Shipping to Jordan: An Introduction

Jordan is a beautiful country in the Middle East that is famous for its enchanting ancient mountains, exotic beach resorts, historic tombs, and temples. This historic country is home to a population of 10 million. The capital city Amman has a strategic location and 10% of the total population lives in it.

If you need to ship a vehicle or any other heavy machinery from the US to Jordan the distance of long oceans will scare you. But you don’t need to worry about anything now! AES has all the knowledge and experience that is required for shipping your goods to Jordan without any hassle. 

Methods for Shipping to Jordan from the US

Following are the two methods primarily used to ship cars and other cargo from the US to Jordan.

RoRo Shipping to Jordan

If you are looking for a fast, budget-friendly method for shipping your cars to Jordan then RoRo shipping is the best option for you. When you book your shipments with RoRo shipping, a driver from the shipping company drives the vehicle onto the shipping vessel. The vehicle is then tied to the deck of the ship and unloaded once the vessel reaches the destination port.

If you want to choose this shipping method you have to make sure that your vehicle is in working condition and for safety, there should be no costly belongings inside it. An advantage of shipping to Jordan with this shipping method is that you can ship cars of any size as space is not an issue in these vessels. Moreover, shipments are rarely delayed via RoRo shipping since these shipping vessels follow a strict schedule like that of an airline. RoRo shipping is best for shipping normal use cars to Jordan.

Container Shipping to Jordan

People who want extra security for their items prefer container shipping over RoRo shipping as containers are sealed and the chances of wear and tear are close to zero. There are different sizes of containers that you can use to ship your cars and other cargo to Jordan.

Apart from being safer than RoRo shipping, container shipping also allows you to ship some luggage with your cars. Since the containers are sealed, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your shipments. However, the only downside of container shipping is that it is costlier as compared to RoRo shipping. There are further two types of container shipping, which are described below.

LCL or Shared Container shipping

If you opt for LCL (less than container load) or shared container shipping, you will have to share the container with other people. A single container can ship almost 3 to 4 cars at a time. So, the total rent of the container will be distributed among all the rentees of the container. The downside of shared container shipping is that sometimes the shipments get delayed. The reason is that there are not enough cars for the container to be shipped. The shipping company will not ship the container until it is full with cars heading to the same destination port.

FCL or Private Container Shipping

In FCL (Full Container Load) or private container shipping, you will have to book the whole container for yourself. This option is only a wise choice if your vehicle is extremely luxurious and you can’t afford to take any risk during its shipping. It’s a costly shipping method but you will have a large space and you can ship plenty of items along with your vehicle. Another advantage is that you don’t have to wait for anyone else while shipping your items. 

Cost Of Shipping to Jordan from the US

Your total cost of shipping a vehicle from the US to Jordan will depend upon multiple factors. If your car is small you will have to spend less on its shipping whereas if your car is big your shipping cost will increase. The shipping method you choose, applicable taxes, fuel rates at the time of shipment, and shipping season determine the final cost of shipping to Jordan. The choice of origin and destination ports also varies the shipping costs. If you are unable to deliver the vehicle to the nearest port in the US, you will be charged a few hundred dollars extra for door-to-domestic port delivery. Considering all these factors, the shipping cost of a vehicle from the US to Jordan will be around $3200 to $5900. Contact us now for a custom quote according to your shipping needs.

Customs Charges 

Everything that comes into Jordan through shipping has to go through customs clearance. You have to pay customs duty and tax for every shipment that you procure. According to Jordan’s customs clearance rules you have to pay almost 52% of the shipment value as customs duty and tax. Each item is physically inspected in detail before it is handed over to you.

Time Required For Shipping to Jordan from the US

The total time your shipment will take to process depends on many things. The RoRo shipping method takes almost 3 weeks to ship a vehicle from the US to Jordan. On the other hand, you will have to wait for almost 4-6 weeks if you choose container shipping. You might receive your shipment early in the process of customs clearance happening quickly and there is no delay in the departure of your shipment.
