Key Regulatory Update
In line with directives issued by MAWANI, logistics service providers are no longer permitted to collect cargo-related security deposits for shipments entering Saudi Arabia.
This regulatory change simplifies import procedures and reduces upfront costs for consignees.

✅ Key Benefits

Updated Documentation & Release Process
Step 1: Broker Submission
Authorized customs brokers must submit a Letter of Undertaking (LOU) on official company letterhead to the designated documentation center in Saudi Arabia.
Step 2: LOU Requirements
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Validity | 365 days from issuance date |
| Authentication | Saudi Chamber of Commerce certification |
| Format | Original hard copy submission |
Step 3: Cargo Release Authorization
Upon approval of the LOU, cargo release documentation is issued promptly, enabling faster delivery coordination.
⚠️ Important Notes
