How to Export to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is one of the most attractive markets for Italian companies operating internationally. The Saudi market represents the second-largest destination for Italian goods in the Gulf region—after the United Arab Emirates—with a significant increase in exports recorded in recent years.
Exporting to Saudi Arabia demands specialized skills and a thorough knowledge of customs regulations and procedures, in order to manage commercial operations correctly and efficiently.
Exporting to Saudi Arabia with the Right Partners
To take full advantage of the many business opportunities offered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is crucial to rely on experienced and well-informed economic and logistics partners who are up to date with current regulations.
A key point of reference for Italian companies entering this promising market is the “Joint Italian Arab Chamber of Commerce”, which provides assistance and support throughout the entire export process:
- Helping companies approach the market
- Providing strategic and intercultural consulting
- Offering document authentication services necessary for the internationalization process
The Joint Italian Arab Chamber of Commerce thus offers comprehensive consulting services—from the preliminary analysis stage to the planning and development of operational activities. Specifically, it assesses the product category in relation to demand and the specific cultural context. This way, the company embarks on the internationalization journey only after a careful feasibility check of the project, thereby avoiding setbacks and unpleasant surprises.
The Joint Italian Arab Chamber of Commerce also organizes promotional networking events and exploratory business trips to discover the market and establish contacts with local companies.
MWM: Logistics Partner for the Saudi Market
Relying on a logistics partner with experience in the Arab market ensures optimal management of the shipping and distribution of Italian goods throughout Saudi Arabia.
MWM is a freight forwarder specialized in trade with Saudi Arabia. It is well-versed in local dynamics and restrictions, bureaucratic procedures, required certifications, and duties needed for customs clearance. This is also thanks to a partnership with a Saudi logistics contact, with whom MWM collaborates to ensure the smooth handling of logistics processes.
MWM advises and supports clients, providing the correct customs codes and managing all the documentation necessary to carry out the complete export procedure.
From Italy to the Final Recipient: Exporting to Saudi Arabia with MWM
The logistics service offered by MWM covers the entire transportation process up to the final recipient, with no additional shipping costs incurred locally. Delivery is made directly to the destination designated by the client, rather than using the “ex works” method, which would require the buyer to collect the goods from a warehouse.
Through dedicated consulting, cost analysis, and targeted strategic planning, MWM is the ideal partner for Italian companies needing to ship and distribute their products to businesses in Saudi Arabia.
