Home / Logistics Knowledge / Saudi Arabia Customs: Latest Import Regulations
Saudi Arabia runs imports through the SABER digital platform, where a Certificate of Conformity is required before most goods can clear. Plan for it early in production.
Most Saudi imports require two certificates issued via the SABER platform: a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) covering the product type, and a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) covering the specific shipment. Both are normally obtained before the goods leave the origin country.
Most goods face a 5 percent customs duty under the GCC common tariff, with a 15 percent VAT applied on import. A few product categories carry higher or specific rates.
