Saudi ZATCA Customs Regulations & National Address Requirement
Saudi Arabia strictly enforces statutory import restrictions via the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA):
- Mandatory National Address: Senders must write the recipient’s registered Saudi National Address (العنوان الوطني)—consisting of a 4-digit Building Number, Street Name, District, and 5-digit Postal Code—along with an active Saudi mobile number (+966). Without this, packages may face return to sender (RTO).
- Strictly Prohibited Goods: Alcohol, pork products, narcotics, e-cigarettes/vaping liquids, laser pointers, military uniforms, and religious literature conflicting with local Islamic law are strictly prohibited and confiscated.
- Import VAT (15% Standard Rate): Commercial shipments and gifts with declared values exceeding SAR 1,000 are subject to 15% standard Value Added Tax (VAT) and customs clearance handling fees.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I track my India Post parcel on the SPL (Saudi Post) website?
Possibly. SPL may display destination-side events after handover and registration, but acceptance of an India Post tracking number and the events shown depend on the service. If the number is not recognized, continue checking India Post and contact the postal operator with your receipt details.
2. How long does Speed Post take from India to Saudi Arabia?
International EMS delivers to major metropolitan centers (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar) within 5 to 8 business days, while regional provinces may take 8 to 11 days.
3. Can I send prescription medicines to Saudi Arabia?
Yes, but medicines require an official English doctor’s prescription, detailed medical diagnosis, and original sealed manufacturer packaging. Controlled psychiatric medications require advance approval from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA).

Important: destination scans, customs and delivery time
The airport route, handling locations and day ranges shown above are illustrative only; they are not confirmed India Post route data or a delivery guarantee. Customs decisions and import taxes depend on the actual item, declared value, current Saudi rules and the competent authorities. Do not rely on a fixed SAR threshold or assume every medicine can be imported with only a prescription.
Check SPL official services, ZATCA customs and tax information and, for medicines, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. Destination tracking availability is not guaranteed for every service.
Official destination-country tracking
After handover to the destination postal network, a scan may also appear on the local operator’s official service: Saudi Post (SPL) — official tracking / website.
Tracking visibility depends on the mail product and data exchange. A missing local scan does not by itself prove loss or customs detention. Also check India Post Track & Trace.
