SABER is central to conformity procedures for many products imported into Saudi Arabia. Classification and certificates should be addressed before cargo moves.

What SABER covers

Requirements vary by HS code and product category. Regulated goods may require a Product Certificate of Conformity, a Shipment Certificate of Conformity, test reports or additional approvals.

Typical workflow

  1. Confirm the HS code and product classification.
  2. Identify the Saudi technical regulation.
  3. Prepare manufacturer and test documentation.
  4. Obtain required product certification.
  5. Issue the shipment certificate.
  6. Check that all shipping documents match.
