            Frequently Asked Questions

            What is the difference between 6-digit and 12-digit HS Code?
            International HS codes use 6 digits for global product groups, whereas Saudi Arabia uses a 12-digit national tariff code for precise local duty enforcement.
            The 12-digit HS code directly determines whether your product requires a mandatory PCoC certificate or simple self-declaration on SABER.
            You can use the first 6 digits as a baseline, but the remaining 6 digits must be aligned with specific Saudi national tariff subheadings.
