Shipping from China to Jordan: Customs, Cost, Transit Time and More [2026]

Freight forwarding from China to Jordan is complex, but we’ve been making it easy for over twenty years and we’re at the top of our game. Shipping is easy when you find the experts, and that’s why so many companies trust us with their supply chain managements.
Import into Jordan
All Jordanian and foreign trading companies must either obtain an importer’s card from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply for customs clearance purposes or pay a Customs bond equivalent to five percent of the value of the imported goods.
Jordan Customs stipulates that goods with a value of more than 1,000 Jordanian dinars must go through customs clearance procedures through a customs clearance company.
After the imported goods arrive at the border port, they can be transferred to any customs clearance point designated by the importer for customs clearance at the request of the importer; or, upon application by the importer, after filling out the storage form, conducting necessary inspections, registration and valuation, the customs clearance company can provide a guarantee and transport the goods to the bonded warehouse in the free zone for storage, and the customs duties will be paid when the goods are picked up.
Jordan Customs uses the Customs Integrated Tariff System (CITS), which importers can utilize to determine commodity tariffs, import conditions, trade agreements, regulations, and other requirements.
Invoices do not have to be written in Arabic, but the importer is required to provide an Arabic translation. Typically, this requirement is met by having the importer hand-write the translation on the actual invoice.

Aqaba is connected to Eilat, Israel in the northwest, Saudi Arabia in the southeast, and Egypt‘s Sinai Peninsula across the sea in the southwest. Its geographical location is very unique and superior.
The routes of Aqaba Port are connected to more than 200 ports around the world, except the West African coast and the western coast of South America. The service is open 24 hours a day, except for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Sea Freight Cost from China to Jordan
Sea freight container rates depend on several factors, including the weight, type and size of imported goods, as well as freight time and carrier choice.
For example. The port-to-port FCL rate from Shanghai China to Aqaba Jordan is US$2,000 for 1x20ft container, US$2,500 for 1x40ft container.
Sea Freight Transit Time from China to Jordan
If you are not in a hurry, you can ship your goods by sea, considering that sea freight consumes more time than air, and accordingly, it can be said that sea freight is less expensive than air freight because it takes longer.
