The vast ocean and varied landscapes place restrictions, ruling out road or rail transport. However, fear not! Two primary options steer the cargo course. One is taking the high skies with air freight; it's speed personified - like a falcon soaring with your goods. Conversely, ocean freight is the resilient turtle, slower but cost-effective, lugging larger loads. It's all about balance, like picking between speed and baggage load during vacation planning.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cac8efd link-list-item-destination elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-link-list-widget\" data-id=\"2cac8efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-link-list-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"link-list-item text-center\">\r\n            <ul class=\"m-0 p-0\">\r\n                <li>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#main-shipping\">\r\n                            Sea freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#air-freight\">\r\n                            Air Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#rail-freight\">\r\n                            Rail Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#road-freight\">\r\n                            Road Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#door-to-door\">\r\n                            Door-to-Door                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#customer-clear\">\r\n                            Customs Clearance                        <\/a>\r\n                                    <\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-237d0d28 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"237d0d28\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65d83810 sidebar-sticky elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"65d83810\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54029a73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-table-of-content-widget\" data-id=\"54029a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-table-of-content-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"table-of-content-list-item\">\r\n            <div class=\"title d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n                Table of Contents                <label class=\"docshipper switch\">\r\n                    <input type=\"checkbox\" checked>\r\n                    <span class=\"slider round\"><\/span>\r\n                <\/label>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- TOC -->\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"toc-container\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"note-content\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/docshipper\/assets\/img\/cta.png')\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need help with your shipment?<\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need assistance with your shipment?

To illustrate, if your shipment weighs <strong>25 kg<\/strong>, it&#8217;s around <strong>55 lbs<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p><strong>Calculating the volumetric weight involves a bit more math. The formula commonly used in the air freight industry is Length x Width x Height (in cm) \/ 6000. Let&#8217;s say you have a parcel that measures 50 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 30 cm in height. The volumetric weight would be 50 x 40 x 30 \/ 6000, which equals to 10 kg, or approximately 22 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>For Express Air Freight, the same concepts apply, but the standard divisor is 5000 instead of 6000, which increases the volumetric weight. Using the same dimensions as before, the calculation would be 50 x 40 x 30 \/ 5000, resulting in 12 kg, or about 26.5 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>These calculations matter because freight charges in air transportation are based on the higher of the two weights. So in these examples, for Air cargo, you would be charged based on the gross weight (<strong>25 kg<\/strong>), while for Express Air Freight, you&#8217;d pay for the volumetric weight (<strong>12 kg<\/strong>). Understanding this helps you make informed decisions when preparing your goods for shipment, potentially saving time and money.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b061e63 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b061e63\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1492\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1493\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1507\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8ee3b95 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c8ee3b95\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d26f7cd7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d26f7cd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between Qatar and US<\/h2><br><p>Navigating international deliveries becomes simple with <a href=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/door-to-door-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Door to Door shipping<\/strong><\/a>, where your goods journey from Qatar to the US, all hassle-free.

Custom administrations use these codes to identify and levy duties on imported goods. You&#8217;ll find the process of shipping significantly smoother when equipped with the correct HS Code for your product.<\/p><br><p><strong>For most of you, the simplest method to discover the HS Code is to approach your supplier directly. Owing to their industry experience and familiarity with the products and corresponding regulations, they should be well-versed in this information.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>However, there might be occasions when asking your supplier isn&#8217;t feasible. In such cases, we&#8217;ve outlined an easy step-by-step process for you. Begin by utilizing an HS lookup tool, specifically, <strong><a style=\"color: #800000\" href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a><\/strong>. To find the HS Code, simply input the product&#8217;s name into the search bar. Upon completing the search, you can identify the HS Code under the Heading\/Subheading column.<\/p><br><p>Remember: It&#8217;s crucial to ensure accuracy when identifying your HS Code. Any discrepancies can lead to shipment delays and, unfortunately, the imposition of fines. The accurate HS Code keeps your business and shipments on the right side of regulations.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s an infographic showing you how to read an HS code.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec6f1b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec6f1b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-72b98f34\" data-id=\"72b98f34\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68144445 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68144445\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1509\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png 744w, https:\/\/qatar.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-639b3811 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"639b3811\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78e87d7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78e87d7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 3 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3><br><p><strong>Customs value<\/strong> can seem a bit tricky, it&#8217;s not just the price you paid for the goods. <strong>Imagine you bought a sculpture in Qatar for $1,000.<\/strong> That&#8217;s what you paid, but it&#8217;s not the customs value when importing to the US.

Importantly, the largest liquefied natural gas exporter, Qatar exports<strong> $1.5 billion<\/strong> worth of gas to America <strong>annually.<\/strong> Moreover, bilateral investment between the two nations exceeds <strong>$200 billion<\/strong>. For instance, Qatar&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund invested more than <strong>$45 billion<\/strong> in US businesses and infrastructure from 2016-2020. American companies also enjoy a strong presence in the Qatari market, playing a crucial role in Qatar&#8217;s diversification efforts, and having a hand in major milestones like the Qatar World Cup&#8217;s infrastructure development. This vibrant economic relationship serves as a testament to the shared economic vision of both countries.<strong>In 2024, the United States imported approximately $1.87 billion worth of goods from Qatar, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade.<\/strong><\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c67ee8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c67ee8e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-612237e3\" data-id=\"612237e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b767bf7 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6b767bf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Your first steps with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2f0090 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a2f0090\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStressed by complex regulations in the Qatar-US shipping pipeline?
