Student Leaving Turkey: Shipping Belongings to Jordan

When you finish studying in Türkiye, carry your documents and valuable small devices, and ship books, clothes and household items in cartons. Ask the Jordan Customs Department before shipping how used personal belongings are treated, prepare a list for each carton, and photograph the contents before closing.

What stays with you and what ships

Your passport, certificates, official documents, laptop and phone stay in hand luggage and should never leave your sight. Heavy books, winter clothes, kitchen items and bedding suit cartons. The rule is practical: what can be replaced ships, and what cannot be replaced travels with you.

Used items and customs

Your used belongings are not a new order from a shop, and how Jordan treats used personal effects belongs to the Jordan Customs Department and can change, so we set no exemption or duty here. Ask the department or a clearing agent in Amman before you close the cartons, and keep the invoices of the devices you bought because they prove what they are.

How to arrange the cartons

Put books in a separate small carton because they reach the weight limit fast, and clothes and bedding in a large one because they fill volume. Do not mix glassware with books. Write a list of each carton’s contents and a number on it, and photograph the contents open before closing, which shortens any conversation if a piece goes missing or is damaged.

Route and timing

Jordan is served by road through Syria or by sea to Aqaba depending on shipment size, and smaller parcels are delivered to Amman, Irbid and Zarqa. Start preparing weeks before your return rather than days, and use the 30 days of free warehouse storage to gather farewell purchases. We confirm the schedule and cost once we know the size, so use the calculator before deciding what to leave behind.
