,720 and takes a car together with the furniture of a medium-sized flat. The car is lashed by its wheels and a timber bulkhead is built between it and the furniture, and each has its own document: the export certificate for the car and the inventory for the furniture.

Do you collect Umrah pilgrims’ luggage from hotels?

Yes, from hotels in Jeddah and Makkah one or two days before the flight. It goes by air or sea to your city in Morocco. We do not ship Zamzam water, since its export is prohibited except for the dedicated pack the traveller carries himself.

Can I ship just one or two cartons?

Yes. Anything light and urgent goes by air, and a parcel of up to 5 kg starts from SAR 320. Anything nobody is waiting for goes by sea in a shared container, and the minimum for a sea shipment is SAR 1,000 however small it is.

Do you collect from Makkah, Taif and Rabigh?

Yes. Makkah, Taif, Rabigh, Khulais, Bahrah and Thuwal are within the collection area by prior appointment, and their shipments usually enter Jeddah port the same day. The charge for collection outside Jeddah is a separate item set on request.

Is there land freight from Jeddah to Morocco?

No. The land border between Algeria and Morocco is closed, so no truck completes the journey to Morocco. Everything leaving Jeddah for Morocco boards a ship at the Islamic Port or an aircraft at King Abdulaziz Airport.

Who pays customs in Morocco?

The consignee, at clearance in the port or the airport. Whatever qualifies for the returnee exemption pays no duty if its file is complete, and everything else is subject to an import duty that varies by item and to value added tax at a standard rate of 20%.

How do I follow my shipment after it leaves Jeddah?

With the container number or the bill of lading number on the shipping line’s website, and with the air waybill number for parcels. We also write to you on WhatsApp at every move: entry to Jeddah port, sailing, passage through the Suez Canal, berthing in Morocco, and then the release.

Do you ship from Morocco to Jeddah?

Yes. Our agent collects the goods in Casablanca or Tangier, the container sails to Jeddah Islamic Port or the parcel flies to King Abdulaziz Airport, and then we clear it and deliver it to your address in Jeddah, Makkah or Taif.
