Saudi Arabia | SASO updates customs clearance procedures for imported goods
Time:
2024-11-13
Starting from January 1, 2025, Saudi Arabia requires all exported goods to obtain PCoC and SC certificates through the SABER system, and commitment letters are no longer applicable. The certificate needs to be issued before the goods arrive at the port. Violations will affect customs clearance. It is recommended that the trading party apply as soon as possible.

Recently, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) issued an important notice stating that starting from January 1, 2025, all goods exported to Saudi Arabia must submit an application through the SABER system and obtain the Product Conformity Certificate (PCoC) and the Shipment Certificate (SC). The aim is to ensure that imported goods meet Saudi Arabia's quality and safety standards in order to clear customs smoothly.
We would like to remind everyone to understand and comply with the latest requirements of SASO as soon as possible. At that time, the previously available Undertaking letters will no longer be applicable to the customs clearance process. The notice emphasizes that the corresponding SABER certificate needs to be issued before the goods arrive in Saudi Arabia, and any attempt to obtain the SABER certificate after the goods arrive in Saudi Arabia will also be considered a violation. It is recommended that all parties involved in the trade apply for the required certificates as early as possible before the goods are shipped to avoid affecting the normal customs clearance of the goods.
