Quality Mark Certificate for Steel Bars and Rods
Steel bars and rods need a Saudi Quality Mark, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers round steel bars and rods up to 32 mm in diameter, including ribbed reinforcing bars (rebar).
Steel bars and rods fall under the Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 1: Metals and their Alloys, and SABER lists the Saudi Quality Mark for these codes. The Quality Mark is a licence from SASO, granted after product testing and a factory review. Each shipment then needs its own 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 steel bars and rods
- Product details and technical data sheet
- Photos of the product, packaging and markings
- 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. Bars of other sizes and shapes, such as 7214.20.90, need a SABER product certificate instead of the Quality Mark. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Does rebar always need the Quality Mark?
For round rebar of these sizes, yes. SABER lists only the Quality Mark for these codes.
Is the Quality Mark the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The Quality Mark covers your steel bars and rods. 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.
