SABER Certificate for Plastic Packaging
Plastic packaging needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers plastic packaging such as crates, boxes, sacks and bags.
Plastic packaging falls under the Technical Regulation for Packaging. 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
- Test reports for your plastic packaging
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details
- Photos of the product 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
Do all codes in this group follow the same route?
No. Biodegradable polyethylene bags (3923.21.10) need a shipment certificate plus the Saudi Quality Mark or a biodegradable plastic certificate. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Do plastic bottles use these codes?
No. Bottles and jars fall under 3923.30.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your plastic packaging. 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.
