4.Shipping Cost & Import Cost to Middle East (Updated Market 2026)

When importing a used excavator from China to the Middle East, shipping cost depends heavily on global freight market conditions, vessel availability, and geopolitical factors.

Normal Market Shipping Cost (Stable Period)：

• China → UAE (Jebel Ali): USD 2,500 – 4,500

• China → Saudi Arabia: USD 3,000 – 5,000

• China → Oman / Qatar: USD 3,000 – 5,500

Current Market Shipping Cost (2025–2026 Reality)：
Due to global disruptions (Red Sea route risk, fuel surcharge increase, vessel rerouting, insurance rise), freight cost has increased significantly.

• China → Saudi Arabia: USD 9,000 – 13,500
