Trade CoC

From 10th August 2009, the Saudi Arabia Customs Authorities made it mandatory to get Saudi Arabian Standard Organisation (SASO) certificate (referred to as "SASO Conformity Certificate) for importing goods to Saudi Arabia. The acronym SASO stands for ‘Saudi Arabian Standards Organization’.

A SASO COC (Certificate of Conformity) is a declaration of the conformity with the type approval of applicable SASO standard. The purpose of this document is to ensure the free movement of goods within Saudi Arabia. All products being exported to Saudi Arabia require a Certificate of Conformity also referred to as a SASO CoC to enable them to be cleared through Saudi Customs.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires that all consignments of products that are covered by a Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) Technical Regulation and that are to be exported to the country should be issued with a Product Certificate, and that every consignment should be accompanied by a Shipment Certificate. These certificates signify compliance with the applicable standards and technical regulations.

With the development of the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM), SASO has implemented SABER, an electronic conformity assessment platform. SASO encourages the Trade to use this platform to request and obtain both Product and Shipment Certificates for goods falling under SASO Technical Regulations, and to request and obtain a Self Declaration and a Shipment Certificate for goods not covered by any SASO Technical Regulation.

• Products not covered by a Technical Regulation can obtain a Consignment-Based Technical Assessment Certificate, to demonstrate compliance of the product with the SASO and/or International Standards

FORMS OF ATTESTATION:

A Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) issued within SABER system is a requirement before any Shipment Certificate can be issued to a regulated product intended to be shipped to Saudi Arabia.

India's major exports to Saudi Arab include basmati rice, textiles and garments and machinery. Saudi imports from India amounted to $7 billion or 2.7% of India's overall exports in the year 2015.

PURPOSE OF ATTESTATION (PCoC and SC):

All commercial processors of low-acid and acidified foods located in the United States and all processors in other countries who export low-acid canned food or acidified food products into the United States must register their processing plants with FDA. Also, manufacturers must file documentation with FDA for each process used in the production of foods subject to these requirements. These submissions are known as a “Process Filing” and each is assigned a unique “Submission Identifier” (SID). Wholesalers, importers, distributors, brokers, etc. are not required to register and file processes. However, they must ensure that processing firms they represent comply with all registration and process filing requirements.

FDA Food & Dietary Supplement Labeling Requirements

​The US FDA has provided guidance for food & dietary supplement labeling Requirements. The guidance represents the FDA's thinking on the requirement. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. You can contact Willow Glen Consultancy staff to discuss more detail for labeling requirement. You can also contact the FDA staff responsible for implementing this guidance.
