SABER Certification for Indian Exporters
SABER is Saudi Arabia's mandatory conformity platform, so the certificate always relates to the Saudi market — but a large share of the goods entering the Kingdom originate in India. If you manufacture or export from India to Saudi Arabia, your products must be registered on SABER and hold a valid certificate before they can be cleared at the Saudi port of entry.
We are based in Andheri, Mumbai, and work with exporters across India — from Gujarat and Maharashtra to Delhi NCR, Tamil Nadu and beyond — to obtain SABER certificates efficiently. Because we sit on the India side of the trade, we coordinate directly with your team, your manufacturer and your Saudi importer, keeping the application, testing and documents aligned throughout.
Why Indian Exporters Need a SABER Certificate
Saudi customs will not release a consignment that lacks a valid Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC), and for regulated products that SCoC can only be issued when a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) is already registered in SABER. For an Indian exporter, that means the certificate is not optional paperwork — it is the difference between a shipment clearing smoothly and one being held, delayed or returned at destination.
The requirement applies regardless of where your goods are made; what matters is that they are entering Saudi Arabia. Getting the certification right before the goods leave India protects your delivery timelines and your relationship with your Saudi buyer.
How We Help — Your SABER Consultant in India
We handle the SABER certificate end to end so your team can focus on production and logistics:
- Identify whether your product is regulated and which SASO Technical Regulation applies, from the product and HS code.
- Review your existing test reports and confirm what is accepted — or coordinate testing at an accredited laboratory where gaps exist.
- Compile and check the required documents to Saudi standards before submission.
- Register the product and manage the PCoC application with the Conformity Assessment Body.
- Process the per-shipment SCoC and guide your Saudi importer through the SADAD payment.
PCoC & SCoC for Export from India to Saudi Arabia
The two certificates work together. The PCoC certifies your product model and is valid for up to 12 months, covering every shipment of that model. The SCoC is issued for each individual consignment leaving India and links that shipment to the certified product. For non-regulated products, only the SCoC is required. We determine the correct route for your goods at assessment and manage both certificates from India.
Documents & Testing from India
Most Indian exporters already hold part of what SABER needs — a commercial invoice, packing list, and often test reports from an Indian laboratory. The key question is whether those test reports meet the standards named in the applicable Saudi Technical Regulation and come from an appropriately accredited lab. We review what you have, tell you precisely what is reusable, and arrange any additional testing so you do not pay for tests you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indian exporters need a SABER certificate?
Yes. Any product entering Saudi Arabia — including goods manufactured in or exported from India — must be registered on SABER and hold a valid certificate before it can clear Saudi customs. Regulated products need a PCoC and a per-shipment SCoC; non-regulated products need an SCoC.
Can I get a SABER certificate from India?
Yes. The application is managed on the SABER platform and can be handled entirely from India. As a Mumbai-based consultant, we coordinate the process with your team, your manufacturer and your Saudi importer without you needing to be in Saudi Arabia.
Will my Indian test reports be accepted?
Sometimes — it depends on whether the reports cover the standards required by the applicable Saudi Technical Regulation and come from an accredited laboratory. We review your existing reports and identify exactly what can be reused and what, if anything, needs additional testing.
Do I need a Saudi importer to get certified?
Yes. The certificate is registered under the Saudi importer's SABER account and the SADAD fee is paid by the importer. We coordinate between the Indian exporter, the manufacturer and the Saudi importer so everything stays aligned.
