In Saudi Arabia, all imported products must comply with strict quality and safety standards before entering the market. The SASO Certificate of Conformity (CoC)—issued through the Saber Platform—is a mandatory requirement that confirms goods meet the national standards.
There are two main certificates you must secure for regulated products:
Confirms a specific product meets SASO technical regulations.
Validity: 1 Year (issued once per product model).
Ensures that the specific imported batch matches the approved specifications.
Validity: Required for every individual shipment.
Every product is classified based on its Customs Tariff (HS Code). This maps the product in SABER to determine if it is regulated:
| Category | Conformity Requirements | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Regulated Products | PCoC + SCoC + Lab Testing + SABER Registration | Electronics, Toys, Auto Parts, Cosmetics |
| Non-Regulated | Self-Declaration of Conformity (Basic Safety) | General unlisted commercial goods |
Don't let missing documents or wrong classifications delay your cargo. Let our experts handle the coordination.
