Ship a car, truck or machinery from the USA to Jordan

In a container to Aqaba, booked with the licensed carrier rather than a broker. Container protects the vehicle and lets three or four share one box so the freight splits. Cassandra Logistics is FMC-licensed under OTI No. 025125NF and issues the bill of lading in its own name. Get a price in 24 to 48 hours.

We do, as a licensed US NVOCC. We collect from any state, load and brace the vehicles at our own warehouse in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston or Baltimore, file the US export declaration and ship to Aqaba, Jordan's only seaport. The bill of lading comes from us as the carrier, which means one accountable party rather than a chain of intermediaries passing messages along.

Yes, and it is most of what moves on this lane. We collect directly from Copart, IAA, Manheim and eBay Motors yards anywhere in the United States, bring the vehicle to our warehouse and ship it. You never need to be in the country.

Yes. Nationwide pickup and towing from any state, whether the vehicle is at an auction yard, a dealer or a private seller. Non-runners get winched rather than driven, which is routine work. Distance affects the cost, not whether we can do it.

Yes. Tractor units, box trucks and commercial vehicles move by container where they fit and by flat-rack where they do not. Send us the make, model and transport dimensions and we will work out the most economical method for that unit. Import eligibility for commercial vehicles is often assessed differently from passenger cars at destination, so confirm it with your agent before you buy.

Yes. Excavators, loaders, dozers and plant bought at Ritchie Bros., IronPlanet or Purple Wave move regularly on this lane. Depending on size we ship containerised, on flat-rack or by heavy haulage, with dismantling and securing where required. Send the make, model and year and we will confirm the transport dimensions ourselves rather than asking you to measure the machine. See the equipment guide.

Yes. Full container freight from any US origin, including trade goods, building materials, spare parts and industrial equipment. Tell us the commodity, weight and volume and we will price it the same way we would a vehicle shipment. We handle the US export filing on commercial cargo exactly as we do on vehicles, so the paperwork side is one process rather than two.

Yes, and it is the single biggest saving on this lane. Ocean freight is charged on the container rather than per vehicle, so filling a 40ft box drops the cost per car sharply. Tell us the exact vehicles and we will confirm the loading plan.

It is Jordan's only seaport, and it sits within a special economic zone with its own customs treatment. That makes it both the entry point for Jordanian imports and a practical gateway for cargo continuing overland into Iraq and the wider Levant.

It is the main inland free zone in Jordan and a long-established centre for the regional vehicle trade. Goods held there for onward sale are treated differently from goods imported into Jordan for domestic use. Your customs agent confirms which regime applies to your shipment.

Yes, and the difference starts with the first document rather than at the end. Free zone cargo destined for onward sale follows a different route through customs from cargo being imported for use in Jordan. Tell us and your agent which applies before the vessel sails.

Cargo does move overland from Aqaba toward Iraq, and it is one reason the port sits where it does in the regional trade. We deliver to Aqaba and the onward leg is arranged by you or your agent. We say that plainly rather than implying a door delivery we cannot provide. See our Iraq guide.

It depends on where the cargo starts in the States, the container size and the commodity. Because we are the NVOCC rather than a reseller, the number you get is the carrier rate. Send us the cargo and the two locations for a firm figure. Request a quote

Collection from the US seller, transport to our warehouse, loading and bracing, the US export filing, and the ocean freight to Aqaba. Jordanian duties, taxes, port handling, your customs agent's fee and inland delivery sit outside it and are paid at that end.

Usually because they are broker prices that get revised once booked, or they exclude collection, loading or the export declaration. Ask what is excluded and who issues the bill of lading. A company that cannot issue one in its own name is reselling somebody else's space.

It scales with the distance from the seller to whichever of our four warehouses suits the routing. East Coast purchases usually position most efficiently for Red Sea sailings. We build the figure into the quote so you compare one complete number.

Yes. We can hold vehicles at our warehouse while you win others, then load them together in one container. Auction yards charge daily storage while our warehouse does not work that way, so waiting usually saves money rather than costing it. Tell us your buying pattern when you first make contact and we will plan the holding window around your auction schedule.

Customs duties, sales tax, port handling, your agent's fee and inland transport. These are assessed and charged in Jordan, and the figure differs sharply depending on whether the goods enter for domestic use or go into a free zone. Establish it with your agent before you buy.

Our warehouses in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston and Baltimore all serve Red Sea sailings, with East Coast departures most common. Routings to Aqaba usually involve transshipment through a Mediterranean or Red Sea hub, so the sailing schedule matters as much as the loading point.

It depends on the US loading port, the carrier's schedule and the transshipment involved, which is normal on this route. Flat-rack and breakbulk cargo takes longer because suitable sailings are less frequent. We give a concrete timeline with the quote. We tell you the realistic schedule rather than the best case, because a date you can plan around is worth more than an optimistic one.

Our service ends at the port of discharge. Inland delivery to Amman, Zarqa or elsewhere is arranged by your customs agent, who is also handling clearance. Tell us the final destination anyway, since it affects how the shipment should be declared. We can also recommend agents we have worked with before if you do not already have one in place at that end.

Within 24 to 48 hours in normal cases. Send the cargo details including the VIN or machine model, where it sits in the United States, and whether it stays in Jordan or goes to a free zone for onward sale. If anything about the cargo makes the lane unworkable we will say so in that same reply rather than quoting you and letting it surface later.

Usually three or four depending on the vehicles. Sedans and compact SUVs load efficiently, full-size American pickups take more room and often drop the count to two or three. We confirm the loading plan once we know the exact units. If you tell us the exact years and models we will confirm the count before you commit, rather than discovering it on loading day.

Loaded on its own wheels, chocked, strapped at the wheels or suspension rather than over the bodywork, and blocked so it cannot shift at sea. Where the straps attach is what separates a careful load from a damaged car, and it matters most on clean paint.

Yes. We photograph the vehicle when it reaches our warehouse and again once it is loaded and braced, before the doors close. That record also supports a claim if anything goes wrong in transit, which is why we do it as standard.

Only if they are declared on the export filing. Undeclared goods packed inside vehicles are among the most common causes of clearance problems across the region, and the consequence lands on the importer rather than on us. Send us the list. Send the list when you book and we will tell you whether anything on it is likely to cause a problem at your destination.

Yes. Jordan and the surrounding region drive on the right, so American vehicles suit the road configuration directly. There is no steering conversion step, which is a genuine cost and time advantage over right-hand-drive stock from other source markets. It also means the vehicle can be registered and used without modification work, which removes both a cost and a delay from the process.

The vehicle cannot be exported until the title or equivalent ownership document is in hand, because the US export filing requires it. We can collect and hold the car at our warehouse while it clears, which stops auction storage charges accumulating. Tell us early.

We arrange collection, bring the cargo to our warehouse, photograph it, book the container, load and brace it, file the US export declaration and send you the bill of lading. Your Jordanian customs agent takes it from Aqaba. You get the booking reference as soon as the space is confirmed, so you can track the sailing rather than waiting to hear from us.

We are the NVOCC. Cassandra Logistics is a federally licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediary under FMC licence OTI No. 025125NF, legally Royal Port Container Lines, Inc. The number is public and verifiable with the Federal Maritime Commission before you send anyone money. Ask any company quoting you for their FMC number, and if they cannot give you one they are not the carrier.
