SABER Certificate for Caustic Soda
Caustic soda needs a Supplier Declaration on SABER, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), solid or as lye.
No Saudi technical regulation covers these codes, so caustic soda 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 caustic soda
- Photos of the product, packaging and labels

This is our default preparation list. Actual requirements depend on the product, HS Code, applicable regulation, certification route and shipment details. We verify the list for your product before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions
Does caustic potash use these codes?
No. Potassium hydroxide has its own code under 2815.20.
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.
