MandatoryCertification
Construction metals: Saudi Quality Mark or Type 3 certificate
Certification: SABER product conformity (SASO)
SASO's Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 1 (metal and alloy sections for construction and buildings; version 2, amendment published 14 January 2022) applies to metals and alloys designed for construction works and lists these headings. Suppliers of reinforcing steel bars (rebar) and steel plates must hold the Saudi Quality Mark or its equivalent; other products need a certificate of conformity from a SASO-accepted body under model Type 3 (type approval plus quality assurance of production). SABER's code list shows per 12-digit line which is accepted (for heading 7214, read on 28 October 2026, most lines accept either). The product needs a technical file with the supplier's declaration of conformity on the regulation's form and a risk assessment; the factory needs an effective environmental management system (ISO 14001 certification meets it); SI units are required. A heading listed in more than one SASO regulation is assigned per 12-digit line in SABER.
Saudi customs (ZATCA) has applied the GCC integrated customs tariff at the 12-digit level since 1 January 2025 and publishes amendments to it: for example Ministerial Resolution 1447-88-5 (5/5/1447 H) created, deleted and amended lines, with new lines for sweetened beverages applied from 1 January 2026. Your Saudi importer declares the 12-digit code in Fasah and registers the product in SABER by its HS code. Agree the right 12-digit Saudi line with your importer or customs broker.
Product Safety Law: duties of the manufacturer and importer
The Product Safety Law (Royal Decree M/36 of 29/1/1446 H, 4 August 2024) and its implementing regulations (SASO Board, 15 November 2024) oblige manufacturers, authorised representatives and importers to place only safe products that meet the technical regulations, to assess risks, to give consumers information on hazards that are not obvious, to put their name and contact details on the product, to provide evidence of safety on request, and to keep traceability. Where no technical regulation applies, a product should conform to the relevant Saudi, regional or international standards. Summary of SASO's guidance manual (not binding) and of SASO's circular to SABER users citing article 11 of the Law and article 19 of its regulations.
For every shipment: SABER shipment certificate and customs documents
For every shipment your Saudi importer issues a shipment certificate (SCoC) in SABER, after the product has a registered certificate of conformity (regulated products) or a self-declaration (other products), when the goods are ready and invoiced and before shipping; since 1 October 2025 it must be issued before the customs declaration. It needs the invoice data (date, number, total, currency, supplier) and, per model, the quantity, unit price and barcode. SABER's fee is 350 SAR without VAT; SABER's service card states 90 days' validity and 1-2 working days (estimate). Only businesses with a Saudi commercial registration use SABER's commercial track, and a certificate cannot be used by more than one importer. The importer also files the customs declaration in Fasah at least 48 hours before arrival, with the commercial invoice, the bill of lading and a certificate of origin (not needed when the origin is clearly established).
Commercial data in Arabic on each unit (Commercial Data Law)
The Commercial Data Law requires commercial data to be at least in Arabic and true. Its implementing regulations oblige the producer or importer to write the mandatory data on each unit, on the unit's package and on any container holding more than one unit, in a way that is hard to remove: number, quantity, size, measure, capacity, weight, price, and production and expiry dates; the place or country of manufacture or production; the components; and the name of the product or its manufacturer. For goods related to human, animal or environmental health, the components statement must also say whether the product is genetically modified, contains hazardous substances and how hazardous, or is irradiated. Other languages may be added; the Arabic text prevails. Importing or selling products without the mandatory data is prohibited. Technical regulations add product-specific label rules.
Construction metals: label in Arabic, or Arabic and English
Labels on the product package must meet the regulation and the standards in its annex, contain only correct and verified information, and be written in Arabic or in Arabic and English.
Cement, lime, gypsum and related products: Quality Mark or Type 3
Certification: SABER product conformity (SASO)
SASO's Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 3 (hydraulic binders and related products; version 1, amendment 2 published 14 January 2022) lists these headings. Suppliers of cement and ready-mix concrete must hold the Saudi Quality Mark or its equivalent; other products need a certificate of conformity under model Type 3. SABER's code list (heading 2523 read on 28 October 2026) accepts the Quality Mark or a certificate for several cement lines and only the Quality Mark for others. The technical file holds the supplier's declaration of conformity, a risk assessment and the country of origin. Packaging must be free of lead and heavy metals; plastic packaging carries the degradable-plastic mark (if covered by that regulation) or the recycling symbol. The factory needs an effective environmental management system (ISO 14001 certification meets it).

SASO's circular to SABER users requires the supplier's (importer's or local manufacturer's) name and commercial registration number on products under this regulation from 1 October 2026, checked through SABER data, with the Product Safety Law's penalties for those who do not comply.
