What decides the outcome: With documents and SABER certificates ready before arrival, release takes 1–3 working days at Jeddah, Dammam or Riyadh Dry Port. Customs clearance in Saudi Arabia runs through the FASAH platform under ZATCA (the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority). The standard duty is 5% of CIF value (range 0–25% by HS code), plus 15% VAT on CIF + duty.
