Food & Beverage Supply Chain in Saudi Arabia

Importing food into Saudi Arabia means navigating SFDA registration, halal certification, Arabic labeling, shelf-life compliance, cold chain, and retail delivery — all at once. SHEEN manages every step.

Regulatory Requirements

Saudi Food Import: What You Must Have

SFDA Product Registration — required before first import (4–16 weeks)
Halal Certificate from Saudi-recognized body — mandatory for all animal products
Arabic label compliance: ingredients, nutrition table, shelf life, country of origin
SFDA Import Permit per shipment — separate from product registration
SABER Certificate of Conformity for packaged food under GSO standards
Minimum 50% remaining shelf life at Saudi customs entry point
Temperature logs for chilled/frozen cargo — SFDA compliant chain of custody
