Middle East & Africa · Country-wise certifications
Saudi clearance for regulated goods runs through SABER — Product and Shipment Certificates of Conformity — often alongside CST radio approval.
Four GMA pillars for this market, plus local representation — verify against the live regulator list before quoting.
SABER issues Product CoCs and shipment-level CoCs before customs release. CST (ex-CITC) handles type approval for telecom/radio. SASO energy efficiency labels apply to covered products. GMARK may still be needed in parallel for some categories.
