SASO Product Certification: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how importers can obtain the necessary product conformity certificates to move goods through customs in Saudi Arabia.
This certification process ensures that consumer goods meet the required safety and quality standards before they enter the country.
Who it's for
This scheme is for importers of regulated consumer goods. If you are bringing specific types of consumer products into Saudi Arabia, you must follow this process to ensure they meet national standards.
What you get
By completing this process, you receive product conformity certificates. These certificates are essential because they are required for customs entry, serving as the official proof needed to move your goods through the border.
What it costs you
You will need to pay certification fees to obtain these documents. The amount you pay depends on the specific product category you are certifying.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that if you are dropshipping products, you must ensure they are already certified. If a dropshipped product lacks the proper certification, it will be blocked at the border.
