FASAH Platform for SASO and SABER Saudi Imports
2 resources tagged with "Fasah"
FASAH is Saudi Arabia's single-window customs platform that ties together SABER registration and SASO conformity for electronics shipments. In practice it's where your PCoC (Product Certificate of Conformity) and SCoC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity) clear before goods are released at port. The importer of record — usually the Saudi consignee, not the Chinese factory — holds the SABER account, while the factory's job is to supply valid IEC test reports (IEC 62368-1, IEC 62133 for batteries) that underpin the certificate.
The common stumbling block is treating FASAH as the factory's responsibility — it isn't. The Saudi importer registers the product in SABER and pulls the SCoC per shipment; the China supplier must deliver matching IEC reports and product details. A mismatch between the model on the SCoC and the shipped goods stalls clearance.

FAQ
Who handles FASAH and SABER — the factory or the importer?
The Saudi importer of record holds the SABER and FASAH account and obtains the shipment certificate. The Chinese factory supplies the supporting IEC test reports and accurate product data; it does not register on FASAH directly.
What does a factory need to provide for SABER through FASAH?
Valid IEC test reports for the product (commonly IEC 62368-1 for electronics, IEC 62133 for lithium batteries), the model number, technical specs, and often a declaration of conformity. These feed the PCoC, after which the SCoC is issued per shipment.
How long does SABER certification via FASAH take?
A PCoC typically takes one to three weeks once complete IEC reports are in hand; the per-shipment SCoC issues within a day or two after. Delays almost always trace to missing or mismatched test reports from the factory.
