Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Arab world and one of the world's top oil exporters, with petroleum and petrochemicals dominating its export profile. As a WTO member and GCC participant, Saudi Arabia applies the GCC Common External Tariff and has been actively diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, increasing demand for foreign machinery, technology, and consumer goods. The US, China, Japan, South Korea, and India are among its principal trading partners.
Exporters must provide a commercial invoice, certificate of origin (often requiring Arab Chamber authentication), packing list, and for food products, halal certification and Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) approval.
Saudi Arabia's top imports include machinery and mechanical appliances, vehicles and transport equipment, electrical equipment, food products, and base metals, driven by infrastructure and consumer demand.
Yes. Saudi Arabia levies a 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) on most goods and services, including imports, which was increased from 5% in July 2020.
