Eligibility, pricing inputs, estimated transit and destination-specific preparation in one concise guide.
Saudi Arabia’s Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority — ZATCA — clears personal effects of residents and relocating students duty-free up to SAR 3,000 per shipment. Students bound for King Saud University or KFUPM on a student visa import used household goods free of duty, and the declaration is filed at King Khalid International or the destination port. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk through SLP Express, and the ZATCA officer wants the iqama or visa number paired with the packing list. SLP Express prepares that pairing before pickup. Saudi Customs enforces a strict prohibition on alcohol, pork, and non-halal food — we flag anything borderline before booking. New items above the threshold attract duty at 5 percent. DHL reaches Saudi addresses in three to five working days, clearance typically within a day.
A 30 kg trunk on a Hyderabad-to-Riyadh flight costs ₹19,000 in excess charges; SLP Express sends the same weight via DHL to King Saud University’s student housing or KFUPM’s Dhahran residences for under ₹13,000, delivered to the campus address. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk ahead of the student’s flight, and the ZATCA officer at King Khalid clears it faster when the iqama or visa and the packing list travel together. Our packing is complimentary and triple-layered: vacuum-sealed clothing, foam-protected laptops, double-boxed kitchen items separated from books. Saudi customs is strict on prohibited items — we scrub declarations before booking. DHL reaches Saudi addresses in three to five working days. WhatsApp tracking from pickup to delivery. Book seven working days before the semester to hold DHL capacity.

What Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) officers actually check. What we attach to every baggage parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.
A Transfer of Residence concession may apply to eligible returning residents, students or relocating professionals. Eligibility, document requirements and duty treatment depend on destination rules and personal circumstances, so confirmation from the receiving authority or a qualified broker may be required.
TR form support is also available for used goods shipped as personal effects — we help you document items correctly so they qualify as used personal belongings rather than commercial imports.
Packing is selected to limit unused volume, separate fragile items and suit the selected carrier's handling and chargeable-weight rules.
Clothes, bedding, winter wear, and soft goods are vacuum-sealed to compress volume by up to 40%. Every cubic centimetre saved reduces your volumetric weight — directly lowering the final shipping cost. Your student can ship more for the same price.
Electronics, kitchenware, and fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble-wrap and packed inside a corrugated reinforced inner box. Every item is photographed before sealing — creating a photographic inventory record for your reference and for any insurance claim.
Export-grade 7-ply corrugated outer carton, double-taped seams, heavy-duty strapping bands, and customs-ready labelling. Built to withstand cargo-hold stacking, conveyor belts, and the full international transit journey to Saudi Arabia.
