Indian Coffee Supplier Saudi Arabia
Source Indian coffee for Saudi buyers
LIT COFFEE supplies Indian coffee for commercial buyers looking for green Arabica, Robusta and other bulk coffee formats. Saudi importers can request coffee specifications, available quantities, packaging and a shipping quotation based on their requirements.
The import process involves more than selecting an origin. Buyers should confirm the applicable HS classification, Saudi food-import requirements, product registration, customs documentation, labeling or claim requirements and shipping terms before a commercial shipment.
Saudi Food Import Requirements
Understand SFDA requirements before shipment
Saudi Arabia regulates commercial food imports through the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Current SFDA guidance covers importer and food-product registration, clearance requirements and supporting documents. The exact requirements depend on the product, importer and applicable food standards.
Importer registration
SFDA guidance requires commercial food importers to meet the applicable establishment registration requirements.
Product registration
Food products and materials can be subject to registration requirements through the applicable SFDA system.
Clearance documents
Commercial food consignments require the official documents and certificates applicable to the product and shipment.
Food standards
Imported food must comply with applicable Saudi food laws, technical regulations and approved standards.
Halal claims
If a halal logo or claim is used, supporting proof for the validity of that claim may be required.
Exact pathway
The Saudi importer should verify current requirements with SFDA before shipment rather than relying on a generic checklist.
HS 0901 · Saudi Customs
Coffee tariff classification in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia uses the GCC Integrated Customs Tariff. ZATCA provides an official tariff-search service where importers can search by HS code, description, chapter or section.
Primary HS heading
0901
Coffee, whether or not roasted or decaffeinated; coffee husks and skins; coffee substitutes containing coffee.
The final customs classification and applicable duty should be verified in ZATCA's current integrated tariff using the exact product description and tariff line. Avoid relying on a generic “coffee duty” figure when preparing a commercial quotation.
