FASAH and SABER e-platforms are linked 

The Fasah System is integrated with the SASO SABER Online System and due to its effect, all the shipments will be cleared at the entry points in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a valid Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCOC), non-availability of which, will result in shipments to be re-exported to the country of origin.

Indeed, with the integration of FASAH* and SABER**, the product clearance will be shortened and will be eased at every entry point.

This will also allow paperwork reduction and will decrease costs for importers and traders when requesting a certificate of conformity and obtaining the customs declaration.
