SABER Certificate for Brake Parts
Brake parts need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers brakes, brake pads, brake boosters and other brake parts.
Brake parts fall under the Technical Regulation for Auto Spare Parts. Before the first shipment, an approved certification body reviews your test reports and issues a SABER Product Certificate. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs. Since 18 June 2026, your Saudi importer also needs an approved MIM Product Declaration for these codes before the shipment certificate can be issued.
Documents required
SABER certificate type: Type 1a or Type 3, depending on the product. Type 1a is type approval: the technical file is reviewed and a sample tested. Type 3 adds a certified product safety management system with factory audits. Original spare parts listed in the regulation need Type 1a, replacement (aftermarket) parts need Type 3, and parts not listed need only a supplier declaration.

Frequently asked questions
Do my brake parts need the MIM Product Declaration?
Yes. These codes are on the MIM list, so your importer's declaration must be approved before the shipment certificate is issued.
Do brake fluids use these codes?
No. Brake fluid falls under heading 3819.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your brake parts. The shipment certificate covers one shipment, so you need a new one each time you ship.
Do you provide the certificate?
Yes*. We help you get the certificates your product needs, from preparing the documents to the final approval.
