Shipping to Doha
Doha, Qatar's capital, is the destination for most consignees in the country. Cargo is handled through Hamad Port south of the city and delivered or collected in Doha.
Practical tips. The tariff limits shipments to Qatar to 2,500 kg and 2 CBM, and cargo must be palletized; foodstuffs and chemical products are not accepted, and a certificate of origin is required. Residents clear personal effects with their Qatar ID and residence permit.
Doha's large expatriate population lives mainly in West Bay, The Pearl and Al Waab, where towers have loading docks and lifts that must be booked. Summer heat is extreme, so protect sensitive goods.
English is widely used in Qatari business, and documents in English are accepted. The city's metro and new road network have made deliveries much easier in recent years.
