Door-to-Door Shipping From China To The World
Direct Answer Capsule: DDP shipping from China to the Middle East requires destination-country compliance certificates: for Saudi Arabia, goods must be registered under the SASO/SABER platform (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization / Saudi Product Safety Program) with a Product Conformity Certificate (PCOC) and Shipment Conformity Certificate (SCOC) issued by an approved certification body before the vessel arrives. For the UAE, most goods require a Conformity Certificate from an ESMA-approved body, with customs clearance through the Dubai Trade / SADAD portal at Jebel Ali, Mina Rashid, or Abu Dhabi ports.
| Certificate | Issued For | Validity | Issued By |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCOC (Product Conformity Certificate) | Each product / HS code | 1 year | SABER-approved certification body |
| SCOC (Shipment Conformity Certificate) | Each shipment | Per shipment | Issued via SABER platform before arrival |
| SABER Registration | Importer in Saudi Arabia | Annual | Saudi importer registers on SABER.saso.gov.sa |
Key rule: The Saudi importer must register the product on SABER and request a PCOC. The exporter (in China) must provide test reports and technical files to the certification body. The SCOC must be issued before the vessel arrives at the Saudi port; without it, customs will refuse clearance.
| Aspect | Saudi Arabia | UAE |
|---|---|---|
| Certification body | SABER-approved (SASO) | ESMA-approved |
| Per-shipment cert | SCOC (mandatory) | Conformity certificate (per category) |
| Customs portal | FASES / Saudi Customs | Dubai Trade / SADAD |
| Import duty | 5% (varies by HS code) | 5% on most goods |
| VAT | 15% | 5% |
