SDOC Certificate

The Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is a compliance requirement under Saudi Arabia’s SABER platform for certain products that are not subject to specific technical regulations requiring third-party certification. Through an SDoC, the supplier or importer declares that the product complies with applicable Saudi standards and regulatory requirements before it is imported or placed on the Saudi market.

For importers, manufacturers, and distributors, obtaining an SDoC is an important step in maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring smooth customs clearance for eligible products.

Express Arabia provides end-to-end assistance with SDoC registration and documentation, helping businesses complete the process accurately and efficiently through the SABER platform.

Understanding the Supplier Declaration of Conformity

An SDoC is a formal declaration made by the supplier or importer confirming that a product meets the relevant Saudi standards and safety requirements. Unlike regulated products that require assessment by an approved conformity assessment body, eligible non-regulated products can often be registered through a self-declaration process within SABER.

The SDoC process generally includes:

  • Determining whether the product qualifies for self-declaration
  • Product classification within the SABER platform
  • Preparation and verification of technical documentation
  • Submission of the Supplier Declaration of Conformity
  • Issuance of the declaration for eligible products

Once the declaration is completed, the product can proceed with obtaining the required Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for import clearance when applicable.

Correct product classification is critical, as products that fall under Saudi technical regulations cannot be processed through an SDoC and instead require the appropriate Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC).

Express Arabia simplifies the entire Supplier Declaration of Conformity process by managing every stage of the application.

Declaration Completion

Once approved, the SDoC is issued through the SABER platform, allowing the import process to continue without unnecessary delays.

Our structured process minimizes errors and helps businesses maintain continuous compliance with Saudi import requirements.

Processing Time and Costs for SDoC

The time required to obtain an SDoC depends primarily on the accuracy and completeness of the submitted documentation.

Typically:

  • Processing can often be completed within 1 to 2 working days for eligible products.
  • SABER platform fees apply based on current regulatory requirements.
  • Additional costs may arise if documentation needs revision or if the product is found to require a different conformity assessment process.

Preparing complete and accurate documentation from the beginning significantly improves approval timelines.
