Step 1: Register on SABER

The importer (or authorised exporter) must create an account on the SABER platform. Each product must be entered with:

• HS Code
• Product category (regulated or unregulated)
• Technical documents and specifications

Step 2: Select a Certification Body

From the SABER dashboard, select a SASO-accredited CAB such as:

• BTH
• Tabseer

Step 3: Product Evaluation

The CAB reviews the documents and may request:

• Lab test reports (ISO/IEC compliant)
• Factory audits
• Product photos or markings
• Quality system certifications (ISO 9001)

Step 4: Get the PCoC

Once approved, the CAB issues a Product Certificate valid for 1 year. It is electronically linked to your SABER profile.

Step 5: Apply for Shipment Certificate (SCoC)

Before each shipment, log in and request a Shipment CoC using the already-issued PCoC. Upload:

• Commercial invoice
• Packing list
• Shipping documents

Step 6: Customs Clearance

Saudi Customs validates your SCoC via the FASAH system. If all checks pass, clearance is granted instantly.
