Stock lots for Makkah shops and hotel suppliers
Your trade swings with visitor numbers. You need stock in place before busy visitor months start, and you need it close. Jeddah port is about 80 km away.
A market shaped by visitors
Makkah has a resident population plus large numbers of visitors through the year. Visitors arrive light and buy on arrival. That creates steady demand for sandals, slippers, travel bags, simple cotton clothing and towels. Hotel suppliers need bedsheets and towels in bulk. Most Makkah buyers stock up through Jeddah, so read Jeddah stock lots too. The country overview sits on our Saudi stock lots hub.
Timing your Makkah stock
- Busy visitor months: the biggest sales window. Stock must be on shelves before it starts.
- Summer season: residents and visitors buy light clothing and sandals.
- Back-to-school: resident families buy kids wear and school bags.
- Quieter months: the right time to buy, clear and warehouse your next lot.
Because the city's peaks are sharp, buy early. Tell Kifayatullah your target month and he plans around it.

Clearance and paperwork
Your lot clears at Jeddah through ZATCA. Import VAT is 15%. Most goods attract the GCC common external tariff of 5% on value, though some lines differ by HS code. You need a Commercial Registration and customs registration. SABER certificates apply to many consumer products, including some footwear and children's items. We check HS codes before shipping and confirm documents per shipment.
