  • Applicable duties and taxes on the imported goods are assessed using the classification of goods ,the value of the shipment and country of origin.

Our team can help you verify compliance prior to shipping from the USA.

Customs Clearance of Canadian car parts to Saudi Arabia

All consignments shipped to Saudi Arabia require full shipper and consignee details (including phone number and email). Customs in Saudi Arabia allows for easier clearance for goods imported for consumers or "B to C" (business to consumer). Goods imported under B to C processes must be purchased by an individual for the personal use and under US$266 (see below). Goods imported by businesses and for resale ("B to B" or business to business) are considered commercial imports and subject to higher level approvals and processes.

For commercial shipments, an accurate invoice and a copy of the commercial registration are required prior to delivery. We recommend Canadian shippers verify all the necessary information with the receiver prior to shipping the parcel.

The value added tax to Saudi Arabia is 15%. The minimum duty rate for goods above the duty free threshold (US$266 mentioned above) is 5%.

Here are other items to consider when sending parcels to Saudi Arabia:

  • "Country of Origin" rules must be considered and included on the item itself and on the commercial invoice.
  • Importers in Saudi Arabia are required to have a Commercial Registration number and conform to the business of the importer.
  • Import licenses: Many products require an import license before they can be brought into Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) is responsible for issuing import licenses.
  • A payment method for imported goods must be provided by the importer for payment of customs fee (which must include a reference number).
