Saudi DDP, How long does it usually take to clear customs in Saudi?
Generally, customs clearance in Saudi Arabia takes about 3 to 5 days. After a package arrives at customs, the declaration list for the items needs to be approved, and identity verification is required for personal shipments. Each package will undergo X-ray inspection, and some packages may be opened for further examination. Finally, once the package is confirmed to be compliant, it will be released for delivery.
However, if customs has any questions regarding the goods and requires assistance from the recipient for clearance, the goods may be held by customs for an extended period. In such cases, payment of duties may be required before the goods can be released. If the goods cannot be cleared smoothly, they may be returned to the sender or destroyed.
