Ministry of Industry issues 58,000 certificates of origin in September 2026

The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources announced the issuance of 58,000 certificates of origin in September 2026, as part of its efforts to support and streamline procedures for exporters across various sectors, including industry, commerce, and individuals.

The ministry explained that a certificate of origin is an official document confirming that exported products are of national origin or have acquired national origin status. The service targets industrial establishments, commercial companies and institutions, as well as individuals such as farmers, fishermen, local artisans, and others engaged in individual activities.

The ministry noted that there are four main types of certificates: a certificate of origin for national products exported to Gulf Cooperation Council countries; a certificate for national products exported to Arab countries; a preferential certificate (the unified model for GCC countries when exporting to nations and economic blocs with which Saudi Arabia has free trade agreements); and a bilingual Arabic-English certificate for countries that do not grant preferential treatment (the general model).

Beneficiaries can apply for a certificate of origin through the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources' official website.
