◉ Certification Introduction
Saber is an online certification management platform launched by the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO), designed to assist enterprises in completing the product registration, certificate issuance, and compliance COC certificate application processes, in order to enhance the customs clearance efficiency of imported goods into Saudi Arabia.
Currently, the Saber customs clearance system has achieved data interconnectivity with the Saudi FASAH customs system. This system evolved from the early SASO certification system. Since the phased implementation of Saudi Arabia's Technical Regulations (TR) in January 2019, the transition between the old and new systems was successfully completed in February 2020. According to current regulatory requirements, all importers of regulated goods must complete product registration through the Saber platform and obtain compliance certification documents after review before their goods can be successfully cleared through customs.
In addition, starting from January 1, 2025, SASO has announced that all goods exported to Saudi Arabia must be submitted through the SABER system and obtain a PCoC certificate.
