The latest warning information is released. The Saudi Arabian Customs stipulates that the products exported to the country must be marked with the original country of origin in such a way that the marking or sticker cannot be removed, and the outer box (carton) must also be printed to indicate the country of origin. In addition, the details of the Certificate of Origin (CO) must also be consistent. If the goods arrive in the country and they are found to be unmarked in the country of origin, they will not be allowed to re-sign the mark and return directly to the port of shipment without further notice, and the cost will be borne by the shipper (underwriter). The current regulations have entered into force and are urgently needed to be of concern to exporting companies.
Saudi Arabia is one of the major exporters of Chinese companies in the Middle East. Therefore, the inspection and quarantine department reminds all relevant export enterprises to attach great importance to this regulation. When signing a contract with the customer, it should strengthen the identification of the mark to prevent the goods from being returned due to the failure to indicate “Made in China”, especially at the current export. When the situation is not optimistic due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the identification problem is likely to become an excuse for foreign customers to return or demand compensation, resulting in unnecessary losses.
