We’re bringing furniture from abroad and need advice on customs and local movers.
What should I know about the process of moving household goods into Qantara East Center?
1 Answer
When importing household items, you must file a customs declaration with the national customs authority and provide an inventory list, purchase receipts, and a copy of your residency permit. Duties are generally low for personal effects that have been owned for at least six months. After clearance, you can hire a local moving company that offers door‑to‑door service, including loading, transport, and unpacking. It’s wise to obtain several quotes and verify that the company is licensed by the transport ministry. Some expats also use the port’s cargo handling services for larger shipments. For detailed procedures, consult the customs authority’s website or the expatriate assistance office at the embassy.
