Saudi Arabia:
RIYADH
— The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority has announced updated controls for
exempting returned goods from customs duties. These updates clarify the
requirements for exempting returned goods and streamline customs procedures
for goods temporarily exported for manufacturing or repairs abroad.
The new controls introduce the possibility of exemption before the goods
leave the customs office, aiming to simplify exemption processes and address
challenges customers may face regarding goods temporarily exported for
manufacturing or repairs.
According to the updates, value restrictions for returned goods are
canceled, allowing exemption requests for all returned goods regardless of
their value, in accordance with the provisions of the Common Customs Law and
Rules of Implementation.
