What has to travel with it

Saudi imports require SASO conformity and a certificate of origin. We issue the Arab preference certificate through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce, which removes duty under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area for qualifying goods.

Where it lands

Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam

Most of what we ship into the Kingdom lands at Jeddah, for the western region and for Riyadh, or at Dammam for the Eastern Province. Jeddah is the short Red Sea crossing from Sokhna and usually the cheaper entry for Riyadh and the west; Dammam suits Dhahran, Khobar and the industrial east. We quote both and you take the better landed cost, with inland haulage to site on request. For a phased Riyadh tower or a Jeddah hotel we reserve blocks against the programme and cut to call-off, so the colour stays consistent from the first container to the last.

Paving & hardscape

Granite paving for Saudi projects

External paving that has to survive the heat is a large share of the granite trade here: setts and paving cubes for plazas, parking and streetscape, 60 or 80 mm thick, flamed and tumbled, with kerbs from the same stone. We price a paving bill of quantities line by line, CIF Jeddah or Dammam, with the container count for every thickness.
