SABER Certificate for Cotton Yarn
Cotton yarn needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers cotton yarn that is not put up for retail sale, single or plied, combed or not.
Cotton yarn falls 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
Does yarn for retail sale use these codes?
No. Cotton yarn put up for retail sale falls under heading 5207.
How do I find the decitex of my yarn?
Your yarn count is on the test report or spec sheet. We convert it to decitex and pick the code for you.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your cotton yarn. 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.
