SABER Certificate for Electrical Control Panels
Electrical control panels need a Supplier Declaration on SABER, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers electrical control panels and distribution boards for up to 1,000 V.
No Saudi technical regulation covers these codes, so electrical control panels are 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. 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
- Test reports for your electrical control panels
- Photos of the product, packaging and labels
- Declaration of conformity
- MIM Product Declaration form
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
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
Do all codes in this group follow the same route?
No. Programmable logic controllers (8537.10.00.0006) need a SABER product certificate. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Do my panels 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.
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 them.
Do you provide the certificate?
Yes*. We help you get the certificates your product needs, from preparing the documents to the final approval.
