What decides your led & lighting landed cost
Saudi Arabia applies the GCC Common External Tariff — a 5% base customs duty on CIF — but a 2020 tariff reform raised many finished consumer goods, and finished furniture now attracts roughly 10–15% rather than 5%. Duty is charged on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight), not the factory invoice. With finished-furniture duty at 10–15% and 15% VAT stacked on CIF-plus-duty, the effective import tax on a furniture consignment runs to roughly 30% of CIF — the heaviest in the Gulf, which is exactly why the classification and the SABER certificate have to be right.
Freight is the other half of the number
LED & Lighting from China ships to Jeddah Islamic Port in 18–28 days by sea (3–6 days by air). For bulky categories like this, freight per CBM is often a bigger line than the duty itself — which is exactly why consolidation matters.
