SABER Certificate for Carpets and Rugs
Carpets and rugs need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers carpets and rugs, hand-knotted, woven or tufted.
Carpets and rugs fall under the Technical Regulation of Textile Products. 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.
Documents required
SABER certificate type: Type 1a (type approval). A SASO-accepted certification body reviews your technical file and tests a representative sample. There is no factory audit. Children's textiles (up to 36 months) and underwear need Type 3.

Frequently asked questions
Do all codes in this group follow the same route?
No. Some woven and tufted carpets also need the MIM Product Declaration. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Do bath mats use these codes?
Yes, if they are textile floor coverings. Send us your product and we will confirm the code.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your carpets and rugs. 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.
