Importing Rice to Saudi Arabia: FAQ
Saudi consumers prefer sella (parboiled) basmati for kabsa and mandi dishes. Sella rice holds its shape during long cooking, does not become sticky, and has a firmer bite. It also has a longer shelf life.
Saudi Arabia requires SASO (Saudi Standards Organization) compliance, SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority) registration, and Halal certification at the import side. A SABER certificate of conformity is required for customs clearance, registered by the importer's agent in Saudi Arabia. HAS Rice Pakistan holds Halal, ISO 22000, ISO 9001, HACCP, FDA, and GMP certifications, and provides all documentation needed to support SASO and SFDA registration.
Karachi to Jeddah or Dammam transit is 14-30 days depending on the shipping line and routing. Multiple weekly sailings are available with all major carriers.
Minimum order is 2 x 20' FCL (approximately 54 MT) for basmati varieties. For orders of 5 x 20' FCL or more, pre-shipment inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek is included at no extra cost.
We offer L/C at sight (irrevocable Letter of Credit) for first orders. For repeat buyers, we offer T/T with 30% advance and 70% against Bill of Lading copy. We do not offer CAD.
