FAQ — Products exported to Saudi Arabia (SABER)
1. What is the difference between PCoC and SCoC?
They are different stages/documents in the Saudi conformity flow. Your product category and regulation determine which certificates/shipments steps apply — Certko maps this per SKU.
2. Can I reuse a CE report for SABER?
Sometimes evidence helps, but Saudi regulations may demand specific standards or accepted lab pathways. Never assume CE alone is enough.
3. Who creates the SABER account — brand or factory?
Usually the entity responsible for placing goods on the Saudi market / exporter setup. We help you pick a structure that matches your Incoterms and buyer.
4. How long does SABER take?
Depends on regulation, lab evidence completeness and query loops. Incomplete model data is the #1 delay.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
