SABER Certificate for Kraft Paper
Kraft paper needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, including kraftliner and sack kraft paper.
Kraft paper falls under the Technical Regulation for Paper and Cardboard. 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.
- Test reports for your kraft paper
- Declaration of conformity

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
Can I use the Quality Mark instead of a SABER product certificate?
Yes. SABER accepts either a SABER product certificate or the Saudi Quality Mark for kraft paper. We help you choose.
Do finished cartons use these codes?
No. Boxes and cartons have their own codes. See our cartons page.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your kraft paper. 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.
