Where we operate
Qatar has one land border. We work it, the port and the airport.
Road through Abu Samra, sea through Hamad Port, air through Hamad International — each of them in both directions. Below are the lanes priced the moment you enter your cargo, and the ones we price by hand — stated plainly, so you know which you are getting before you fill anything in.

The shape of the map
Three ways across a border, and only one of them is a road
Qatar is a peninsula with a single land crossing. That one fact decides more about a shipment plan here than anything about us does.
1crossing
Qatar's only land border
Every road shipment in or out of the country passes through Abu Samra. There is no second route to fall back on, so a road plan that does not work there does not work at all.
Abu Samra, roughly 80 km south of Doha, into Saudi Arabia at Salwa. Reopened in January 2021.
3gateways
Where cargo actually crosses
One border, one port, one airport. Whichever mode you choose, the consignment leaves through one of these three — which is why the gateway, not the city, is what a rate is quoted against.
Abu Samra by road, Hamad Port by sea, Hamad International by air.
1–2days
Indicative GCC road transit
What a GCC road leg typically takes, not a delivery promise. Border processing and conditions on the day move it, and neither is ours to guarantee.
Once cargo is on the truck. Indicative, not contractual.
Priced instantly
The lanes on the rate card today
Enter cargo on one of these and the price comes back straight away, with every vehicle that can carry it and an estimated duty beside it. Each one is rated in both directions — out of Qatar and into it.
Road, Doha both ways
Priced per vehicle, through Abu Samra in either direction. Every vehicle size on the card that can carry the load is priced at once, cheapest first — from a 1-ton pickup to a 40ft trailer, depending on the lane.
- Dammam
- Riyadh
- Dubai
- Kuwait City
- Muscat
Sea, Hamad Port both ways
LCL priced by the cubic metre against a minimum charge, FCL priced by the container — 20ft, 40ft and high cube, according to what the lane carries. Exports out of Hamad Port and imports into it are both on the card.
- Dubai
- Jeddah
Air, Hamad International both ways
Priced per kilogram of chargeable weight on weight breaks, so the rate steps down as the consignment gets heavier, against a minimum charge. Inbound and outbound are rated separately, not assumed equal.
- Dubai
- Riyadh
Priced by hand
What the rate card does not cover yet, and what happens then
These are not refusals, and they are no longer about direction — every lane on the card runs both ways. They are lanes a person prices rather than a rate table, and the quote form tells you which one you are on before you have committed to anything.
Anything outside the GCC
The instant card is GCC-only, in both directions: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Oman. A consignment from Europe, Asia or the Americas is priced by hand. Customs clearance on arrival is not affected by this at all — that is a licensed activity we perform, not a rate-card entry.
Destinations not yet rated
All of these can be chosen in the quote form. They are simply not on the instant card yet, so picking one keeps your cargo lines and sends them to us rather than returning a price.
- Abu Dhabi and Manama, on every mode
- Jeddah by road or air
- Kuwait City and Muscat by sea or air
Cargo no standard vehicle takes
A consignment heavier or larger than every capacity on the card needs out-of-gauge handling and a flatbed. The form recognises that case specifically and says so, instead of quietly pricing the wrong vehicle.
What by hand actually means
The quote form takes your cargo, tells you on the spot that the lane is priced by hand, and keeps the details as a draft. We email a firm quote within four hours — the same commitment the quote tool makes when it cannot price a lane itself.
How a lane is priced
You never have to know which list your lane is on
Enter the cargo either way. The form works out whether it can price the lane itself and tells you which of the two you got.
Pick the two ends
Origin, destination and mode, in whichever order the cargo actually travels. Every GCC city we work is in both lists, whether or not it is on the instant rate card yet.
On the card, priced there and then
If the lane is rated for that mode, every vehicle that can carry your cargo comes back priced on chargeable weight, with the duty estimate beside it.
Off the card, priced by hand
If it is not, the form says so on the spot rather than showing you a zero, and keeps your cargo lines as a draft for us to quote against.
Quoted prices are estimates in QAR and rates change. Transit figures are indicative rather than contractual. Duty is assessed by the General Authority of Customs on the declaration we file, so any duty figure shown beforehand is an estimate rather than a final number.
Start here
Find out in one step which of the two your lane is
Enter the cargo once. Either a price comes straight back, or we tell you it is going to a person — and either way nothing you typed is wasted.
