Saudi Arabia is one of the largest food import markets in the Middle East, with strict SFDA and SABER certification requirements. We manage every compliance step so your cargo clears King Abdulaziz Port without delays.
Get a Saudi Arabia QuoteThe Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) enforces rigorous import standards. Non-compliant shipments are rejected or destroyed at port. We prepare all documentation from the origin side — so you never face a clearance problem.
Mandatory for all food products entering Saudi Arabia. The certifying body must be SFDA-recognised. Endura coordinates with SFDA-approved Halal bodies in Brazil for instant coffee, brown sugar, and pet food exports.
All regulated food products require a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) through the SABER portal before shipment. This is non-negotiable — shipments without a valid SABER certificate are detained at customs.
The SFDA requires a health certificate, Certificate of Origin (authenticated by Saudi embassy), commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Products must also be registered in the SFDA system prior to import.
Saudi regulations mandate full Arabic labelling including product name, ingredients, nutritional information, country of origin, and expiry date. Endura arranges compliant Arabic label artwork before production.
We manage every one of these requirements from the Brazil side — before your container is loaded.
FCL shipments depart from Santos Port, Brazil — South America's busiest container terminal — and arrive at King Abdulaziz Port in Jeddah via the Atlantic and Red Sea route.
Endura Export operates on an FCL-only basis. Minimum order is 1 × 20' container (18–22 MT depending on product and packaging). We do not offer LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation. All FOB prices are quoted ex-Santos.
All products are SFDA-compliant, Halal-certified from SFDA-recognised bodies, and SABER-registered. We handle documentation from Santos to Jeddah.

Food imports to Saudi Arabia must comply with SFDA regulations and SABER product certification. Halal certification from an SFDA-approved body is mandatory. Brazilian products require ANVISA registration (for coffee and sugar) or MAPA certification (for pet food). A Certificate of Origin, health certificate, and commercial invoice authenticated by the Saudi Embassy in Brazil are required for customs clearance at King Abdulaziz Port.
SABER (Saudi Product Safety Program) is a mandatory certification system for regulated products entering Saudi Arabia, including food products. Importers must obtain a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) through the SABER portal before shipment. Without a valid SABER certificate, your cargo will be detained at customs. Endura Export coordinates all SABER documentation requirements from the Brazil side before your container is loaded.
The primary port for food imports into Saudi Arabia is King Abdulaziz Port in Jeddah, operated by the Saudi Ports Authority. It handles the majority of FCL food shipments from Brazil. Transit time from Santos, Brazil to Jeddah is approximately 20–26 days depending on the shipping line and route chosen.
Endura Export works exclusively with FCL (Full Container Load) orders — a minimum of one 20-foot container, which typically holds 18–22 MT depending on product and packaging. This ensures cost-effective FOB pricing and full SFDA and SABER documentation compliance. We do not offer LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation services.
