Riyadh is a landlocked city, so all sea cargo for import from India to Riyadh arrives through the nearest seaports — primarily King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam (on the Arabian Gulf coast), which is approximately 400 km from Riyadh, or Jubail Commercial Port. From these ports, goods are transported by road to Riyadh.
The total transit time for sea freight from India export to Riyadh is approximately 10–14 days. From Mundra Port (India) to Dammam Port, the sea leg takes 7–9 days; from Nhava Sheva (Mumbai) it is 8–10 days. After Saudi Customs clearance at Dammam, road delivery to Riyadh takes 4–6 hours (approximately 400 km).
For urgent shipments, air freight from Indian airports (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) to King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh takes 24 to 48 hours — ideal for pharma, electronics, spare parts, and high-value goods.
At 3Hatz India Pvt. Ltd., we manage the complete export chain: Indian port loading → sea/air freight → Dammam/Riyadh customs clearance under ZATCA (Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) → SABER product registration → SFDA compliance where needed → final delivery to Riyadh warehouses, industrial zones (Riyadh Second Industrial City), and King Salman Energy Park (SPARK).
We also support Vision 2030 project supply chains, NEOM-related procurement, and SABIC supplier networks that source from India.
