If you trade home appliances in Sharjah and need a shipping company from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait to move washing machines, fridges and air conditioners in bulk to a showroom or warehouse in Khamis, or you want to ship a pickup truck to Asir, the usual way is by road. We load the goods on pallets at your warehouse or at our Industrial Area 18 branch, the truck crosses Al Ghuwaifat and then Al Batha, where clearance is done electronically through the Fasah platform, and it reaches Khamis Mushait in about 4 to 5 days including clearance. Al Basmah International Shipping takes orders on WhatsApp +971557643821 at any hour and sends you an update at loading, at the border and before delivery.

What we ship from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait
Sharjah is a big wholesale market for home appliances, and Khamis Mushait is the commercial hub of the Asir region, supplying Abha, Ahad Rafidah, Tendaha and Sarat Abidah. So most of what moves on this line is showroom stock: large appliances in their original cartons, shipped in batches for traders to display and sell ahead of summer or before winter.
- Large appliances: front- and top-load washers, dryers, single- and double-door fridges, chest freezers, dishwashers and free-standing cookers.
- Air conditioners: split units with indoor and outdoor parts, window units and floor-standing units for shops and halls.
- Small appliances: vacuums, blenders, water heaters, heaters for the mountain winter and small kitchen appliances in master cartons.
- Showroom fittings: metal display racks, fridge plinths, signage and display accessories.
- Vehicles: single- and double-cab pickups, SUVs and sedans.
- Other shipments: household furniture for families relocating, small parcels, and farm and beekeeping equipment.
A trader’s shipment differs from a household move in one key way: every carton has a model number and a price, and any shortage or damage shows up when the showroom counts stock. That is why we start from the packing list, not from the truck, and load so that a showroom employee in Khamis can match pallets to the list in minutes.
Pickup areas in Sharjah
We collect from any address in the emirate of Sharjah, coordinated from the Industrial Area 18 branch. The most common pickup points on this line:
- Industrial Areas 1 to 18: warehouses of appliance traders and distributors, plus Al Sajaa Industrial Area.
- Free zones: Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone) and Hamriyah Free Zone; goods leaving them need free-zone exit documents before loading.
- Residential and commercial areas: Al Nahda, Al Majaz, Al Khan, Al Taawun, Al Qasimia, Abu Shagara, Rolla, Muwaileh and Al Qarayen, for anyone shipping furniture or a small shop’s stock.
- The eastern towns of the emirate: Al Dhaid, Mleiha, Kalba and Khor Fakkan by prior appointment.
If your stock sits in a warehouse without a loading dock, tell us before the appointment so we send a truck with a tail lift or arrange a forklift. Hand-lifting large fridges off the ground doubles the chance of scratches and dents.
The road route from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait
The truck leaves Sharjah westwards through Abu Dhabi to Al Ghuwaifat on the UAE side and Al Batha on the Saudi side, where customs clearance is done electronically through the Fasah platform. It then passes Al Ahsa (Hofuf) and Riyadh, heads south through Al Kharj, Wadi Al Dawasir and Bisha, and finally climbs onto the Asir highlands to Khamis Mushait. The total distance is roughly 2,000 km.
- Small closed dyna (about 3 tons): for a trial batch of appliances or a small shop’s stock.
- 5-ton and 7-ton dynas: for medium showroom orders or a full home.
- 10-ton lorry: for a large order of ACs or washing machines.
- Closed trailer 12–13.6 m: for a full showroom load on pallets, leaving on your date.
- Shared load: for smaller quantities, priced per cubic metre; it may wait a few days until the truck fills.
A trader who needs stock on the floor before a particular season is better off with a dedicated truck; anyone with a small order who can wait saves with a shared load.
Transit times from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait and nearby cities
| Destination | Road (approx.) | Air (approx.) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Khamis Mushait districts (industrial and showroom areas, Al Wurud, Al Mansurah, Al Shifa, Al Rasras…) | 4 – 5 days | 2 – 4 days | Direct delivery to the showroom or warehouse |
| Abha | 4 – 5 days | 2 – 4 days | About 25–30 km from Khamis |
| Ahad Rafidah | 4 – 5 days | 2 – 4 days | South of Khamis Mushait |
| Bisha | About 4 days | 2 – 4 days via Riyadh | On the road before the climb into Asir |
| Riyadh | 2 – 4 days | 1 – 2 days | Transit point heading south |
These times are approximate and depend on complete commercial documents, border congestion and public holidays. Any delay with conformity certificates means the truck waits at Al Batha, so we check the papers before loading, not after. If part of the stock is going to Riyadh, see shipping company from Sharjah to Riyadh.
Air freight from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait
Air freight is not for washing machines and fridges; their weight and volume put the air cost far beyond any trading margin. It does help a trader in specific cases: spare parts for waiting customers, control boards and electronic cards, samples of new models before the main order arrives, or original documents. The shipment leaves Sharjah International Airport (or Dubai or Abu Dhabi) for Abha International Airport, a short drive from Khamis Mushait, where cargo capacity is limited, or goes via Jeddah or Riyadh and then by road. It usually takes about 2 to 4 days including clearance.
- Suits: spare parts, urgent small appliances, samples and documents.
- Restricted by air: lithium batteries (cordless vacuums and some rechargeable appliances), liquids and perfumes.
- How it is priced: actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000), whichever is higher.
A realistic example: a 50 × 40 × 40 cm carton of spare parts has a volumetric weight of about 13 kg, so if it actually weighs 6 kg you pay for 13 kg. Sea freight is used by large importers for full containers into Jeddah Islamic Port or Jazan port and then by road up to the highlands; for showroom orders from Sharjah, road remains the practical choice.
Packing appliances and preparing pallets
An appliance’s original carton is designed for stacking and handling, and the common mistake is loading it as it is, without a pallet and without securing it. On a road of about 2,000 km with a mountain climb at the end, any loose carton shifts and presses on the one beside it.
- Pallets: one model per pallet where possible, stretch-wrapped and strapped, labelled with its number and carton count.
- Stacking limits: we follow the layer count printed on the carton and the “this way up” mark, and never put fridges on washers or the other way round.
- Fridges and freezers: always loaded upright. After arrival, leave the unit standing for a few hours before switching it on so the compressor oil settles.
- Washing machines: drum transit bolts stay in place until the buyer installs the unit.
- Split ACs: indoor and outdoor units come in two cartons; we give both the same number so no unit is displayed without its partner.
- Edge protection: cardboard corner guards on pallet edges and layer sheets between tiers for glass-fronted appliances.
- Against moisture: a plastic cover over the pallets, because Khamis Mushait gets summer rain and fog, and wet cardboard loses its strength.
Documents for shipping appliances and vehicles to Khamis Mushait
Commercial goods (home appliances)
- A commercial invoice with models, quantities and values, and a packing list matching the pallet numbering.
- A certificate of origin. Goods of UAE (GCC) origin with a GCC certificate of origin are exempt from customs duty; for most appliances made outside the Gulf, the team checks the customs position with the clearing agent before loading.
- Conformity certificates through the SABER platform: a product certificate of conformity, then a shipment certificate for the consignment itself, which is used at clearance.
- Appliances covered by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization energy-efficiency programme, such as ACs, fridges, freezers and washing machines, must be registered, carry the energy-efficiency label and meet the minimum rating.
- A Saudi commercial registration for the consignee in Khamis Mushait.
- Saudi VAT of 15% applies on imports.
Warning: An AC or washing machine model that is not registered in the energy-efficiency programme can be refused at the border even if every other paper is in order. Send us the model numbers before loading so the team and the clearing agent can check them.
Personal effects and used furniture
A copy of the owner’s passport and Saudi ID or iqama/residence visa, and a detailed contents list in Arabic or English. New appliances in commercial quantities inside a household load are treated as dutiable goods.
Pickups and other vehicles
The vehicle registration, the export certificate and plate cancellation from the emirate’s licensing authority, and a copy of the owner’s passport and ID. Used passenger cars must not be more than 5 years old from the model year, and any special case is checked with the team before booking.
Shipping pickup trucks from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait
Pickups are in demand in Asir: farm and apiary owners in the mountain villages around Khamis use them, and appliance traders use them for deliveries inside the city. We ship them in an enclosed carrier, because the road is long and crosses desert before the mountains, and dust gets into the load bed and cabin and scratches the paint.
- Empty load bed: no tools, no extra spare tyres, no goods; the vehicle travels free of personal belongings.
- Canopies and racks: any bed cover, canopy or fitted winch must be mentioned at booking because it changes the height.
- Securing: wheel straps inside the enclosed carrier, with photos of the vehicle at collection sent to you on WhatsApp.
- The open option: also available for a lower cost, with sedans from 2,000 AED and SUVs from 2,750 AED.
Modified pickups or heavy commercial-use units are handled differently, so send a photo of the registration before booking so the team can confirm the import conditions. To ship a vehicle to another Saudi city, see shipping company from Sharjah to Saudi Arabia.
Prohibited and restricted items
- Prohibited: narcotics, alcohol, pork products, gambling tools and counterfeit goods, including appliances with fake brand marks.
- Weapons and ammunition without permits.
- Prior permits needed: drones and some medicines.
- Restricted: soil and plants.
- Honey, food products and cosmetics are subject to SFDA requirements.

What raises or lowers the cost of an appliance order?
- Number and height of pallets: tight stacking on uniform pallets reduces the space you pay for.
- Truck type: shared is cheaper for small quantities; dedicated is faster and better value when you fill it.
- Documents: missing papers mean waiting at the border, and waiting costs money.
- Delivery point: a showroom on a main Khamis road is different from a warehouse in a mountain village that needs a smaller truck for the last leg.
- Loading and unloading: a dock and a forklift at both ends save time.
- Car carrier type: enclosed costs more than open.

Delivery to Khamis Mushait showrooms and nearby towns
Most appliance showrooms in Khamis Mushait are on the main commercial roads and in the industrial areas, and we also deliver in Al Wurud, Al Mansurah, Al Shifa, Al Mustaqbal, Al Musif, Al Nur, Al Ta’awun, Al Azhar, Al Safa, Al Rasras, Al Dhurfah and the Dhahban area. We also reach Abha, Ahad Rafidah, Tendaha, Sarat Abidah and Bisha.
- Forklift: if the showroom has one, pallets come straight off the truck; if not, we agree the unloading arrangement with you in advance.
- Unloading time: showrooms on busy streets are best unloaded in the morning, before customers arrive.
- Mountain roads: warehouses in villages and farms around the city may need a smaller truck for the last leg because the roads are steep and winding; the team checks access with the receiver.
- Rain: on rainy days pallets are not left outside the showroom; the receiver prepares a covered space before arrival.

Tips for appliance traders before shipping
- Ship a small trial batch of a new model before the big order to confirm it clears at the border.
- Keep a digital copy of the invoice and packing list on your phone; the clearing agent may ask for it at any moment.
- Do not mix personal belongings with commercial goods in the same shipment; it complicates clearance.
- Ask the showroom employee to inspect the outer cartons at unloading and note any remark before signing.
- Ask the team about optional insurance if the order value is high.
- Plan AC orders well before summer, because showrooms all order them in the same period.
FAQ: shipping from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait
How long does an appliance shipment take from Sharjah to Khamis Mushait?
About 4 to 5 days by road to the showroom door including clearance; a shared load may take a few extra days until the truck fills. A dedicated truck leaves on your date.
Do washing machines, fridges and ACs need a SABER certificate?
Yes. Electrical appliances need conformity certificates through the SABER platform, and appliances such as ACs, fridges and washing machines must be registered in the energy-efficiency programme and carry the label. Send the model numbers so the team can check them before loading.
Can I ship appliances in my own name to sell in Khamis?
Commercial goods need a consignee with a Saudi commercial registration. Used appliances from your own home travel with your personal effects, using a contents list and a copy of your ID.

No. Fridges and freezers are always loaded upright, and it is best to leave them standing for a few hours after arrival before switching on.

Can urgent spare parts go by air?
Yes, from Sharjah, Dubai or Abu Dhabi airport to Abha airport or via Jeddah or Riyadh, in about 2 to 4 days. Lithium batteries and liquids are restricted by air.
