If you searched for medical equipment importer, you need specifics, not brochures. Here they are — and Modjo turns them into a working shipment.
The rules of the lane: 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.
For medical devices specifically: duty is 0–5%; most medical lines are low or duty-free; certification — SFDA Medical Device Marketing Authorization (MDMA) before import; the authorised representative in Saudi Arabia is mandatory for foreign manufacturers. MDMA licensing takes weeks to months depending on device class, far longer than the freight, so registration must start when the purchase is planned, not when cargo ships.
Everything above applies to medical equipment importer directly — send your details and get exact figures.
Leave your number — a specialist replies within 30 minutes during Saudi working hours.
A CR with import activity, FASAH importer number, product certificates, and a customs declaration — or an importer of record if you lack a Saudi entity.
Commercial import requires a registered establishment; personal shipments follow separate simplified rules.
