SABER is the mandatory gateway for registering imported products in Saudi Arabia. Here is the difference between a product certificate and a shipment certificate, the steps, indicative costs, and the mistakes that hold goods at port.
Read articleOur Guangzhou team physically visits the factory and verifies its business licence and production line before we connect you. You receive photos and video from inside the plant, and you can request a visit yourself or through one of our staff.
It varies by factory and product — some start at 50 units, others at 1,000. We find you a factory whose minimum fits your order size, and in many cases we can negotiate it down.
Sea freight typically takes 25–40 days port to port, air freight 5–10 days. Add factory production time and customs clearance. Every shipment shows its actual timeline inside the app.
Payment is currently by direct bank transfer, or deferred payment through Tamara. Payment happens inside Saudi Arabia and you receive a certified Saudi tax invoice — no transfers to unknown overseas accounts.
We inspect goods before shipping and send you a photo and video inspection report — nothing ships without your approval. Agreed specifications are documented in the in-app chat, which protects you in any dispute with the factory.
Under FOB, the factory price covers delivery onto the vessel only; you cover freight and insurance. Under CIF, the factory covers freight and insurance to the destination port. FOB is usually cheaper because you control the freight forwarder — and we handle that part for you.
