What is Saber electronic platform?
Enforced on January 1, 2019, SABER is a comprehensive system introduced by SASO and has replaced the old system for issuing SASO Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for goods exported to Saudi Arabia. SABER platform aims at facilitating and accelerating procedures for the entrance of goods into the Saudi market in coordination with the Saudi Customs.
To reducing the period of clearing shipments at Saudi entry points and ensure correct documentation, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and Saudi Customs have recently
announced the integration of the FASAH (clearance, the Saudi shipment clearance portal) system and SABER platform. As per July 1st, 2020, the integration of both platforms enables beneficiaries automatically verifying the consignment conformity certificate when obtaining the customs declaration. Since 1st July, there will be no need for companies to print the SCoC as it will automatically be in the FASAH system. Any shipment to Saudi Arabia that does not have a SCoC will be refused at destination and re-exported at the cost of the importer (who may charges the cost to the exporter/manufacturer).
