Shipping goods to Saudi Arabia can be an excellent business opportunity for your company: the Saudi Arabian market, next to that of the United Arab Emirates, is extremely important in the Middle East, especially if your target sector is aimed at a high-spending public looking for quality products. At the same time, the import of finished goods and raw materials from Saudi Arabia can also be seen as a strategic operation.
What one has to pay attention to when planning import-export activities to and from Saudi Arabia are definitely the bureaucratic requirements of international shipping. There are, in fact, several steps to follow in order to correctly plan the transport of goods, as well as the number of documents to be produced.
In such a context, relying on an experienced partner who can accurately follow every stage of the shipment (and/or importation) of goods to Saudi Arabia is crucial.
With our many years of experience in the field of international shipping, with a particular focus on the eastern and middle-eastern area of the globe, we at Global Shipping aim to be your partner to assist your company in planning and carrying out freight forwarding activities to and from Saudi Arabia.
Shipping goods to Saudi Arabia means fulfilling a number of obligations from a bureaucratic point of view, concerning both the certification of the origin of the goods to be brought into the country and the production of certain documents necessary for the shipment of the goods themselves.
With regard to the entry of international goods into Saudi Arabia, it must be kept in mind that each shipment requires a specific product certificate of conformity (PCoC)and a shipment certificate of conformity (SCoC), documents that must be registered on the country’s SABER platform.
Also with regard to the import of goods from Saudi Arabia to Italy and to EU countries in general, a series of bureaucratic formalities are naturally required to ensure that shipments go smoothly.
To import by sea, a bill of lading is required. An invoice and packing list are required for import and export customs operations; the customs bill is issued by the customs declarant on the basis of the data on the invoice.
