About Sanad Global — and how these guides are made
Sanad Global is a customs and logistics service focused on one lane done properly: imports into Saudi Arabia. We handle customs clearance through FASAH/ZATCA, conformity work (SABER, SFDA, SASO), international freight — sea, air, road — and delivery across the Kingdom, as one accountable chain or as separate services. This page explains how we work and how the guide library you are reading is written and maintained.
What we do
- Customs brokerage — declarations in FASAH, ZATCA queries, duty payment, release at Jeddah, Dammam and Riyadh Dry Port
- Compliance — SABER product and shipment certificates, SFDA registrations, HS classification, labelling review
- Freight — FCL/LCL sea, air cargo, GCC road freight, project and reefer cargo
- In-Kingdom logistics — trucking, warehousing (including bonded), distribution
- Structures — importer-of-record service, re-export and bonded flows, company-setup guidance for market entry
We quote landed cost — freight, port charges, duty, VAT — as one figure before you commit, and we work in English and Arabic, with Russian, Turkish, Persian and Chinese available. Contact: info@sanad-x.com.
How the guides are written
Every guide in this library follows the same editorial method. Facts about Saudi procedures are drawn from the official frameworks — ZATCA customs regulations and tariff, SABER/SASO technical regulations, SFDA rules, FASAH platform documentation — combined with the operational practice of clearing real cargo at Saudi ports. Costs and timelines are published as indicative ranges, not promises: rates move with seasons and carriers, and every guide that cites numbers says so. Where rules are discretionary (exemptions, rectifications, mitigation), we describe the practice honestly rather than guaranteeing outcomes.
Guides are reviewed against regulation changes and reader questions, and updated when the underlying rules move — the schema dates on each page reflect the last revision. If you find something outdated or wrong, tell us at info@sanad-x.com: corrections ship fast.
What we are — and are not
Sanad Global is an independent private service provider. We are not a government body and not affiliated with ZATCA, SFDA, SASO or the FASAH platform — official portals remain zatca.gov.sa, sfda.gov.sa, saber.sa and fasah.sa, and every guide that mentions them links to the authority, not around it. Our guides are general information, not legal or tax advice for a specific case: your product, contract and history change the answers, which is why every page ends with an offer to look at your actual shipment — that review, unlike generic advice, is something we can stand behind.
