Doha Port - Shipping from UK
Hi,
I am having some of my goods shipped over from the UK and wanted some advice about port charges/service etc.
Items I'm bringing are things like books/manuals and clothes/toileteries etc...
Does anyone know what charges are involved and is there any info online?
Regards
PS- what's the weather like there in April?
Can someone recommend a good and affordable shipping company from the UK?
Cheers
Think about taking a vacation if you and your associate are looking your next loving experience. Many partners need a crack from their everyday workouts loaded with large workloads, stressful plans, and kids. This crack often comes by means of a loving vacation on a vacation.

G'day,
I'm also making the move from Sydney Australia to Doha in May. I've been given a relocation allowance of US$8,000 by the company and would like to bring in my furniture and belongings in a 20 foot container. Could you suggest or advise based on your experience which service to use and associated costs?
Thanks
You can contact Qatar Logistics on the Doha end and have them clearing the boxes for you and delivering them. They are so efficient, well priced and 100% reliable.

Chapter (4) : Personal effects and household items
Article (103)
The personal effects and used household items brought into the country by the nationals residing abroad or the foreigners coming for the first time for residence in the State shall be exempted from customs duties, subject to the conditions and restrictions...

DDU Shipment (Delivered Duty Unpaid)- where goods placed at the disposal of the consignee (you) at Doha port, therefore, upon cargo arrival, cost will be: docs fee, customs clearance (minus the import tax) and haulage service to delivery address.
suggestion, if you don't know of any good forwarder here in Qatar, send it DDP.
And what did that cost and do you know the size / weight of your goods?
I recently shipped a large shipment of goods from the US via Allied Shipping. I paid the US company, they inventoried, packed, boxed, and shipped everything here to Qatar. Once it cleared customs, it was picked up by the partner company here in Doha and delivered to my door.
I never had to deal with a single piece of paper on the Doha side of things, aside for signing my inventory and acknowledging receipt of shipment.
Thank you for your replies, appreciated.
I think big companies = big bills.
I've got a small company and arranged for the items to be delivered to port only...2-4 boxes of books and clothes, might see what else I can add to the pallets, lol.
Yep, give it to the courier company with your belongings in the UK. We had a door to door service too, but we used a small company. Not sure if it makes a difference, but we had our belongings brought over by air.

Find a good forwarder in the UK who could deliver your stuff door-to-door (that's DDP, Delivered Duty Paid for Incoterms 2000), so receiver should not worry about anything to pay as shipper will pay all the charges before it can be shipped out from the UK to Qatar.
DHL, UPS and Fedex can handle this kind of shipment, just dont forget, Shipping Terms should be DDP in the Airway Bill.
btw, April weather starts to warm, hot season's peak July and August
Cheers!
Thanks you for that great tip, lol.
Is that the courier in UK I need to give the note to? He's already aware of my belongings...
He told me as I will be working for the Govt I may be charged less...but free is better!!
Hope to hear again.
We didn't get charged anything extra at this end. Give a note to the courier company stating it's personal belongings and you will be taking them back when you leave Qatar, then they will give it to customs. Hopefully, you won't get charged either.
