CUSTOM CLEARENCE REQUIREMENTS

SABER certification is mandatory for a wide range of regulated and non-regulated products entering Saudi Arabia. While the specific categories can vary, it generally includes consumer goods such as electronics, textiles, building materials, paints, vehicles spare parts, and more. Even non-regulated products require registration on the SABER platform and a Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDOC). Glaube Logistics can help you determine the exact requirements for your specific products.

SABER digitizes and centralizes the conformity assessment process, replacing traditional paper-based methods. This leads to:

• Faster Clearance: Reduces the time needed for import approvals and customs clearance.
• Enhanced Transparency: Provides real-time updates on shipment statuses and certification approvals.
• Reduced Paperwork: All certification processes are done online, minimizing physical documentation.
• Integration with Customs (FASAH): SABER is linked with the Saudi customs system (FASAH), allowing for automatic verification of SCoC, which further speeds up clearance.

Failing to comply with SABER regulations can lead to serious consequences, including:

• Shipment delays and prolonged customs holds.
• Significant fines and penalties.
• Confiscation or rejection of goods at the port.
• Reputational damage and loss of market access.
• Increased operational costs due to storage fees and re-exportation.
