SABER is Saudi Arabia's online platform for product conformity certification. Many equipment categories require a SABER certificate and a shipment-specific certificate of conformity before clearing Jeddah port customs. We handle the full process.

Do invoices need to be legalized for Saudi imports?

Yes. Commercial invoices and packing lists for Saudi Arabia must be legalized through the Saudi Embassy or via the Fasah electronic system. We prepare all documentation in the required format for smooth customs clearance.
