For Unregistered/Unlicensed products. Often the choice of infrequent exporters. Your shipment will require pre-supply inspection and pre-supply testing to demonstrate it meets certain standards. If successful you’ll be issued with a Certificate of Conformity, granting you clearance through customs.
For Registered Products. The preferred route for businesses that regularly export to Saudi Arabia. Consignment Inspection is still performed on all shipments, but product testing is reduced and only carried out on shipments chosen at random. Note though, to take advantage of this more efficient route you will first need to register your products.
For Licensed Products. If your exports into Saudi Arabia are consistent and frequent then it’s often sensible to become registered as a licensed product. This route means that pre-supply inspection and pre-supply testing is reduced, and only performed on shipments at random intervals. Note though, you’ll need to be able to demonstrate compliance of your products with standards (Saudi Arabian or applicable International standards) and prove that the manufacturer operates an approved Quality Assurance system e.g. ISO 9001.
