FAQ

About the SABER checker

What is SABER?

SABER is the Saudi online platform for product conformity. Many regulated products need a product certificate (PCoC) and a shipment certificate (SCoC) to clear customs.

Which products need SABER?

Electrical goods, machinery, building materials, toys, tyres, textiles and many consumer products. Food, cosmetics and medicines are regulated by SFDA instead.

Can ShipVerge arrange the certificates?

Yes. We coordinate with approved certification bodies and your supplier so certificates are ready before the cargo arrives.
