Mastering Saudi Customs in 2026
Saudi Arabia’s customs environment has transformed with full digitalization (Fasah platform), mandatory SABER Shipment Certificates (SCoC), ZATCA e-invoicing, and expanded bonded zones. LiTCO Logistics provides expert customs brokerage services that ensure rapid clearance, minimize storage costs, and maintain 100% compliance — helping your cargo move from port to destination without delays.
We manage every stage of the customs process — from pre-arrival declarations to final release — using direct electronic links with ZATCA systems.
- ◆Import & Export Declarations: Electronic filing of SAD (Single Administrative Document) and all supporting documentation via Fasah.
- ◆HS Code Classification & Valuation: Accurate classification to secure correct duty rates, VAT (15%), and avoid penalties.
- ◆SABER Platform Management: Registration, Product Certificates of Conformity (PCoC), and Shipment Certificates (SCoC) for regulated and non-regulated goods.
- ◆Bonded Warehouse & Duty Suspension: Utilization of bonded zones and Integrated Logistics Bonded Zones (ILBZ) to defer duties and VAT until market entry.
- ◆Duty & Tax Calculation & Payment: Transparent landed cost modeling, advance payments, and refund facilitation for re-exports.
- ◆FTA & Preferential Tariff Utilization: Leveraging free trade agreements to reduce or eliminate duties on eligible origins.
