The biggest fear is that the goods may get stuck in the certification process when they arrive at Jeddah or Dammam ports - SABER certification not being done, resulting in the entire container being directly locked by the customs system, textile labels not in Arabic being required to be returned for rectification, brand authorization letters not notarized and certified as counterfeit products being directly seized and destroyed... We have seen too many such bad things.

1、 Shenzhen to Saudi Arabia - Asian brand bags, jerseys, sea freight prices, time frame

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East, with an annual clothing and textile market size exceeding $5 billion. Over 90% of Saudi Arabia's clothing and textile products come from China.

We specialize in container loading in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, providing flexible shipping options for FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou or Dongguan Port, to Jeddah Islamic Port in Saudi Arabia, the direct flight takes about 20-25 days; Arrive at King Abdulaziz Port in approximately 22-28 days. The full container load chain takes about 30-45 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 35-50 days. During the peak season (June September), cabin availability is tight. It is recommended to book 3-4 weeks in advance.

1. The price is negotiable and all inclusive: sea freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Saudi import customs clearance+customs duties+15% value-added tax+final delivery, with no hidden fees.

2. Key points of Saudi tariffs and taxes:

As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Saudi Arabia implements the GCC Common External Tariff System. Import tariffs: The tariffs on the vast majority of clothing, shoes, hats, and textile products are levied at 5% of the CIF dutiable value (value of goods+freight+insurance). The HS code for clothing is mainly classified in chapters 61-62, and the tariff rate is generally between 5% and 12%. Value added tax (VAT): The standard tax rate is 15%, calculated by multiplying (CIF price+customs duty) by 15%. The comprehensive tax and fee for importing clothing and textiles from China to Saudi Arabia is about 20%. SABER certification fees: The PC certificate platform fee is approximately 575 Saudi riyals, and the SC certificate platform fee is approximately 402.5 Saudi riyals per batch. It is recommended that exporters include all taxes and fees in the quoted cost in advance.

2、 Shenzhen to Saudi Arabia: Shipping customs clearance documents and process for sub brand bags and jerseys: "Five Passes" for brand bags and jerseys

First level: SABER certification - the "passport" for Saudi customs clearance

SABER is an online certification system launched by the Saudi Bureau of Standards (SASO). Saudi Arabia has achieved data exchange between the FASAH system and SABER system, and all imported goods must hold a valid SC certificate to clear customs. SABER certification is divided into two stages and requires the application of two types of certificates:

-PCoC (Product Conformity Certificate): Each product (or product series) is issued once, after review of documents and test reports by a conformity assessment agency, to prove that the product itself complies with Saudi standards, and is usually valid for one year.

-SCoC (Certificate of Conformity for Shipment): issued for each individual batch of goods, referencing PCoC, is a certificate of customs inspection. For each shipment, even if the goods are the same as last time, an SCoC must be created on SABER with a validity period of 60 days.

Brand bags and jerseys belong to the PC1 certification mode, covering categories such as textiles, bags, shoes, and clothing. The authentication process is as follows: obtain the 10 digit Chinese customs code, extract the top 6 digits, log in to the SABER official website, use the HS Code query tool to match and generate a 12 digit Saudi Arabia HS code, and confirm the applicable authentication type. PCoC and SCoC must be applied for before shipment, and certificates applied for after arrival at the port will be considered invalid. It should be noted that there will be new changes in SABER in 2026: the new HS code list requires importers to attach a declaration approved by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources when applying for SCoC.

Second level: Customs clearance documents and embassy authentication - zero fault tolerance for document consistency (due to frequent detention reasons)

During customs clearance, it is necessary to submit: certificate of origin, commercial invoice, invoice authentication, packing list, bill of lading, and SC certificate. Saudi customs will strictly compare the consistency of information between various documents and verify whether the goods' names, specifications, labels, marks, parameters, manufacturer information, HS codes, and countries of origin are truly consistent. Any inconsistency may result in customs clearance failure.

There are two documents that require embassy authentication for exporting to Saudi Arabia: commercial invoice and certificate of origin. The HS code, product name, and shipping information on the certificate of origin must be completely consistent with the commercial invoice. In 2026, Saudi customs will tighten their scrutiny on the authenticity of certificates of origin, especially for goods that have been exported through transit trade, where the certificate of origin must prove that the goods were indeed produced in China.

Third level: Textile label compliance - mandatory Arabic labeling (easily overlooked)

The Saudi Bureau of Standards (SASO) explicitly states that all imported clothing must indicate fiber composition on the product itself or durability label, and must be in Arabic. The country of origin labeling is also a mandatory requirement, and clothing and washing labels must clearly indicate "Made in China" or country of origin information, which cannot be vague or omitted.

Textile labels must indicate the following core information in Arabic or bilingual Arabic English:

-Fiber composition and percentage of content

-Country of Origin ("Made in China", cannot be abbreviated)

-Washing instructions

-Size

-Manufacturer/Importer Name

Level 4: Brand Authorization Letter - The "lifeline" of brand products (upgraded to new regulations in 2026)

Saudi Arabia will launch the Tahaqaqaq trademark filing platform in 2026, officially shifting towards a highly standardized customs filing framework and directly strengthening trademark rights protection at ports of entry. The system strictly adheres to the principle of "no registration, no warning" - brand owners who fail to electronically register their trademarks and categories on the Tahaqaqaq platform will no longer receive automatic notifications or customs warnings.

Joining the Tahaqaqaq platform must be executed through authorized representatives under the service management agency, and it is strictly required to submit a copy of the trademark registration certificate, as well as a power of attorney that has been officially notarized, certified, or Hague certified. Saudi Customs has recently tightened its inspection of intellectual property rights, especially for well-known brands. Brand bags and brand jerseys must provide a complete brand authorization letter, which must be notarized and certified to ensure that they are completely consistent with the product name and trademark on the customs declaration form, otherwise they are prone to seizure.

Fifth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port (our Saudi cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):

1. SABER certification application (before shipment): Complete the PCoC and SCoC applications to ensure that the certificate information is consistent with the customs declaration

2. Embassy authentication processing (before shipment): Commercial invoices and certificates of origin have been certified by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and signed by the Saudi Embassy in China

3. Pre review of documents (during transportation of goods): Submit the complete set of customs clearance documents to the agent for early review to ensure consistency of document information

4. Customs system declaration (upon arrival at the port): Submit the declaration through the FASAH system, and the SC certificate will be automatically transferred from SABER to FASAH, and the system will automatically verify compliance

5. Customs valuation and inspection: The inspection rate of textiles by Saudi customs is about 25%, and the normal process takes 3-5 days. If there are problems with the documents or the labels are not compliant, it may be extended to one week or even longer

6. Tax payment release: payment of customs duties on behalf of others+15% value-added tax, compliant release

7. End delivery: Delivery throughout Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam

Level 6: List of Essential Customs Clearance Documents:

-Original bill of lading/electronic bill of lading

-Commercial invoice (must be authenticated by the Saudi Embassy in China, including complete HS code, product name, quantity, unit price, total price, country of origin, and importer VAT number)

-Packing list (listing the gross weight, net weight, dimensions, and packing details of each box)

-Certificate of Origin (must be authenticated by the Saudi Embassy in China, and the HS code, product name, and shipping information must be completely consistent with the invoice)

-SABER Certificate (PCoC+SCOC)

-Brand Authorization Letter (Essential for Brand Products, Must be Notarized or Hague Certified)

-Copy of Importer Business License (CR)

-Wooden packaging fumigation certificate (if applicable)

3、 Six compliance red lines for shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Saudi Arabia

1. Lack of SABER certification - unable to reapply upon arrival at the port (top priority)

All goods exported to Saudi Arabia must complete SABER certification application before shipment, and the certificate applied for after arrival at the port will be considered invalid. The FASAH system and SABER system of Saudi Customs have been interconnected, and goods without valid SC certificates will be automatically locked by the system and cannot be cleared.

2. Commercial invoices and certificates of origin must be authenticated by the embassy - both are indispensable

Commercial invoices and certificates of origin must be certified by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and signed by the Saudi Embassy in China, which is a mandatory requirement for customs clearance in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not joined the Hague Convention, and embassy authentication cannot be replaced by other forms.

3. Textile labels must be in Arabic - information is indispensable

All imported clothing must indicate fiber composition, country of origin, washing instructions, and size in Arabic on the product itself or durability label. The origin label "Made in China" cannot be vague or abbreviated. Warning signs, user manuals, safety information, etc. on the packaging must be in Arabic.

4. Brand authorization letter must be notarized and certified - Tahaqaqaq platform upgrade in 2026

Brand bags and brand jerseys must provide a power of attorney that has been officially notarized, certified, or Hague certified. Saudi Customs is tightening its inspection of intellectual property rights, and brands that have not been registered on the Tahaqaqaq platform will not be able to receive border protection warnings. Once seized, the handling process will become more complex.

5. HS code - must use the Saudi local 12 digit version

After obtaining 10 domestic customs codes, extract the top 6 digits and match them using the SABER official website query tool to generate a 12 digit Saudi HS code. In 2026, the SABER system updated the HS code list, and some old codes were deleted, replaced, or further refined. Continuing to use the old codes will result in certification failure.

6. Value declaration - It is strictly prohibited to underreport, and the pricing system is strict

Saudi Customs estimates the value of goods based on internal databases, and if the declared price is lower than the average price recorded in the system, it will be required to explain or even directly taxed according to the system estimate. It is recommended to truthfully declare the value of the goods and keep the transaction vouchers for future reference.

4、 Shenzhen to Saudi Arabia sub brand bags and jerseys sea freight packaging requirements: triple protection, strict adherence to brand standards

Brand bags and jerseys are high-value goods that require long-distance shipping. The packaging must be strictly protected from damage and moisture.

1. Triple Protection Law:

|First layer: Inner packaging protection | The jersey is wrapped in a dust-proof bag and folded neatly; Put the bag into the brand dust bag and fill it with paper balls to maintain its shape. Brand tags and wash labels must be intact|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | The carton is filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam plastic, bubble film, pearl wool) to ensure that the goods are fixed in the carton without shaking|

|Third layer: Outer box reinforcement | Select five layer double anti corrugated cardboard boxes (brand new, sturdy, and undamaged). The "Gong" character is used to seal the box, and the tape width is ≥ 5cm|

2. Packaging material requirements: The packaging material should be suitable for the high temperature and dry climate in Saudi Arabia, and have moisture-proof, high temperature resistant, and UV resistant properties. Full container transportation usually requires palletizing. Bare or simple bundling is strictly prohibited. Prohibit the use of content that violates Islamic religious culture, such as portraits, sensitive symbols, and other patterns or texts.

3. Wooden packaging requirements: If wooden pallets or wooden boxes are used, they must comply with the ISPM 15 international standard - solid wood materials must undergo heat treatment (HT) or methyl bromide fumigation (MB), and be stamped with the IPPC logo (including country code, treatment enterprise number, and treatment method abbreviation). The identification must be clear and cannot be erased. Handwritten markings or temporary stickers are not counted. Saudi ports accept fumigation, but the surface of the boxes must have a clear IPPC seal. The fumigation/heat treatment certificate must be attached to the customs clearance documents, and the bill of lading and packing list should indicate the words' wooden packaging has been treated in accordance with ISPM 15 '. It is recommended to directly purchase non smoked wooden or plastic pallets with IPPC seal to avoid risks.

4. Special requirements for Saudi labels:

-Arabic labeling: Fiber composition, country of origin, washing instructions, and size must be labeled in Arabic or bilingual Arabic English

-Country of Origin Identification: It must be clearly labeled as "Made in China" and cannot be abbreviated

-Warning and instructions: Arabic must be used (both Arabic and English are acceptable, but not only English)

-Brand logo: The brand tag and wash label must be intact and consistent with the authorized brand document

-Moisture proof treatment: Saudi Arabia has a tropical desert climate, and there is a large temperature difference in sea freight containers. It is recommended to place desiccants inside the container to prevent moisture
