Buy in Denmark, Shipped to Saudi Arabia
Your Danish purchase, sent on to Saudi Arabia. New goods with a receipt, received in Copenhagen, checked, repacked and tracked to your ground floor.
In short
GIA ships brand-new furniture, lighting and design pieces bought from Danish shops to private buyers and companies in Saudi Arabia, including from shops that will not ship there themselves. Your goods need their original packaging and a receipt. GIA receives or collects them in Copenhagen, inspects and repacks them, and ships them on, tracked on giaservice.dk. Saudi VAT, customs duty and the clearance are paid by the receiver, and delivery is to the ground floor.

Importing your Danish purchase into Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) customs union, which applies a common external customs tariff to goods from outside the GCC. Imports are also subject to Saudi VAT at 15%. Both are administered by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).
| VAT | 15% Saudi VAT on imported goods, calculated on the customs value plus any customs duty. |
|---|---|
| Customs duty | The GCC common customs tariff applies to goods from outside the GCC. The general rate is 5% of the customs value; some goods have other rates. |
| Who pays | The receiver pays VAT, customs duty and the clearance. GIA prepares the export documents in Denmark, and the shop’s receipt serves as the commercial invoice. |
| Pallets | Shipments to Saudi Arabia travel on heat treated, stamped Euro pallets. |
