FCL shipping involves securing and sealing a container with your cargo at the origin, which remains sealed until it reaches the destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> FCL is typically recommended when your cargo volume exceeds 13\/14\/15 cubic meters (CBM). This is because you pay for the entire space in an FCL container, regardless of how much you use. If you're shipping high volume goods, FCL proves to be cheaper and offers better safety since the container is sealed from origin to destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, let's consider Company X that manufactures heavy machinery in the US for sale in Saudi Arabia. If they need to ship multiple machines that occupy a significant volume, they would likely request an FCL shipping quote. They could opt for a 20'ft or 40'ft FCL container, depending on their volume of goods.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Economically, FCL is wise for large volume cargoes. While the upfront costs of booking a whole 20'ft or 40'ft container might seem high, the cost per unit dropped significantly for large consignments. Importantly, keep in mind that rates fluctuate based on factors like the size of the FCL container chosen and the current market rates.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Less than Container Load (LCL)<\/strong><\/span> involves consolidating several shippers' cargo into one single container - it's ideal for small shipments.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is your best bet when your shipment is less than 15 CBM. This option offers flexible shipments at a lower cost for low-volume cargo, ideal for businesses without enough goods to fill an entire container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine you're shipping artisanal maple syrup from Vermont to Riyadh. Your first production run produces just 10 CBM of product. Rather than waiting (losing valuable time) or shipping a half-empty container (costly), you opt for LCL shipment. Your syrup is combined with other products in a single container, reducing your costs.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> With LCL shipping, you would only pay for the space you occupy, which makes the quote affordable for smaller goods volumes. However, bear in mind, in LCL freight, costs might rise with multiple handling points - loading, unloading, and potential warehousing - which aren't typically factors in FCL (Full Container Load).<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">With the complexity of international shipping, you can rely on DocShipper, a dedicated freight forwarder, to streamline your cargo transport.

The oversized dimension could be either height, width, or length. Out of gauge cargo shipping uses flat rack or open-top containers.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Big machinery, larger vehicles, pipe sections.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Construction equipment like cranes, tractors, prefabricated components, and large vehicles such as buses.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If your business trades oversized items, then using an OOG container could minimize disassembly and subsequent reassembly costs while ensuring safe handling during transport.<\/p><br><h4>Break Bulk<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Break bulk is shipping individual pieces or loose cargo load without the use of shipping containers. This method is ideal for large pieces of machinery or project freights that cannot fit into containers.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Large equipment, turbines, windmills, and oversized vehicles.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Boat manufacturing materials, heavy machinery, and manufacturing parts.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If your cargo is too bulky for containers and requires on-site assembly, consider break bulk shipping to ensure optimal cargo integrity and facilitate the assembly process.<\/p><br><h4>Dry Bulk<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Dry bulk shipping involves transport of loose commodities such as coal, grain, or minerals in bulk without packaging.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Industries specializing in mining, agriculture, construction.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Sand, iron ore, coal, fertilizers, and grains like wheat or corn.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> Dry bulk shipping is cost-effective for long-distance transport of high-volume, non-perishable goods. It brings economies of scale to businesses that rely on large quantities of raw materials.<\/p><br><h4>Roll-on\/Roll-off (Ro-Ro)<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> A ro-ro vessel carries wheeled cargo like cars, trucks, trailers, which are driven on and off the vessel using their own wheels or a platform vehicle.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Vehicle manufacturers, heavy machinery producers, and large engineering project executions.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Cars, trucks, semitrailers, buses, boats, or cranes.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> Ro-Ro vessels are designed for speedy loading and unloading, hence reducing port stay durations. This method might be your best option if your freight includes vehicles or equipment that can move on its own.<\/p><br><h4>Reefer Containers<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> These are refrigerated containers used for commodities that need temperature regulation. They maintain a set temperature, regardless of outside weather conditions.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Agricultural produce companies, pharmaceutical businesses, and frozen food manufacturers.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Fruits, vegetables, meat products, or medical supplies like vaccines.<br \/><br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re dealing with perishable cargo, particularly food items or temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, reefer containers ensure your product retains its quality during the shipping process.<\/p><br><p>For customized solutions regarding your business shipping needs from the US to Saudi Arabia, connect with DocShipper.

It&#8217;s measured in Kilograms (kg) by placing the packed goods on a scale.<\/p><br><p>On the other hand, <strong>volumetric weight<\/strong>, also known as dimensional weight, is a pricing method for commercial freight transport, including courier and postal services.<\/p><br><p><strong>It&#8217;s calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of your package and applying a volumetric factor, which for Air Cargo is typically 6000 cm3\/Kg and for Express Air Freight Services is 5000 cm3\/Kg.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s illustrate this with an example. Consider you have a box with dimensions 40cm x 30cm x 20cm and a gross weight of 10kg.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>For Air Cargo, volumetric weight = (40cm x 30cm x 20cm) \/ 6000 = 4 Kg (or about 8.8 lbs)<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>For Express Air Freight, volumetric weight = (40cm x 30cm x 20cm) \/ 5000 = 4.8 Kg (or about 10.58 lbs)<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>An important fact to note is that if your package is lightweight but takes up a lot of space, the volumetric weight could be higher than the actual (gross) weight. Our box, in this case, weighs 10kg (22 lbs), so the freight charge will be calculated on the gross weight as it is higher than the volumetric weight.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Why does this matter? It&#8217;s all about efficiency. Freight carriers calculate charges based on the higher of the two weights &#8211; gross or volumetric.

It&#8217;s a crucial point and can feel like a tricky hurdle. The customs value isn&#8217;t simply the product price; it&#8217;s a bit more comprehensive.<\/p><br><p><strong>Consider customs value as the CIF Value &#8211; that&#8217;s the Cost of the goods (your purchase price), Insurance, and Freight combined.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Imagine you buy products worth $2000, have them insured for $100, and it costs $500 for shipping. Your customs value isn&#8217;t $2000, it shoots up to $2600. This CIF value is what Saudi Arabia customs bases duty computation on, not just the raw product price.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Paying attention to how you calculate these values can save you from unpleasant surprises at the customs gate and keep your shipment moving smoothly. Remember &#8212; knowledge is power in international shipping!<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f280f3d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9f280f3d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0ff7add elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0ff7add\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An<strong> import tariff<\/strong> is essentially a tax imposed by countries on imported goods. These tariffs can vary depending on the destination country, as well as the nature and origin of the goods. For instance, when importing goods from the US to Saudi Arabia, different tariffs apply. Hence, determining the applicable tariff becomes crucial.<\/p><br><p>Saudi Arabia imposes a <strong>harmonised system (HS) tariff<\/strong>, a global standard for classifying traded goods. To determine your product&#8217;s tariff, here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide:<\/p><br><ol><br><li>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/zatca.gov.sa\/en\/eServices\/Pages\/eServices_217.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>customs website of Saudi Arabia<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><br><li>Navigate to the tariff query tool.<\/li><br><li>Input the determined HS code and the country of origin (in this case, the US).<\/li><br><li>Consult the listed tariffs for your product.<\/li><br><\/ol><br><p>Let&#8217;s take an example for better understanding. Suppose you&#8217;re shipping automobile parts from the US, that have an HS-code of 8708. The tariff for this type of good might be 5%. If your total CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) comes to $10,000, the import duty is calculated as 5% of $10,000, meaning you would have to pay $500 in import duties to Saudi customs.<\/p><br><p>Remember, the more accurately you can classify your goods, the smoother your clearance process will be. Take the time to understand your product&#8217;s HS code and associated tariffs, it&#8217;ll save you potential surprises and setbacks.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8ca4466 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b8ca4466\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fd8221d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7fd8221d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>Beyond the standard tariff rate, you might encounter <strong>additional import duties<\/strong> when importing goods from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia. These extra charges depend on factors like the product&#8217;s nature and country of origin.<\/p><br><p><strong>Consider excise duty, a tax levied on specific goods like tobacco or energy drinks. These rates can be considerable &#8211; imagine a 50% excise duty on a $100,000 shipment of energy drinks. Suddenly, you have to budget an extra $50,000!<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Another charge to keep an eye on is the anti-dumping tax, meant to protect local industries from unfairly priced imports. As a hypothetical case, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re importing machine parts that usually sell for $100\/piece domestically. However, if another country offers the same parts for $60, they may incur anti-dumping duties to level the playing field.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>The VAT rate is crucial too. As of July 2020, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s VAT is 15%. So, if your shipment is worth $1,000, you&#8217;d have to account for an additional $150 of VAT.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, these are just examples to help you understand. Always consult the latest regulations for the most accurate rates. The goal here is not to discourage you, but to help you plan accurately and avoid unpleasant surprises.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eade1ff1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eade1ff1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68edf7b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68edf7b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>In the world of global shipping, calculating customs duties for goods shipped from the US to Saudi Arabia is a crucial part of the process. The calculation is based on three key factors: Customs Value (the value of the shipment), Value Added Tax (VAT), and other levies such as anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty.<\/p><br><p><strong>For a shipment with a customs value of $10,000 and no VAT, say a 5% customs duty would result in a total customs duty of $500.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>On the other hand, suppose you have a customs value of $20,000 and a VAT of 15%. You calculate customs duty at 5%, which gives you $1,000. Add this to the customs value, giving a total of $21,000. Apply the VAT on this sum, yielding a VAT amount of $3,150. So, the total payable fees are $4,150.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Lastly, if you&#8217;ve a shipment with a customs value of $30,000, 15% VAT, 10% anti-dumping tax and 10% Excise Duty. Compute each from the customs value then add them all up. Here, you\u2019d get $5,000 for customs duty, $5,500 for VAT, $3,000 for the anti-dumping tax and $3,000 for Excise Duty. The total amount payable? A hefty $16,500.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Baffled by all these calculations? DocShipper is here to simplify matters for you.

Even though the CE standard is a regulatory mark for products within the European Economic Area, for Saudi Arabia, understanding this European mark can alleviate potential market-entry hiccups.<\/p><br><p><em><strong>It&#8217;s not a quality assurance label, but more of a green light that shows your product meets necessary health, safety, and environmental protection requirements. Contrastingly, in the US, standards are product-specific and not universally seen across different industry sectors.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><br><p>If you&#8217;re a US exporter aiming for Saudi Arabia, familiarize yourself with <strong><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/member\/1516.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saudi Arabian Standards (SASO)<\/a><\/strong> to ensure your products comply with local market regulations. Think of this as a passport for your product, helping it reach its destination trouble-free.
