How importing into Saudi works
Sea freight routes to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, generally 20–28 days port to port.
SASO and SABER conformity applies to most consumer and industrial goods. We arrange the certificate of conformity with the manufacturer before shipping, not after the container has sailed.
Duty is commonly 5–15% depending on the tariff line, with 15% VAT at clearance. We confirm the line on your specific goods rather than quoting an average.
For larger contracts we can route via Jebel Ali and move overland into the Kingdom where that is faster than a direct call.
