Products with cameras cannot be exported to Saudi?

21 Aug, 2025

Why can products with cameras not be exported to Saudi? Saudi is a country rich in oil resources, with rapid economic development and continuously improving living standards. With technological advancements, products equipped with cameras, such as smartphones, computers, and tablets, have become essential tools in daily life. These products meet people's everyday needs and are highly popular in Saudi.

The main reasons are as follows:

Saudi Arabia is a religiously conservative country that places great importance on privacy and moral issues. There are concerns that products with cameras could be misused to violate others' privacy or even engage in illegal activities. To protect people's privacy and maintain social stability, the Saudi government has decided to restrict the import and use of such products.

Saudi Arabia faces significant security challenges. There are concerns that products with cameras could be hacked, posing a threat to national security. To prevent such scenarios, the Saudi government has implemented restrictions, including banning the export of these products.

The prohibition on exporting products with cameras to Saudi Arabia is primarily driven by privacy and security considerations. As a logistics expert, I would like to remind everyone to respect local customs in Saudi Arabia. Avoid taking photos casually, especially of people and buildings of religious significance, as photography is prohibited in related venues, and signs indicating this are clearly displayed. In Saudi Arabia, it is not permitted to photograph locals in public without their consent, particularly women. Otherwise, religious police may intervene, delete the footage, or even expose the film. In severe cases, violators could face legal sanctions under the country's laws.
