Saudi Arabia COC Certification
Certification Introduction
The COC certificate is a requirement of many countries. For goods exported to the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, the customs of the importing country requires the importer to provide the certificate of conformity (COC, Certificate of Conformance) issued by an accredited international certification company for the batch of goods. Among them, SASO (Arab Standards Organization) stipulates that imported goods must have a COC customs clearance certificate. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia implements product conformity certification for imported goods. All products are required to carry a certificate of conformity, also known as a Saudi COC certificate, so that the product can complete import clearance at Saudi customs.
