SABER Certificate for Acetic Acid
Acetic acid needs a Supplier Declaration on SABER, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers acetic acid, both industrial grade and grade for making vinegar.
No Saudi technical regulation covers these codes, so acetic acid is registered on SABER with a supplier declaration instead of a product certificate. Each shipment still needs a SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs.
Documents required
- Test reports for your acetic acid

Frequently asked questions
Does vinegar-grade acetic acid use a different code?
Yes. Acetic acid for edible vinegar has its own code, 2915.21.20.
Does a dangerous goods shipment need anything extra?
Yes. Hazardous chemicals need a safety data sheet and the right labelling for transport. We check these with your documents.
Why is there no product certificate?
No Saudi technical regulation covers these codes, so SABER asks for a supplier declaration instead. You still need a shipment certificate each time you ship it.
Do you provide the certificate?
Yes*. We help you get the certificates your product needs, from preparing the documents to the final approval.
