brazilian imports: below are the numbers that actually matter in Saudi practice — rates, transit times, paperwork — with Modjo ready to run it end to end.
Context before quotes: Commercial importing into Saudi Arabia needs four things: a CR with import activity, a FASAH importer number, the right certificates (SABER for most goods, SFDA for food/cosmetics/medical), and a cleared declaration — duty mostly 5% plus 15% VAT. First-time setup takes days; each shipment clears in 1–3 working days.
On the Brazil lane specifically: sea freight to Saudi ports takes 25–35 days and air 4–7 days; typical cargo includes poultry and beef, coffee, sugar, animal feed. Main routings: Santos or Paranagua to Jeddah, usually via transshipment. Brazil is Saudi Arabia's protein corridor: halal slaughter certification from approved plants is the gating document for meat, and SFDA facility approval must exist before contracts, not before vessels.
With brazilian imports, certificates ready before sailing beat any discount on freight.
