chinese garment manufacturers: below are the numbers that actually matter in Saudi practice — rates, transit times, paperwork — with Modjo ready to run it end to end.
The short version: For OEM/private-label goods the SABER certificate belongs to the brand owner — you, not the factory — so certification starts before production ships.
For clothing and textiles specifically: duty is 5–15%; several apparel lines carry elevated protective rates, verify per HS code; certification — SABER conformity with textile composition test reports; children's clothing faces additional safety requirements. Composition labels that disagree with lab reports (for example "100% cotton" on a blend) are treated as misdeclaration, one of the few errors that carries fines beyond reassessment.
