Riyadh, Saudi Arabia:

Saudi Customs announced that starting Sunday, 30th of September 2018, transit shipments will not be granted passage unless they are securely enclosed within proper containers.

The newly announced regulation that previously targeted only tobacco and tobacco related products, will be applied to all transit shipments, except the ones that cannot be enclosed within containers due to their large size or length, including heavy equipment, iron pipes, or similar goods.

This new regulation comes to complement the Customs’ efforts in enhancing the customs control on all shipments arriving to the Kingdom, in aims to prevent the entry of fabricated and counterfeited products and avert the smuggling of transit-goods into the Kingdom.
