What is a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) and Why is it Crucial for Saudi Imports?

A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a quality assurance check performed on finished goods before they leave the factory. Essentially, a qualified inspector audits the product quality, quantity, and documentation against your order and Saudi standards.

Many countries (and importers) require it to prevent substandard goods or incorrect invoicing. For example, Saudi authorities may demand a Certificate of Conformity (formerly called a PVoC — Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) for certain products entering through Jeddah’s customs facilities, Riyadh’s inland clearance depots, or Dammam’s port authority. This is essentially a verification that goods meet safety and technical criteria before shipment.

Why Saudi Importers Need PSI

In the Saudi context, PSI is more than a formality — it’s about compliance and clearance across the Kingdom’s diverse economic zones. SASO’s SALEEM/Saber program mandates that imported products comply with strict technical regulations whether destined for Riyadh’s government sector, Jeddah’s commercial hub, Dammam’s petrochemical industry, Makkah’s hospitality sector, Medina’s service industries, or the Eastern Province’s energy sector.

Without documented proof, customs can delay or reject your shipment at any of Saudi Arabia’s 27 land border crossings, 8 seaports, or 4 international airports. For instance, electronics lacking an Arabic label or missing safety tests can be held up at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Airport in Medina, or King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. A PSI catches these issues early, ensuring your shipment has all requirements (labels, test reports, etc.) ready for clearance at any Saudi entry point.

It also protects against receiving defective goods, which would be very expensive to fix once the goods arrive in Saudi’s major commercial centers. In short, a PSI is a proactive risk-management step: it prevents costly holdups by ensuring your import conforms to all Saudi standards across the Kingdom’s regions.

GOST Egypt-Saudi Expertise

Our inspectors understand both Egyptian manufacturing standards and Saudi import requirements, providing specialized services for the crucial Egypt-Saudi trade route while also serving Saudi importers sourcing from China, India, Turkey, and other global markets.

Key takeaway: Skipping a PSI risks Saber rejection or customs fines at Saudi’s major ports and airports. A thorough pre-shipment check saves money and time by ensuring your goods clear Saudi requirements at first try, whether entering through Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, or any other Saudi customs facility.

How PSI Connects to the SASO Saber Platform

Saudi Arabia’s SALEEM Saber platform is the mandatory online system for product registration and certification under SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization). PSI is a crucial part of this conformity assessment process for imports entering all Saudi regions. Here’s how they connect:

Regulated Products: For any regulated item entering Saudi Arabia through Jeddah’s Islamic Port, Riyadh’s logistics centers, Dammam’s King Fahd Port, or any other Saudi entry point, importers must register the product in Saber and obtain a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC). A PSI provides the inspection report and evidence needed for testing and compliance. Once a valid PCoC is in place, the exporter can request a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for each consignment destined for Saudi’s commercial hubs.
Certification Workflow: In practice, the importer in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Medina, or any other Saudi city registers product details in Saber (entering HS codes, descriptions, etc.) and selects an accredited body for conformity assessment. Our inspectors perform the PSI, verifying physical goods against technical standards. When the product “receives its approval certificate (Certificate of Conformity)”, Saber issues a shipment certificate to customs authorities at King Abdulaziz Port, Yanbu Port, Ras Al Khair Port, or any Saudi customs facility. This stepwise system streamlines clearance — shipments logged through Saber get priority clearance across all Saudi ports and airports.
Unregulated Products: Even if a product is not listed as “regulated”, it must be self-declared in Saber for entry into Saudi Arabia’s diverse markets, often via a Supplier Declaration of Conformity. PSI still helps by confirming that what you declare matches the product (quantity, specs, safety features) whether bound for Riyadh’s retail sector, Jeddah’s wholesale markets, or Dammam’s industrial facilities.

GOST’s Global-Saudi Network

We provide Pre Shipment Inspection services from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and worldwide sources to all Saudi destinations and worldwide sources, ensuring compliance for goods entering through any of the Kingdom’s 13 provinces and major commercial centers.

Overall, PSI feeds into the Saber platform by providing the inspection and test evidence that SASO needs to certify your goods for the Saudi market. A successful PSI means you can obtain the required Certificate of Conformity online and secure a Shipment Certificate (SCoC) for customs clearance at any Saudi entry point. In short, think of PSI as the practical quality control that enables your Saber certificates and smooth import clearance across the Kingdom.

Our 5-Step Pre-Shipment Inspection Process for Saudi Arabia

To meet Saudi requirements and give you confidence for imports entering Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Medina, and all other Saudi cities, GOST follows a rigorous five-step PSI workflow:

Pre-Inspection Planning & Document Review: We start by confirming shipment details and Saudi regulations applicable to your destination city, whether it’s Riyadh’s government district, Jeddah’s Corniche commercial area, Dammam’s industrial city, or any other Saudi location. Our team reviews your purchase order, product specs, labeling requirements (including Arabic labels required for all Saudi regions) and any existing test reports. We confirm HS codes and whether a SASO Product CoC or other certificates exist for entry into the Kingdom. This “prep work” ensures inspectors know exactly what standards to check (for example, GSO or SASO technical regulations) for compliance across Saudi’s diverse economic zones.
On-Site Physical Inspection: An experienced inspector visits the manufacturing site at the agreed time, whether in Egypt (for Egypt-Saudi trade), China, India, or any global location supplying the Saudi market. We visually and physically examine the goods: counting quantities, checking dimensions and weight, and verifying that all components (and accessories) are present for Saudi market requirements. The factory environment and packaging line are also inspected. We watch for obvious issues like broken parts, poor workmanship, or incorrect assembly (photos are taken on-site) that could cause problems at Saudi customs facilities.
Sampling & Product Testing: If required, we take a statistically significant random sample (AQL method) of the batch for detailed checks aligned with Saudi standards. Depending on the product and its Saudi destination, this may include functional tests (does it work as intended for Saudi consumers?), safety tests (e.g., electrical safety for Saudi voltage standards), and measurement verifications (dimensions, weight). For example, electronics bound for Riyadh might undergo voltage tests for electrical calibration services, while garments destined for Jeddah’s retail sector could have seam and fabric strength checks. These tests confirm that the shipment conforms to Saudi standards across all regions.
Packaging and Labeling Verification: We inspect packaging robustness and labeling compliance for Saudi market entry. This includes checking that fragile items are well-padded for transport to Saudi Arabia and that all boxes carry the correct marks for Saudi customs. Crucially, we verify labeling requirements specific to Saudi Arabia — for instance, electronics must have Arabic and English instructions and local safety marks required for sale in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and throughout the Kingdom. Label or documentation errors (wrong country of origin marking, missing batch numbers, etc.) are caught here. Correct packaging and labeling are essential to avoid Saber rejections at any Saudi port or airport.
Inspection Report & Follow-Up: After inspection, we compile a detailed inspection report suitable for Saudi customs and Saber requirements. This document summarizes findings with photos: it lists any defects or non-conformities (if found), and confirms conformity for passed items. We also provide recommended corrective actions if needed for Saudi market compliance. If everything passes, the report authorizes issuance of the Certificate of Conformity for Saudi import. Our report then supports your Saber submission for any Saudi destination. We can assist with next steps, such as arranging re-inspection or liaising with certification bodies for the Saudi Shipment Certificate.

GOST Egypt-Saudi Specialization

Each step is tailored to Saudi requirements with special expertise in Egypt-Saudi trade corridors. For example, during planning we ensure all SASO technical regulations (and even Gulf GSO standards) relevant to your product are covered for successful entry into Saudi’s market. Throughout the process, our focus on quality control means catching issues early, whether goods are bound for Saudi’s Northern Borders region, Eastern Province, or any other area.

Real-world Example: Using this five-step process, one importer of home appliances in Jeddah’s Al-Balad district avoided a customs hold when we discovered a mislabeled batch of air conditioners bound for Saudi Arabia. Our PSI caught the misprint on the Arabic label and missing thermal cut-off tests, which we corrected before shipment — saving the client from a costly re-export and ensuring smooth clearance at Jeddah Islamic Port.

What Products Require Pre-Shipment Inspection for KSA?

In Saudi Arabia, all imports must comply with SASO regulations across all regions, but certain categories are strictly regulated under the SALEEM programme for entry into any Saudi city. These products always require a full conformity assessment (testing and certification). Examples of regulated products include:

Electrical & Electronic Appliances: TVs for Saudi homes in Riyadh and Jeddah, refrigerators for Dammam’s residential complexes, power tools for Jubail’s industrial sector, cables for infrastructure projects in Neom and other Saudi megaprojects, and lighting fixtures for commercial buildings across the Kingdom. These often need safety tests (IECEE or SASO energy labels) compliant with Saudi electrical standards.
Children’s Toys & Childcare Items: Toys for Saudi families across all regions, nursery furniture for the Kingdom’s growing population centers, baby clothing for Saudi retail markets — to ensure child safety standards are met throughout the country.
Food Contact Materials: Cookware for Saudi households, tableware for the Kingdom’s hospitality sector, packaging that touches food must meet hygiene and material standards for distribution across Saudi’s diverse regions.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Helmets for Saudi construction projects, gloves for industrial workers in Jubail and Yanbu, masks for various Saudi industries — must pass rigorous quality tests for workplace safety across the Kingdom.
Construction & Building Materials: Cement for Saudi’s massive construction projects, wires for infrastructure development, paints for buildings across all Saudi regions, wood products for the Kingdom’s construction boom — to confirm structural and fire-safety specifications meeting Saudi building codes.
Chemicals & Hazardous Materials: Detergents for Saudi consumer markets, lubricating oils for the Kingdom’s automotive sector, industrial chemicals for petrochemical complexes in the Eastern Province — tested for composition and safety compliance with Saudi standards.
Automotive & Transportation: Car parts for Saudi’s automotive market, tires for vehicles across the Kingdom, safety glass for Saudi transportation sector, and even larger items like lifts or trailers for infrastructure projects.

Agricultural Products – GOST’s Specialized Service

GOST provides specialized pre-shipment inspection services for agricultural imports to Saudi Arabia, a crucial sector given the Kingdom’s food security initiatives and Vision 2030 agricultural goals. Our agricultural PSI services cover:

Fresh Produce: Fruits and vegetables from Egypt and global sources destined for Saudi markets in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and other major cities
Grains & Cereals: Wheat, rice, barley, and other staples for Saudi food security programs
Livestock Feed: Animal feed products supporting Saudi’s growing livestock sector
Processed Foods: Packaged agricultural products meeting Saudi health and safety standards
Organic Products: Certified organic agricultural goods for Saudi’s premium markets
Dates & Traditional Products: Quality inspection of dates and traditional foods for Saudi cultural markets

Our agricultural inspection specialists understand phytosanitary requirements, food safety standards, and documentation needed for agricultural imports entering through Saudi’s specialized agricultural ports and facilities across all regions.

(This list is illustrative — SASO defines many more categories.) In contrast, non-regulated products (e.g. generic office furniture, jewelry, or textiles not covered by a technical regulation) still must be declared and safe for the Saudi market, but typically only need a Supplier Declaration of Conformity in Saber. PSI is still valuable here to verify order specs for Saudi market requirements.

Below is a comparison highlighting these categories for Saudi importers:

Product Category	Regulated Examples (need PSI/CoC)	Non-Regulated Examples
Electronics / IT	Adapters, TVs, data cables, home appliances (kettles, mixers)	Office peripherals, non-safety computer parts
Children’s Products	Toys, prams, baby bottles	Toy souvenirs, non-children products
Vehicles / Parts	Tires, safety glass, batteries	Generic vehicle accessories
Home & Kitchen	Sanitary ware, kitchen utensils, batteries	Cookware without contact certification, decor
Clothing & Textiles	Bed linens, protective wear	Fashion clothing, non-protective textiles
Construction	Paints, wiring, insulation, elevators	Non-load building decor, landscaping supplies
Safety Equipment	Helmets, fire extinguishers, alarms	None (safety gear is regulated)

PSI is required for the regulated products above to obtain the necessary Certificates of Conformity for Saudi import. In practice, every import to Saudi Arabia is logged through Saber regardless of destination city. Even if a product is unregulated, sellers often still do a voluntary PSI to ensure no surprises at Saudi customs facilities.

Common Defects We Find (And How PSI Prevents Them)

Our pre-shipment inspections reveal many recurring quality and compliance issues across products destined for Saudi Arabia’s diverse markets. Catching these prevents failed shipments and customer complaints whether goods are bound for Riyadh’s retail sector, Jeddah’s commercial zones, Dammam’s industrial areas, or any other Saudi destination. Common defects include:

Poor Workmanship & Assembly Flaws: Scratches, dents, loose parts or missing screws that could cause rejection at Saudi customs or consumer complaints in Saudi markets. For example, we often find chipped paint on finished electronics destined for Saudi electronics retailers or lamps that are poorly fastened for Saudi commercial installations. These affect product appearance and functionality in Saudi’s quality-conscious market. During PSI, we identify such cosmetic defects (classified as minor/major/critical) and request corrective action before shipment to any Saudi destination.
Specification Mismatches: Products that don’t meet the ordered specs for Saudi market requirements — wrong dimensions, colors, or materials that don’t suit Saudi consumer preferences or technical standards. For instance, a set of metal pipes might be delivered in the wrong alloy or thickness for Saudi construction projects. PSI involves measuring and weighing samples to catch any deviations from the contract or Saudi standards before shipment to the Kingdom.
Functional Failures: Items that don’t work as intended for Saudi market conditions. This can include motors that fail a start-up test under Saudi climate conditions, electronics with wiring faults incompatible with Saudi electrical systems, or vehicles failing basic safety tests for Saudi road conditions. We conduct functional and safety tests on samples to ensure performance compliance with Saudi requirements. Identifying these issues early allows rework before shipping to Saudi Arabia.
Labeling & Documentation Errors: One of the most frequent problems for Saudi imports: missing or incorrect labels and certificates. Saudi regulations often require Arabic labels and specific markings for all regions of the Kingdom. We often catch instances of English-only labels, incorrect HS codes on invoices, or missing country-of-origin stamps — all of which can trigger customs rejections at any Saudi port or airport. For example, a batch of home appliances once lacked the proper Saudi conformity logo; our PSI flagged this so it could be added before export to Saudi Arabia.
Packaging & Quantity Problems: Damaged or inadequate packaging is another issue, especially for long-distance shipments to Saudi Arabia. We find cases where fragile goods are poorly cushioned for transport across land or sea routes to Saudi ports, leading to broken products upon arrival in Riyadh, Jeddah, or other Saudi cities. We also verify carton quantities and ensure the box count matches the packing list, preventing “short ship” disputes with Saudi importers.

GOST’s Egypt-Saudi and Global Expertise: By inspecting before shipment from Egypt or any global source, we ensure such defects are corrected at the source before goods reach Saudi Arabia. Our PSI report provides evidence of product condition and conformity, so you don’t face rejection at Jeddah Islamic Port, King Fahd Port in Dammam, Yanbu Port, or any other Saudi entry point. In many cases, our clients avoid costly re-ships or customs fines thanks to these early warnings, whether importing from Egypt or sourcing globally for the Saudi market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does a pre-shipment inspection cost in Saudi Arabia?

Inspection costs vary by product, order size, and location, whether you’re importing to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, or any other Saudi city. Generally, fees cover the inspector’s time, travel, and testing required for Saudi compliance. Because each job is different, we provide custom quotes. Factors include shipment value, required tests (e.g. lab fees for Saudi standards), and whether special equipment is needed for specific Saudi market requirements. Our advice: Contact GOST for a free quote tailored to your specific shipment destined for any Saudi location.

How do I get a Saber certificate for my products entering Saudi Arabia?

To obtain a SASO Saber certificate (CoC and SCoC) for import to any Saudi city, start by registering your company on the SABER online platform. Then: Register each product by entering its technical details and HS code for Saudi import. Identify if it’s regulated for Saudi market; if so, select an accredited certification body.

Provide required test reports and samples to the CB meeting Saudi standards. After successful testing/conformity assessment, a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) is issued for Saudi import. With a valid PCoC, you then apply for a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for each outbound container destined for Saudi Arabia.

Once Saber issues the SCoC (based on our PSI report), you’re cleared to import to any Saudi destination. All of this is handled online via https://saber.sa. (In short: register, test, and certify through Saber with our support for Saudi compliance.)

What is the difference between PSI and a factory audit?

A pre-shipment inspection (PSI) and a factory audit serve different purposes for Saudi imports. A PSI focuses on the goods themselves — it checks the finished products for quality and compliance with Saudi standards right before shipment to the Kingdom. The output is an inspection report on the actual shipment bound for Saudi Arabia. A factory audit, by contrast, evaluates the factory’s systems and capacity — such as quality management, production processes, worker conditions, and capability to meet Saudi market requirements. Audits help you choose or monitor a supplier’s capability for Saudi supply chains, while PSI verifies your specific order’s conformance to Saudi standards. (For clarity, see comparison below.)

Aspect	Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)	Factory Audit
Timing	After production, just before shipping	Before or during production
Focus	Product quality, quantity, packaging	Factory operations, systems, capacity
Outcome	Inspection report on specific shipment	Audit report with improvement needs
Who pays?	Usually importer or manufacturer	Client seeking factory evaluation
When to use	To ensure one shipment meets standards	To assess or select a supplier

Can you perform inspections in China for goods shipping to Jeddah/Riyadh/Dammam?

Yes. Pre-shipment inspections are typically done at the country of origin, before goods leave the supplier’s factory for Saudi Arabia. Our network of inspectors can be dispatched to manufacturing sites in China, Egypt, India, or other origin countries to inspect goods bound for Saudi Arabia’s major ports and cities including Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Makkah, Medina, and all other Saudi destinations. As official guidelines note, “the exporter must make the goods available for inspection in the country of origin”. We coordinate with your overseas suppliers to book PSI dates, ensuring the shipment meets Saudi import requirements before departure. Once inspected at origin, the cleared shipment can proceed to Jeddah Islamic Port, King Fahd Port in Dammam, Yanbu Commercial Port, or any other Saudi entry point without surprises.

We provide particular expertise for Egypt-Saudi trade routes, understanding both Egyptian export capabilities and Saudi import requirements for seamless trade flow across the Red Sea corridor.
