+1 (818) 600-0008FCL and LCL ocean freight from Hamad Port, plus air cargo from Doha. Customs cleared,
picked up at LA and Long Beach, and delivered to your door anywhere in the U.S.
Qatar shipped $2.1 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025, up 12 percent, and while LNG dominates the headline trade, the containerized share is industrial: polymers and petrochemicals from the Ras Laffan and Mesaieed complexes, urea and fertilizers, and aluminum. One gateway carries nearly all of it. Hamad Port south of Doha, opened in 2017, is one of the newest and most modern container ports in the region. The stronger Qatari advantage is often in the air, since Doha's Hamad International ranks among the world's largest cargo hubs, with freighter capacity most origins this size can't offer.
AEEM Shipping manages the full move: FCL bookings and LCL consolidations out of Hamad Port, air cargo from Doha, customs clearance handled by licensed customs brokers while your freight is on the water, and same-day drayage at every San Pedro Bay terminal on arrival. One point of contact from Qatari origin to U.S. door, tracked in real time with 24/7 dispatch.
Origin port to final door, managed by one team.

Qatari containers carry the output of a gas economy: polyethylene and other polymers from Mesaieed, urea and ammonia-based fertilizers, and aluminum from one of the region's major smelters. Ocean routings from Hamad Port run eastbound through the Gulf and across the Indian Ocean and Pacific, reaching San Pedro Bay in roughly 33 to 39 days with transshipment at Jebel Ali, Colombo or Singapore. For lighter or urgent cargo, Doha's freighter network puts goods in LAX in one to two days, and on this lane that air option is genuinely competitive more often than usual.
The freight discipline mirrors the Saudi lane. Polymer classifications move real money line by line in the tariff schedule, fertilizer documentation needs to be clean before entry, and the long transit makes arrival execution matter, since a 35-day crossing shouldn't end with a week of terminal dwell. We sort classification at booking, run the air-versus-ocean comparison honestly per shipment, file ISF before loading, clear entries through licensed customs brokers while the freight is on the water, and keep the box moving on arrival with appointments set off the vessel ETA.

Hamad Port
Straight answers on freight from Israel to the U.S.
Eastbound routings from Hamad Port reach LA and Long Beach in roughly 33 to 39 days, typically transshipping at Jebel Ali, Colombo or Singapore. Air freight from Doha reaches LAX in one to two days. Add time for customs clearance and drayage to final delivery.
It depends on value and urgency. Doha is one of the world's largest air cargo hubs, so freighter capacity to LAX is strong and often competitive for lighter shipments, while polymers, fertilizer and aluminum ride ocean at a fraction of the cost. We quote both so you can compare landed cost against transit.
Rates move with container size, season, fuel surcharges, and routing. Send us the origin, cargo, and volume and we return a real all-in quote covering ocean freight, destination charges, duties, and delivery.
If your cargo fills most of a 20-foot container, FCL is usually faster and cheaper per unit. Smaller volumes move LCL, often consolidating through Jebel Ali, which typically adds one to two weeks over FCL because of consolidation at origin and deconsolidation on arrival.
Yes. Polymers need precise HTS classification because rates run line by line, and fertilizer products need complete documentation before entry. We sort both at booking, with entries handled by licensed customs brokers.
Our own drayage network picks up at every San Pedro Bay terminal, with pre-pull and overweight capability, then delivers to your door or transloads in the Inland Empire.
