Shipping from Türkiye to Saudi Arabia — air freight, customs cleared to the door

BASMA Global ships by air from Istanbul to every city in Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the rest of the Kingdom — customs cleared and delivered to the door. We handle the clearance procedures and paperwork; you hand over the goods in Türkiye and receive them cleared at the recipient's address. We ship more than 10 tonnes a week by air to Saudi Arabia, and we have a wholesale warehouse in Jeddah, a new warehouse in Dammam and a fulfillment warehouse in Riyadh with our partner SMSA.

Who this page is for

  • Traders and online stores importing from Istanbul — fabrics, accessories, cosmetics, supplements, honey, foodstuffs — in small or large quantities.
  • Travellers with excess baggage and individuals sending parcels home, from 0.5 kg.
  • Stores selling in Saudi Arabia that need storage, order preparation, door delivery and cash on delivery. Fulfillment (Arabic)

How it works

  1. Pickup in Istanbul. We collect from any district of Istanbul — hotel, apartment or your supplier's warehouse. The pickup fee depends on location and quantity and can be free; our team confirms it before pickup. From other Turkish cities, send parcels to us with MNG Kargo or Aras Kargo using BASMA's discount code.
  2. Weighing and packing check. Basic packing is the sender's responsibility; if the shipment needs reinforcement or special packing we tell you the cost before it flies.
  3. Flight. We usually fly three times a week: Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We tell you the departure date.
  4. Customs clearance and delivery. We handle the clearance procedures and paperwork and deliver to the door.

What we need from you

  • Product type and quantity (or weight and dimensions).
  • Pickup address and time in Istanbul.
  • Recipient name, address and mobile number.
  • Supplier invoice or packing list if available — it speeds up the requirements review.

Batteries

Under our shipment-acceptance policy, batteries are not accepted in air freight — separate or inside a device, including phones.

Delivery time to Saudi Arabia

  • Personal shipments and excess baggage: usually 2–4 days from the actual flight departure to your address (waiting time before departure is not included); it can be longer depending on destination procedures.
  • Customs-cleared commercial cargo: usually 4–10 days from the day we receive the goods in our warehouse until delivery, depending on flights, holidays and clearance. These are estimates, not guarantees; large quantities may be flown in batches on an agreed schedule.

Cosmetics, supplements and honey to Saudi Arabia

These are regulated categories that may require a document or approval from the competent authority (such as the Saudi Food and Drug Authority). We ship cosmetics, supplements and honey to Saudi Arabia customs cleared to the door, handle the clearance procedures ourselves, and tell you after reviewing the product and destination whether a specific document or approval is needed. Our team prices each such shipment individually. Cleared goods (Arabic)

Customs in Saudi Arabia

Customs procedures take place before the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) under its regulations. We carry out these procedures and the paperwork on your behalf without bypassing any official step. For personal shipments, destination duties and taxes are paid by the recipient. Saudi quotes for commercial cargo include the applicable tax.

Cash on delivery in Saudi Arabia

Two separate services: (1) we collect the product price from your customer and remit it to you — the collection fee is $5 when the collected amount is under $200 and 5% when it is $200 or more, separate from freight, transfer fees, taxes and duties; (2) the recipient pays the shipping charge on delivery, with its terms stated in the quote.

Case study

A documented BASMA shipment: 308 cartons (1,163 kg) from Turkey to the customer's door in Kuwait in four days from receipt — a specific result, not a general promise. Read the case study.

Frequently asked questions — Saudi Arabia

Do you pick up from my address in Istanbul, or do I bring the shipment to you?

We pick up from your address in Istanbul. For other Turkish cities, contact our team to arrange delivery to our warehouse with a domestic carrier. Tell us the location and time — hotel, apartment or the supplier's shop — and we come to you. The pickup fee depends on location and quantity and can be free.

How long does a shipment take to reach Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam?

Personal shipments: usually 2–4 days from the actual flight departure to your address (waiting time before departure is not included); it can be longer depending on destination procedures. Customs-cleared commercial cargo: usually 4–10 days from receipt of the goods in our warehouse until delivery, depending on flights, holidays and clearance — an estimate, not a guarantee.

Yes, we accept small parcels from 0.5 kg, starting at $12.5 including air freight, customs clearance and door delivery.

Can I ship perfumes and cosmetics to Saudi Arabia?

This is a regulated category and may require a document or approval from a competent authority such as the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. If the shipment needs a specific document or approval we tell you after reviewing the product and destination and help you arrange it. We ship cosmetics, supplements and honey to Saudi Arabia customs cleared to the door, handle the clearance procedures ourselves, and price each shipment individually.

Who handles customs clearance in Saudi Arabia?

Customs procedures take place before the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority under its regulations. We carry out these procedures and the paperwork on your behalf: you hand over the goods in Türkiye and receive them cleared at the door, without bypassing any official step.

I am a trader importing fabrics from Laleli — how do we start?

Send the product type, quantity and destination. We review the requirements, help you arrange the right procedures, and agree a pickup time with your supplier at their warehouse.

Is packing my responsibility or yours?

Basic packing is the sender's responsibility — the shipment reaches us packed. We check the packing on pickup; if it needs reinforcement or special packing we tell you, with the cost, before shipping. The cost depends on quantity, packing type and the goods.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes. We inform you at pickup and at departure, and keep you updated on the shipment status until delivery at the address. For personal shipments you get a shipment number to follow it with us on WhatsApp; for commercial cargo shipped in batches we tell you the batch departure and arrival dates.
