SABER Certificate for Cotton Trousers
Cotton trousers need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.

Overview
This page covers woven cotton trousers, shorts and overalls for men and women.
Cotton trousers 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. Women's cotton trousers (6204.62) also need the MIM Product Declaration. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Do knitted trousers use these codes?
No. Knitted trousers and joggers fall under heading 6103 or 6104.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your cotton trousers. 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.
