Important development regarding customs refunds under the Proof of Origin regulations in Saudi Arabia.
Since introducing the Proof of Origin guidelines in 2021, all imports into Saudi Arabia must comply with strict Rules of Origin criteria. Non-compliance resulted in importers being subject to customs duties. Over time, businesses and large conglomerates have taken significant steps to ensure compliance, and many have now successfully met the required conditions to claim refunds on previously paid customs duties.
We are pleased to observe a positive shift in regulatory implementation, with improved documentation processes leading to successful customs duty refunds from ZATCA. This progress highlights ZATCA’s commitment to supporting industries by streamlining compliance procedures and facilitating refunds.
