Commercial invoice

The document customs values the goods on. Every line needs the model, the registered description in English and Arabic, and the 12-digit Saudi tariff code.

Quantity differs between invoice and packing list

Blocker

Line 2 · HD-2200

Invoice: 600 pcs · Packing list: 580 pcs.

Fix: Ship and document the same quantity. If 580 pcs is what was loaded, reissue the invoice for 580.

Product certificate expires before the vessel arrives

Blocker

Line 2 · HD-2200

PC-25-1190544 expires 2026-12-02; arrival is 2026-12-09. An expired PCoC blocks the shipment certificate.

Fix: Renew the PCoC now, before applying for the shipment certificate.

Tariff code is not the 12-digit Saudi code

Blocker

Line 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.

Fix: Replace it with the full 12-digit code. Confirm it with the SABER HS lookup or your broker.

Model not covered by a product certificate

Blocker

Line 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.

Fix: Either correct the invoice and packing list to PL-36R-W, or register PL-36R as its own model.

Package count differs

Fix

Totals

Packing list: 418 packages · Certificate of origin: 412 packages.

Fix: Recount and reissue whichever document is wrong; the bill of lading must show the same figure.

Bill of lading gross weight differs

Fix

Bill of lading

Bill of lading: 6490 kg · Packing list: 6940 kg.

Fix: Use the weighed figure. Ask the carrier to correct the draft B/L before it is issued, or reissue the packing list if its figure is wrong.

Invoice total doesn't equal the sum of its lines

Fix

Totals

Stated total USD 26,410.00 · lines add up to 26,140.00 (difference 270.00).

Fix: Reissue the invoice with the correct total. A total that doesn't add up invites a valuation query.

No Arabic description

Fix

Line 3 · PL-36R

PL-36R has no Arabic product description.

Fix: Add the Arabic description exactly as registered on SABER.

Shipment certificate not yet requested

Check

Shipment

Arrival is 2026-12-09 (26 days away). Applying after the vessel arrives is a common, costly delay.

Fix: Apply for the SCoC once the documents above are fixed and before the vessel sails.
