Al Nadeeb is a platform that helps you to track and process your shipment to Qatar, ensuring everything is organized for smooth customs clearance.

If you are planning to ship any product to Qatar, preparing right documents is very important to avoid problems with customs clearance. Here, we have created a list of the major documents you must have and where to get them.
A document that lists your items, their prices, shipping terms, and payment information, including bank details and company stamp of your seller.
A document that provides a detailed description of your shipment, including the product name, HS code, number of cartons, packaging type, quantity of the items, weight, and size of each package.
A certificate that verifies the country where the goods that you want to import were produced, such as China
A document that serves as a receipt for goods being transported, confirming that a shipping carrier has received your cargo and will deliver it to your destination port. There are two types of bill of lading that you must present to the customs, whichever is needed, an original bill of lading (OMBL) or telex release (electronic copy of BL).
A document provided by the airline carrier that serves as a receipt for goods, confirming that the cargo has been accepted for transport. You will need this document for tracking and customs clearance in Qatar.
An import license is needed if you are going to ship certain products from China like food, agricultural products, medicines, toys, and cosmetics to ensure they comply with Qatar’s health, safety, and environmental standards.
A document needed to ensure that your imported goods follow the Qatari customs regulations. This form includes the exporter and importer details, goods description, goods value, weight and cbm, and customs duty breakdown.
These additional documents are required for certain types of goods. For example, food products need a sanitary certificate to prove they are safe for consumption, or batteries require a safety certification
Many of our customers say that the most stressful part of shipping from China is getting your goods through customs clearance in Qatar. Well, if you don’t have enough experience or the proper documents, it can be difficult to do it all by yourself. Don’t worry because DDPCH is here to guide and help you step by step.
Step 1: Arrange shipping and collect required documents
Before anything else, please make sure to arrange your shipment from China with DDPCH and obtain all the necessary documents applicable to your shipment such as packing list, proforma invoice, and certificate of origin.
Step 2: Submit customs declaration via Al Nadeeb System (نظام النديب)
Submit all your shipping documents and fill in the required details for your shipment. Also, make sure to submit your customs declaration form to Al Nadeeb system.
Step 3: Pay customs duties and taxes
Once you have submitted the declaration form, Qatari customs will calculate and break down the amount you need to pay for customs duties and taxes. Normally, when importing to Qatar, customs fees are calculated as 5% of the declared value of your shipment.
Step 4: Customs inspection and approval
At this time, customs authorities will check your shipment by conducting a physical inspection and document verification. This will help customs ensure that the declared information matches the shipment itself. If everything is in order, your shipment will be approved for entry into Qatar. If there is any issue, you may be asked to provide additional documents.
Step 5: Get customs clearance certificate and release order
Once your shipment has passed customs clearance, please visit the Al Nadeeb system and download your customs clearance certificate. Also, Qatari customs will provide you with a release order, allowing your goods to leave customs and be delivered to your location.

Major International Airports in Qatar
Main advantage for China to Qatar trade: Hamad International Airport is the main cargo hub for international shipments and known as the primary international airport in Qatar. It consist of well developed terminals and has been handling the majority of Qatar’s air cargo from China over the years.
IATA Code: DIA
Address: P.O Box 22550, Airport Street, Doha, Qatar
Main advantage for China to Qatar trade: Since most of the commercial passenger and cargo flights now operate through Hamad Airport (DOH), DIA is now used only for special flights, mainly for shipping cargo for government and military purposes.
If you are going to import any product from China to Qatar by air shipping, there are two main options that you can choose based on your budget and urgency which are the direct route and indirect route. Understanding the best shipping routes can help you choose the most suitable one for your shipping needs, whether you want a cost saving or fast air cargo service.
Direct Flights from China to Qatar
Indirect Flight from China to Qatar (Transshipment)
Most common transit airport: Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH)
Most common transit airport: Dubai International Airport (DXB), Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), Istanbul Airport (IST)
One of the first questions our customers ask is how much it costs to send a shipment from China to Qatar. Well, the price mainly depends on several factors, such as product type, weight and dimensions, incoterm, chosen airports, airline carriers, shipping routes, and flight schedule.
To give you an idea of the shipping cost, we have made a table for your reference.
Main City in China | Main City in Qatar | Type of Shipping Route | +100kg | +500kg |
Guangzhou | Doha / الدوحة | Direct | 5.7USD/kg | 3.5USD/kg |
Shanghai | Doha / الدوحة | Direct | 5.9USD/kg | 3.7USD/kg |
Beijing | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 4.7USD/kg | 2.6USD/kg |
Shenzhen | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 4.4USD/kg | 2.4USD/kg |
Beijing | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 5USD/kg | 2.8USD/kg |
As you can see above, direct flights are more expensive than indirect flights, mainly because they don’t have stopovers, and your shipment travels directly from China to Qatar. If you need your shipment urgently, we recommend using the direct flight.
But, if you can wait a little longer and want the cheapest air shipping to Qatar, then the indirect option is best. Please contact our DDPCH sales team for accurate pricing for your shipment.
Another important question that our customers always ask us is about the shipping time from China to Qatar. Well, it’s one of the most common questions that we get as knowing how long it takes for your cargo to arrive in any city in Qatar, like Doha, will help you to plan better and avoid delays. To give you an estimated transit time, please check our table below.
Main City in China | Main City in Qatar | Type of Shipping Route | Estimated Transit Time by Air Cargo |
Guangzhou | Doha / الدوحة | Direct | 3 to 5 business days |
Shanghai | Doha / الدوحة | Direct | 3 to 5 business days |
Beijing | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 5 to 8 business days |
Shenzhen | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 5 to 8 business days |
Beijing | Doha / الدوحة | Indirect | 5 to 8 business days |
As you can notice in the table, direct flights are faster than indirect flights, since indirect method have to make a few stops before flying directly to Qatar such as in Dubai or Abu Dhabi airport.
So, if you are in a hurry, we suggest that you use our direct air freight service from China. Please contact our DDPCH sales team for further assistance.
Are you wondering how thousands of goods are sent to Qatar all at once? Well, the answer is simple, most importers, especially big businesses, use sea freight or ocean freight services, where they can send a large volume of goods while keeping shipping costs as low as possible.
As we often hear from our customers, sea cargo provides the best balance between cost (the most economical) and capacity (for large and heavy goods). That’s why, in this article, we are going to tell you more about what makes sea cargo your ideal choice without breaking your budget.
Did you know that choosing the right port for your shipment from China can really save you both time and money? Yes, it’s definitely true as knowing which port works best for your needs can cut down on transit times, shipping costs, and even make customs clearance smoother. That’s why we have put together a list of the top seaports in Qatar that handle tons of cargo from China every month.
Port of Hamad / ميناء حمد
Port of Doha / ميناء الدوحة
Port of Mesaieed or Port of Umm Said / ميناء مسيعيد or ميناء أم سعيد
When shipping your goods to Qatar by sea cargo, there are two main shipping methods to choose from, which are FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less Than Container Load). If you are curious about which one is the best choice for your shipment, consider the size, urgency, and budget of your shipment. Here, we have provided a simple comparison between FCL and LCL.
If you think your shipment won’t reach 15 cbm or even smaller than that like around 1 to 3 cbm, it’s best to use the LCL sea freight method, as it is more cost effective to share container space with other shipments. This way, you can save a lot of money since you only pay for the space your cargo occupies, not the entire container.
But, please keep in mind that LCL shipping can take longer and carries higher risks than FCL, as multiple shipments are needed to fill the container.
Now, you might be curious about how much it costs to ship your goods by sea freight to the main port in Qatar, right? Similar to air cargo costs, sea freight costs also depend on many factors, such as:
Well, don’t worry, as DDPCH is here to provide you with our estimated shipping prices from major cities in China to the largest ports in Qatar.
