Friends,
I will be moving to Doha soon from Riyadh. I was checking with Door to Door packers & movers but the moving cost is higher then the stuff i want to move (like kitchen utensils, cloths, blackets and stuff like that...). So i closed this option

There is other option that cargo operators will send my cargo upto Doha airport (it is much economical) and i had get it clear from Doha on my own and get it to where ever i want.

Need advice...
1] How is it easy to get cargo out of Doha airport
2] Is there any clearance agents available, if yes then how much they charge

Please advice what should i do...last option is i will not take anything from here to Doha...

Man, pack ur cargo by urself or get it done by some professional packers.. get it insured (Advisable) ... ie... prepare a list of all the items which u wanna ship; put a reasonable amount as the original cost of each item, take the list to an insurance co. they will give u a final amount which is agreed by the insurance co. as a total premium payable in case of lose. Just pay the premium (It will be something between 1500 - 2500 Riyals) depending on the items and total price u have quoted or agreed upon.. You can ship your goods by yourself or you can approach a professional freight movers/forwarders... You can clear your goods either by urself or by the agent of the freight forwarders here in Doha. when you get your goods in hands and if you find any damages to your goods, just notify the insurer's that you have sustained damages to so and so goods. And also sent a claim notification to the freight forwarders if any, holding them liable for the damages. In such case, insurance co. will appoint a surveyor/inspector who will come and inspect the damaged goods and will report to the Insurance Co. whatever the finding is... Accordingly, the insurance co. will settle your claim based on the inspectors report and terms and conditions of the Policy...

This is the normal procedure...

Its very easy, and cheap as well, I did the same,

Go to Qatar air Gargo Section, (opp Fmly food centr, airport road) you will find lot of agent from all nationality, they are all licenced agent, you will find them in uniform, give your air way bill and your passport, wait for an hour, pay 110 QR( 80 fee+ 30agent handling fee ),you will get your goods on your hand.
