Frequently asked questions
Do medical devices need approval to import into Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Most medical and dental devices need SFDA Medical Device Marketing Authorization (MDMA) before import. We check the status before booking so the shipment is not held at customs.
Can you ship temperature-sensitive medical products?
We book temperature-controlled air cargo and reefer services with data loggers where needed, and plan clearance so cold-chain items are released quickly.
How quickly can urgent dental equipment arrive?
International express from Korea, Europe or the USA typically arrives in 3–5 working days door to door, including clearance, when documents and approvals are ready.
