Land freight and car shipping from Qassim to Jordan takes a shorter road than routes from the Eastern Province: north from Buraidah through Hail, then Al-Jouf, then Al Qurayyat, the truck reaches the Al Haditha border, then Al Omari and Amman on a trip of about 1,200 kilometres. On this road travel trucks of Qassim dates and farm produce for Jordanian markets, alongside the household furniture of Jordanian and Saudi families relocating, and their cars.

Shipping dates and farm produce to Jordan
Qassim is a food basket, and Jordan is a nearby market for its dates, vegetables and factory products. Food shipments come with specific requirements:
- ✔Commercial invoice and packing list with description, quantity, value and weights.
- ✔Certificate of origin: goods of Arab origin may benefit from exemptions under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area agreement.
- ✔Health and phytosanitary certificates for food and farm products according to Jordanian import requirements.

Moving furniture from Qassim to Jordan
| Item | Preparation |
|---|---|
| Qassimi majlis sets | Layout photographed, each piece numbered and wrapped separately |
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Fully dismantled with panels and screws numbered |
| Sofas and suites | Blanket then film, legs protected |
| Appliances | Emptied, dried, secured and moved upright |
| Glass and chandeliers | Padded wooden crates |
Furniture travels in a closed truck and the car on a separate flatbed; mixing them on a trip this long exposes furniture to uncontrolled pressure and movement.

A Jordanian expatriate returning for good may be entitled to an exemption on used household furniture, under conditions set by Jordan Customs, notably: living abroad for at least a year, cancelling residence in Saudi Arabia, used non-commercial furniture, and a list certified by the Jordanian embassy. The exemption does not cover administrative fees at the crossings or shipping charges.
