If you are a manufacturer, importer, or distributor looking to tap into the Saudi Arabian market, product registration in Saudi Arabia is your first critical step. At J K Management Consultancies, we specialize in guiding businesses through the regulatory landscape of Saudi Arabia, especially with the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) the key body overseeing product safety and compliance.
What is Product Registration in Saudi Arabia?
Product registration in Saudi Arabia is a legal requirement for any company planning to sell food, cosmetics, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or other regulated products in the Kingdom. It ensures that products meet local safety, quality, and labeling standards, protecting both consumers and brand reputations.
The SFDA (Saudi Food & Drug Authority) is the primary regulatory authority, and all products in regulated categories must be registered through their official platforms.
Categories Requiring SFDA Product Registration:
- Food & Beverages
- Cosmetics & Personal Care Products
- Medical Devices & Equipment
- Drugs & Pharmaceuticals
- Supplements & Herbal Products
Whether you’re dealing with a multinational healthcare brand or a local cosmetics company, SFDA registration is non-negotiable.
SFDA Product Registration Process – Step-by-Step
At J K Management Consultancies, we simplify the entire registration process. Here’s how it works:
1. Company Registration on SFDA Portal
Register your local or foreign entity on SFDA’s electronic systems like SADAD, GHAD, or DER (depending on product category).
2. Appoint a Local Authorized Representative (LAR)
For foreign companies, you must appoint a Saudi-based LAR to act on your behalf.
3. Document Preparation
Includes product labels, ingredients, safety assessments, test reports, Free Sale Certificates, and more.
4. Online Submission & Fee Payment
Submit the required documents via SFDA’s online portal and pay the applicable fees.
5. Technical Review & Approvals
SFDA reviews product documentation, labels, and testing results. This can take a few weeks to months depending on category.
6. Certificate Issuance
Upon approval, you’ll receive the Product Registration Certificate, which allows importation, marketing, and sales in Saudi Arabia.
