By Abdelrahman Ghaniem El Ali | November 26, 2024 | Customs Clearance
It is the process of facilitating the entry and exit of goods and shipments into the country by completing all required paperwork, documents, and customs procedures, and verifying that shipments comply with the required standards and laws of each country, thus facilitating the import and export process. This process is supervised by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, which is the entity responsible for all customs activities in Saudi Arabia.
When importing or exporting goods or shipments, certain documents and papers must be available that comply with the country's customs law. What documents are required for customs clearance procedures in Saudi Arabia?
1- Certificate of Origin: A certificate containing the country of manufacture.
2- Bill of Lading: It is a contract established between the supplier and the importer that includes details of the goods or shipment and its contents, and specifies the port of shipment or land ports at which the shipment will arrive.
3- Commercial invoice: It is an invoice that shows the number of goods or shipment and its price. The invoice must contain a tax stamp.
4- Technical report on the goods: to ensure their compliance with legal and health specifications if the shipment contains food or medicine.
5- Packing list: It is a document written manually or electronically and plays an important role in the customs clearance process because it contains comprehensive information about the shipment, such as the number of boxes, their weight, shipment details, shipment weight, and ensuring that it matches the numbers on the shipment.
Customs clearance plays a significant role in the economic growth of countries. Because Saudi Arabia represents a global trading hub for all goods and shipments, whether imported or exported by land, air, or sea, customs clearance plays a significant role in the growth of the Kingdom's national economy, thanks to the Kingdom's strategic location. This role is evident through:
Customs clearance helps attract foreign investment from all countries to the Saudi market, which leads to the availability of a variety of goods in the Saudi market. This helps develop trade and increase supply, thus creating a global market consisting of a variety of products from all countries, increasing sales activity and thriving the economy.
Customs clearance helps grow foreign trade by expanding import and export traffic between countries. Showcasing local products in foreign and global markets also strengthens ties between the country and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, leading to enhanced economic security among nations.
All imported products and goods are quality-assured and comply with Saudi law. This ensures high-quality products are available on the market, encouraging local industries to enhance the efficiency of their products in the Saudi domestic market, compete with imported products, and export these products and goods to foreign countries.
