Used farm tractors from the USA · Saudi Arabia
A used US tractor clears Saudi customs when the SABER paperwork is ready before it lands: a product certificate and a shipment certificate of conformity, both issued electronically ahead of clearance. We import tractors to Saudi Arabia; we don't sell them and hold no stock. Our difference: we inspect the actual machine at origin before you pay, coordinate the conformity step there too, and clear it at Jeddah or Dammam instead of dropping it at the port.
Meridian owns sourcing, origin inspection, SABER coordination, export documents and freight. Your licensed Saudi broker owns the ZATCA entry: classification, duty, VAT and admissibility.
Process
Every shipment runs in the same order: confirm the tractor, inspect it, certify it, move it. The SABER certificates are in place before the vessel arrives, so the entry doesn't stall at the port.
A listing link or the make, model, year, hours and US location. If you only know the horsepower class and implements you need, we search the dealer and auction network for candidates.
We put eyes on the machine: condition, hours, completeness and whether the implements match the listing. We also have it cleaned of soil and plant debris before loading.
The SASO conformity step runs at origin: product and shipment certificates issued electronically through SABER before arrival. We book the sailing to Jeddah or Dammam — whichever port serves your destination — in a container or on a flat rack.
A licensed Saudi broker files the ZATCA entry and takes the tractor through clearance. Handover happens after customs, not before it.
Scope
We separate the international leg we control from the local costs and formalities your customs broker confirms.

These details let us shortlist, inspect and price the Saudi leg around a real machine instead of a guess.
Share the machine and the destination; we send back the scope of the international leg in writing.
Local compliance
The US side is ours; the Saudi figures are not. A licensed Saudi customs broker confirms the exact tariff line and admissibility for your specific tractor against the current ZATCA tariff before you commit funds. Most machinery enters at around 5% duty under the GCC common tariff, with 15% VAT assessed on the landed value — verified per HS line, never assumed. There is no blanket ban on used machinery imports into Saudi Arabia; admissibility is confirmed per HS line too. Every shipment also needs SASO conformity: a product certificate and a shipment certificate issued electronically through SABER before clearance.
Meridian has coordinated more than 1,000 exports to more than 40 countries.
