How to get the MIM Product Declaration

The Saudi importer fills in the Product Declaration form and submits it to the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources. Once it is approved, it goes into the technical file on SABER, and the shipment certificate can be issued.

Step by step

  1. Check the HS code

    Check whether your product's HS code is on SASO's MIM list. Our HS code checker shows this for each code.

  2. Prepare the product details

    The exporter sends the importer the product name, HS code, model, factory and shipment details the form asks for.

  3. Importer submits the form

    The Saudi importer fills in the Product Declaration form and submits it to the Ministry.

  4. Ministry approves it

    The Ministry reviews the declaration and approves it.

  5. Add it to SABER

    The approved declaration is added to the technical file, and the certification body can issue the shipment certificate.

Tips to avoid delays

  • Start the declaration before the goods ship, not when they reach the port.
  • Make sure the HS code and product details match the invoice and the product certificate.
  • Check the approval date. Approvals are time-limited, so match it to your shipment.

Frequently asked questions

Can the exporter submit it?

No. The declaration is the Saudi importer's. We help both sides prepare the details so it goes through first time.

What if the declaration is missing?

The certification body cannot issue the shipment certificate for listed HS codes, so the goods cannot clear customs.

Do you help with the MIM declaration?

Yes. We check the HS code, prepare the product details and coordinate with your importer and the certification body.
