Because Xiaoyi has a special international logistics line in Saudi Arabia, I will introduce relevant customs tariff policies and customs clearance requirements in Saudi Arabia, so that everyone can carry out local foreign trade work.

The first is the Saudi customs tariff policy

2. When all goods enter the country, the customs will evaluate the final price of the goods according to their origin. If the final price is higher than the original value, you must pay additional customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax; if the final price is lower than the original value, you do not need to pay any fees, and you will not be refunded if you make up less.

3. There is no preferential tax policy in Saudi Customs, and all goods exported to Saudi Arabia will be taxed according to the highest tax rate. The standard rate of value-added tax on all imported goods is 15%. If there is any violation, the value-added tax declaration report will be passed and the verification certificate will be attached.

4. Normally, if the goods need to be stored in the customs bonded area or warehouse for a period of time, storage fees usually need to be paid.

For goods detained by customs, Saudi Customs does not charge storage fees, and the maximum detention time is 14 days. Any goods that cannot provide customs clearance documents as required will be returned to the place of origin.
