The Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is a document confirming that a product complies with Saudi Arabian technical regulations and standards. Unlike certificates of conformity (PCoC and SCoC), the declaration is issued directly by the supplier without mandatory involvement of a notified body.
This declaration is required for low-risk products that are not subject to mandatory certification. It simplifies import procedures and speeds up customs clearance.

Which products can be covered by an SDoC 

SDoCs can be used for:

• Products not covered by technical regulations or considered low risk.
• Spare parts, components, and accessories.
• Products intended for industrial use only and not for retail sale.

It is crucial to check your product’s classification in the SABER system carefully. An incorrect classification can result in customs delays or penalties.

Step-by-step process of issuing an SDoC through SABER 

• Register in SABER

Create an account for your company or importer on the official SABER platform.

• Add product details

Enter product information: description, HS codes, photos, user manuals, and labeling.

• Select document type

When adding the product, choose “Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)”.

• Confirm compliance

Upload supporting documents if available: test reports, quality certificates, Arabic manuals, etc.

• Pay administrative fees (if applicable)

Some product categories require a small administrative fee.

• Generate the declaration

Once the information is verified in SABER, an electronic declaration is generated and linked to your product, ready for use in import documentation.
Common mistakes when issuing an SDoC and how to avoid them

• Incorrect product category selection (for example, using SDoC for products requiring certification).
• Missing or improperly translated supporting documents.
• Errors in product descriptions or labeling.
• Incorrect HS codes, causing customs delays.

To avoid mistakes, it is highly recommended to consult with experts and ensure all documentation is prepared according to KSA standards.
