Shipping to Amman
Amman, Jordan's capital, is about 330 km north of Aqaba on the Desert Highway. Cargo for Amman is cleared by customs at Aqaba and then trucked to the city, as the tariff notes.
Practical tips. Many returning Jordanian families, diplomats and staff of international organizations ship household goods to Amman. The HS code must appear on the bill of lading. Amman is built on hills, and some neighbourhoods have steep, narrow streets, so movers use smaller vehicles.
Choose Amman for consignees in Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and Madaba.
Many expatriates and international organizations live in western Amman, around Abdoun and Sweifieh, close to international schools. Jordan's currency is the dinar, and English is widely used in business, so documents in English are accepted. Allow a day or two for the trucking from Aqaba after clearance.
