How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Motorcycle from the USA to Saudi Arabia?
Shipping rates depend on several key factors:
- Motorcycle size and weight
- Preferred shipping method (air freight, sea freight, or crated shipping)
- Departure port in the United States
- Final destination location within Saudi Arabia
- Optional services such as crating, insurance, and home delivery
Saudi Arabia’s major ports — including Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, and King Abdullah Port — receive frequent shipments, keeping costs competitive.
Shipping Methods for Motorcycles to Saudi Arabia
You can choose from three reliable shipping methods depending on your needs:
1. Air Freight
The fastest option for high-value motorcycles or urgent deliveries. Bikes shipped by air typically arrive in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam within days. This method offers maximum speed and security.
2. Sea Freight
The most economical and widely chosen option for most riders. Motorcycles are shipped in containers or via RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels to major Saudi ports.
3. Crated Shipping
Your motorcycle is placed inside a custom-built wooden crate for enhanced security. Crating protects the bike from movement, weather exposure, and handling during transit.
Customs and Duties in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has straightforward motorcycle import regulations, but compliance is essential for smooth clearance.
Common Customs Charges Include:
- Import Duty: Typically around 5–12% of the motorcycle’s CIF value
- Value Added Tax (VAT): 15% applied to the total landed cost
- Inspection Fees: Required for vehicle verification
- Compliance Requirements: Motorcycles must meet Saudi safety and environmental standards
Working with a licensed customs broker makes the process faster and hassle-free.

- Crating for maximum protection
