Saudi Arabia Shipping FAQ

Answers to common questions regarding SABER certificates, Saudi import VAT, customs duties, and Amazon KSA fulfillment.

SABER is an electronic conformity assessment platform mandated by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO). Importers operating under FOB/CIF terms must issue Product Certificates (PCoC) and Shipment Certificates (SCoC) on SABER prior to customs clearance. Under our DDP Shipping Service, CINA LOGISTICS manages SABER compliance and certification requirements on your behalf.
Saudi Arabia applies customs duties ranging from 5% to 20% depending on the HS Code and commodity classification, based on the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight). A standard 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied by ZATCA on the total sum of (CIF Value + Customs Duty). Under our DDP service, both the customs duty and the 15% VAT are fully prepaid and included in your single all-in price per KG or CBM.
Yes! We ship directly to Amazon.sa fulfillment centers (RUH1, RUH2 in Riyadh, JED1 in Jeddah) and Noon fulfillment hubs across Saudi Arabia. We handle FNSKU barcode labeling, dual-language Arabic/English carton markings where required, palletizing to Amazon specs, and Carrier Central dock appointment booking.
Yes. Saudi Customs strictly enforces that every single item and external carton must bear an indelible ‘Made in China’ marking (engraved, printed, or non-removable sticker). Consumer goods, electricals, and food contact items also require Arabic labeling and user instructions. CINA LOGISTICS verifies all packaging compliance before container loading.
