Industry Ministry Processes 1,026 Customs Exemption Requests in November

 The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources processed 1,026 applications for industrial customs exemptions in November 2025 as part of its efforts to support local industry and enhance its global competitiveness.
 To achieve this, the ministry is working to exempt national industrial facilities from customs duties on imported production inputs.
 The ministry’s official spokesperson Jarrah Al-Jarrah said the processed applications covered 5,949 items of raw materials and 16,066 items of machinery, equipment, and spare parts.
 The industrial customs exemption service is part of a broad package of incentives, enablers, and services offered by the Kingdom’s industry and mining ecosystem, Al-Jarrah noted. These initiatives aim to facilitate the industrial investor’s journey at all stages of a project, from the initial idea through empowerment, production, and export.
 The industrial customs exemption service aligns with the objectives of the National Industrial Strategy by enabling and developing the Saudi industrial sector, the spokesperson said. It underscores the ministry’s key role in stimulating and accelerating the growth of the national industrial base.
 Al-Jarrah said industrial facilities can obtain customs exemption approvals within a short timeframe through streamlined procedures available via the ministry’s digital services platform, Senaei Platform.
