Saudi Arabia rules to know before you pack
Receiver ID number
Saudi customs clearance of courier parcels commonly needs the receiver’s Iqama or national ID number along with a Saudi mobile number. Keep it ready when you book.
Banned items
Alcohol, pork products, narcotics and khus khus (poppy seeds) are not allowed into Saudi Arabia. Leave poppy seeds out of spice packs.
Medicines need clearance
Medicines going to Saudi Arabia can need approval, and some common medicines are controlled. Send us the medicine names before you pack.
Declare everything honestly
List every item with quantity and value. Clear, honest lists clear customs faster than vague words like “gift items”.
Documents needed
- Your ID proof (KYC): a copy of your Aadhaar, passport or PAN card. Courier exports from India are declared electronically under CBIC’s courier regulations, and the sender’s identity is part of that declaration.
- Contents list: every item with quantity and a fair value, for example “3 cotton kurtas” or “1 kg mango pickle, homemade”. Mark gifts as gifts.
- Receiver’s details: full name, building number, street, district, city, a Saudi mobile number and the receiver’s Iqama or national ID number.
- Business shipments: a commercial invoice, plus the exporter’s IEC and GST details where they apply.

Packing tips for Saudi Arabia
- Use a strong, right-sized carton. A box that is too big adds volumetric weight.
- Seal jars with cling film under the lid, tape the lid, then double-bag each jar in zip-lock bags.
- Vacuum-seal or double-bag sweets, snacks and spices so smells and oil stay inside.
- Wrap fragile items separately and fill every gap so nothing moves.
- Write the receiver’s address and phone clearly, and put a copy inside the box.
