SASO's Technical Regulation for Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing, with certificates on SABER; we confirm each item by HS code before shipping.

For PPE, it comes on top of the product certificate under SASO's PPE and clothing regulation, whose labelling article sets the label content.
QWhen is the customs declaration filed?
Safe Hands, a licensed customs broker, files the FASAH declaration at least 48 hours before arrival, so cargo is released on discharge rather than waiting on documents. For PPE, each item's SABER certificate is confirmed by HS code before shipping.
QWhich Saudi gateway will my cargo use?
Sea freight clears at Jeddah Islamic Port (west) or King Abdulaziz Port, Dammam (east); air freight at King Khalid (Riyadh), King Abdulaziz (Jeddah) or King Fahd (Dammam) airports; trucks from the UAE at Al Batha and from Jordan at Al Haditha. PPE is then palletised in Riyadh and released to your sites on a fixed schedule.
