Important Requirement for Exporting New Cars to Saudi Arabia
All shipments of new vehicles require a Certificate of Conformity.
Saudi Customs have recently confirmed that they will be reinforcing the requirement for the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) as per the MoCI decree 6386 for clearing shipments of new vehicles.
Exporters who have been previously issuing self Certificates of Conformity to clear their shipments will no longer be able to do so. Instead it will be mandatory for exporters to obtain CoCs from Certification and Inspection bodies such as Intertek.
All new vehicles arriving in the Kingdom without a Certificate of Conformity issued by an inspection body could be subject to significant delays in the clearance of goods from Customs or possible penalties.
