SABER Services
SASO conformity paperwork handled alongside your shipment booking.
Many products entering Saudi Arabia require certification through SABER, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organisation's (SASO) conformity platform, before they can clear customs.
We support the registration, Product Certificate (PC) and Shipment Certificate (SC) process, so cargo subject to SABER requirements is compliant before it reaches port — timed to the sailing and clearance schedule rather than arranged at the last minute.
What's included
- Product and shipment certificate coordination
- Compliance checks against SASO technical regulations
- Documentation support for registered importers

Common questions
What is SABER?
Saudi Arabia's conformity platform, run by SASO, through which many imported products must be certified before customs clearance.
What is the difference between a PC and an SC?
A Product Certificate (PC) covers the product. A Shipment Certificate (SC) is issued for each shipment of that product.
When should I start?
Before the goods ship, so certificates are ready when the cargo reaches port.
Can you also clear the shipment?
Yes. See customs clearance.
