Pre-shipment checks for Saudi imports

Tariff code is not the 12-digit Saudi code
BlockerLine 3 · PL-36R
The invoice shows 9405.11 (6 digits). SABER only accepts 12-digit codes synced with ZATCA's tariff. The product certificate registers it under 9405 11 00 00 11.
Model not covered by a product certificate
BlockerLine 3 · PL-36R
The invoice says PL-36R; the closest certificate (PC-26-0587120) is registered for PL-36R-W. SABER matches model strings exactly.
Example data — not a real customer.
12 digitsSABER now accepts only the full Saudi tariff code, synced with ZATCA's tariff.
1 certificate per modelEach PCoC is tied to one model string and lasts a year. A one-letter difference fails the match.
Every day at port costsPort storage and demurrage run per container for as long as a document is being fixed.
Why containers get held
Your product is certified. The paperwork has to agree with it.
Your PCoC already proved the product is compliant. SABER and customs check that the documents agree, so a field that says one thing on the invoice and another on the packing list, the certificate or the bill of lading can lead to a query, an inspection or a hold, depending on the field. Here is the demo shipment, side by side.

Eight planted mistakes across five documents. Each one is quick to fix before booking and expensive to fix at the port.
How it works
Ten minutes before booking, not ten days at the port.
1 · Add the documents
Upload what the supplier sent
Drop in the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as PDFs or photos. Claude reads them into fields; you check them against the original.
2 · Run the checks
See the mismatches the port may see
Every check compares models, quantities, tariff codes, totals, weights, origin and dates across the documents and your SABER product certificates.
3 · Send the fix list
Get it corrected at the source
Copy a plain fix list or share a read-only link with the supplier or forwarder. Recheck the corrected documents, then book.
What we check
The mismatches that actually hold shipments.
Blockers can stop the SABER shipment certificate or the customs declaration. Fixes invite a query or inspection. Checks are timing to confirm.
