Do I need SASO certification to export to Saudi Arabia?

Yes, exporting to Saudi Arabia must be certified by SASO.

SASO is the abbreviation of Saudi Arabian Standards Organization, namely Saudi Arabian Standards Organization. SASO is responsible for formulating national standards for all daily necessities and products, and the standards also involve measurement systems, labels, etc. SASO certification is a general term for exporting to Saudi Arabia. In fact, it should be called Certificate certification, translated into a declaration of conformity, that is, COC certification (take the first letter of three words). Therefore, it is wrong to print the word SASO certification on the product surface, which may lead to unsuccessful customs clearance. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Industry and Commerce and SASO require all products that meet SASO certification standards to have SASO certification when entering Saudi customs. Products without SASO certificate will be refused entry by Saudi port customs.
