Frequently asked questions
Is the guide up to date?
Yes — current as of June 2026, including the January 2025 pre-arrival certificate rule and the October 2025 shipment-certificate requirement. Every fact was verified against official sources only; anything that couldn't be verified was left out.
Do you issue SABER certificates?
No. We're an independent reference, not a certification body. Certificates are issued by SASO-approved Certification Bodies through the SABER platform — the guide explains the process and helps you avoid the expensive mistakes.
Is the Arabic version a translation?
It's a full فصحى version prepared from the same verified source — both languages carry the same facts and structure.
Can I share the guide with my supplier?
Yes — that's exactly why it's bilingual. Your team in Saudi Arabia and your supplier abroad can work from the same document, each in their own language.
