Logistics ERP for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in logistics infrastructure as part of Vision 2030, with the National Industrial and Logistics Development Program targeting the kingdom position as a logistics hub connecting three continents. The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) manages commercial ports including King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam and Jeddah Islamic Port. The General Authority of Civil Aviation oversees air cargo operations. Saudi Customs administers the FASAH platform for electronic customs declarations, which is the mandatory system for import and export clearance.
Logistics in Saudi Arabia
Customs duties follow the GCC Common External Tariff at 5% for most goods, with some products attracting higher rates. The SABER conformity assessment platform requires importers to obtain product conformity certificates before customs clearance. Free zones including King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), Ras Al Khair, and the planned NEOM special economic zone offer duty suspension and tax incentives. Transit movements within the GCC follow the unified customs procedures, and Saudi Arabia role in the GCC Customs Union affects how goods move across member state borders.
VAT at 15% applies to logistics services, and ZATCA FATOORA e-invoicing is mandatory for all transactions. Withholding tax applies to payments made to non-resident logistics partners and service providers. The Saudi Logistics Hub initiative under the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services targets specific KPIs for transit time, customs clearance efficiency, and logistics cost reduction. The Public Transport Authority regulates road freight with specific requirements for vehicle standards, driver licensing, and cargo safety.
Yukti provides Saudi logistics companies with FASAH customs declaration integration for import and export clearance, SABER conformity certificate tracking, and GCC customs union transit procedures. The warehouse module manages operations in free zones with duty suspension tracking and re-export documentation. Fleet management handles PTA vehicle compliance, driver licensing including Saudi and international permits, and fuel card management with ARAMCO fleet fuel integration. Route planning accounts for the unique Saudi geography including extreme heat considerations for temperature-sensitive cargo and prayer time delivery restrictions. ZATCA FATOORA e-invoicing generates compliant invoices for freight services at 15% VAT. Withholding tax calculations apply correct rates to non-resident service provider payments. Nitaqat compliance monitors Saudization levels for logistics operations. The cold chain module tracks temperature throughout the supply chain, which is critical given Saudi Arabia extreme summer temperatures.
