Global Shipping has many years of experience in international shipping, with a strong specialisation in import and export operations to and from Middle Eastern and Eastern countries.
This experience has made our company an expert in the rules to be followed for the movement of goods in such areas, and now allows us to be a reliable partner for companies interested in shipping goods to countries such as Kuwait, a strategic market in the Gulf area.
Our international freight forwarding experts are able to support customers throughout the entire import and export business planning process: we listen to your business needs to identify the most effective solutions in relation to the type of goods and urgency of delivery, prepare the necessary documentation for shipment, and personally follow the transit of goods, offering appropriate monitoring services.
If, as part of your business, you plan to ship goods to Kuwait, you should know that there are several bureaucratic requirements to be met to ensure that the goods arrive at their destination.
The introduction of international cargo into the country requires the preparation of a number of documents: the Commercial Invoice, the packing list, the Declaration of Free Export, the Certificate of Origin, and any additional certificates to be produced when transporting particular types of goods. It is then necessary to ensure that all documents concerning the transport, packaging and labelling of packages to be shipped to Kuwait are in order.
Beware, however: Kuwait has certain limitations for the introduction of particular categories of goods, which may therefore require special authorisations – foodstuffs, for example – or products that may be totally banned from entry (products containing alcohol and pork, for example).
In the course of your business activities, do you need to import goods from Kuwait to Italy? Again, you should be aware that several documents are required to carry out all business transactions properly.
In order to bring goods into the country from Kuwait, it is necessary to produce the specific documentation certifying the characteristics of the goods and the producer and buyer details, as well as the value of the goods (Certificate of Origin and Commercial Invoice), the declaration of free import as well as the bill of lading.
Shipping goods to and importing finished goods and raw materials from Kuwait requires some knowledge of freight regulations and the local context and culture.
Relying on an experienced partner for shipments to and from Kuwait becomes crucial for the success of your business. Discover our shipping services by sea and air by contacting us at [email protected]

The differences concern both cubic capacity and weight that can be loaded. A standard 20ft container can hold up to about 21.500 kilos of goods (24.000 kilos tare weight included) and has an average capacity of 30 cbm; there also certified containers that can hold up to about 27.500 kilos of goods (30.480 kilos tare weight included). A 40 ft container can generally squeeze about 60 cbm worth of goods inside and you can load 26.500 kilos of goods (30.460 kilos tare weight included).
Among the factors to be taken into consideration are requested time for the loading; place of loading; type of goods; shipping company.
