Importing furniture from China to Saudi Arabia

China supplies a large share of the furniture sold in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, from office chairs to full villa fit-outs. Foshan in Guangdong is the main furniture hub, with thousands of factories and showrooms.

Where to source

  • Foshan (Lecong and Longjiang): home, office and hotel furniture
  • Dongguan and Shenzhen: export-grade upholstered and panel furniture
  • Zhejiang (Anji): office chairs

Getting it right

  • Approve samples or a factory showroom piece before mass production
  • Check wood moisture, fabric and foam quality
  • Insist on export packing: corners, foam and strong cartons
  • Plan the container load: knock-down furniture fits far more per container

Shipping and clearance

Furniture is bulky, so it almost always goes by sea, usually in a 40' high cube. We consolidate several factories in one container, clear customs and deliver to your showroom, warehouse or villa, with unloading.
