The short answer

Imports into Saudi Arabia are registered in SASO's SABER platform, which issues a certificate for each shipment before customs clearance. VAT of 15% applies on import, and customs duty follows the Integrated Customs Tariff, which was amended in November 2025, so confirm the current rate for your goods with your broker.
