The Saudi Arabia’s Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has announced new customs service fees starting October 6, 2024. The new rules include waiving the fees for all customs services for exports. The authority also reduced customs service fees for imports through a new mechanism for calculating import service fees, which involves a fee of 0.15% of the value of the incoming goods for customs declaration processing services. In addition, the Fee Document on Customs Services stipulates a fee of SAR15 for customs declaration processing services on individuals’ shipments arriving through online stores, provided that the value of these shipments does not exceed SAR1,000.
