Quality Mark Certificate for Hot-rolled Steel Coils
Hot-rolled steel coils need a Saudi Quality Mark, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers hot-rolled steel coils up to 3 mm thick.
Hot-rolled steel coils 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 hot-rolled steel coils
- 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 my steel sheets need the MIM Product Declaration?
Yes. These codes are on the MIM list, so your importer's declaration must be approved before the shipment certificate is issued.
Do narrow steel strips use these codes?
No. Flat steel under 600 mm wide falls under headings 7211 and 7212.
Is the Quality Mark the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The Quality Mark covers your hot-rolled steel coils. 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.
