A Small Shop’s First Order from Turkey to Amman

A resale order differs from a personal one, so ask the Jordan Customs Department how commercial quantities are treated before you buy. Prepare an item list with quantities and the supplier’s invoices, choose the route by size, road through Syria or sea to Aqaba for larger loads, and start with a trial order where you work out the full cost per piece before you scale up.

A commercial order is not a personal one

A parcel of clothes for your family is treated as personal, while ten shirts in one size for a shop may be treated as a commercial quantity. We set no limit or duty here because they belong to the Jordan Customs Department and they change, so ask it or a clearing agent in Amman before you pay the supplier. That question is cheaper than having your order held on arrival.

What to prepare before ordering

Write a list of each item with its quantity, size, colour and unit price, ask the store or supplier for an invoice with the real item names, and keep product photos. Decide who receives in Jordan: the shop name or yours, and a number that is answered. Avoid restricted items such as certain liquids and preparations, and check the restricted-items page for Jordan before adding a new item to the list.

The route follows the size

Jordan is served by road through Syria or by sea to Aqaba depending on the shipment, smaller parcels are delivered to homes in Amman, Irbid and Zarqa, and Aqaba is the entry point for larger loads. We confirm the cost and schedule before departure, so ask for the quote in writing and read what it includes and excludes, especially customs and storage.

Unit cost before you scale

The full cost of a piece is its supplier price plus its share of freight, customs and any service fee, divided by the number of pieces. Put it in a small table and subtract it from your expected selling price. Start with a trial order whose loss you can bear if it does not sell, then scale up when the number really works for you.
