Used farm tractors from the USA · Saudi Arabia
Import Farm Tractors from the USA to 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 export 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 and coordinate the conformity step there too, so it sails with the paperwork done.
- US-wide sourcing across dealers and auctions, matched to horsepower and implements
- Origin inspection of the specific tractor before any money moves
- SASO conformity coordinated at origin — product and shipment certificates via SABER
- Ocean freight to Jeddah or Dammam, with documents ready for your licensed Saudi broker
- English and Arabic WhatsApp support from quote to arrival
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
How we handle the shipment
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.
Send us the tractor
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 inspect at origin
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.
SABER conformity and freight
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.
Your broker clears it in Saudi Arabia
Your licensed Saudi broker files the ZATCA entry and takes the tractor through clearance, working from the export documents and SABER certificates prepared at origin.
Scope
What the quote covers and what it doesn't
We separate the international leg we control from the local costs and formalities your customs broker confirms.
Quote
What we need to prepare a useful quote
These details let us shortlist, inspect and price the Saudi leg around a real machine instead of a guess.
- Listing link, or make, model and year of the tractor
- Engine hours and condition, if known
- Preferred US region or budget, if you don't have a specific unit yet
- Destination in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or other) and target timing
- Whether you already have a Saudi customs broker
- Intended use (farm operation, contracting, resale) so we can advise honestly

Share the machine and the destination; we send back the scope of the international leg in writing.
Local compliance
Duty, VAT and SABER: the Saudi broker's lane
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.
Since 2013, Meridian has completed about 1,000 export projects.
