Saudi Arabia Lowers Tariff Barriers, Creating New Opportunities for Manufacturing Exports
Saudi Arabia has introduced a new service to reduce export costs, granting tariff exemptions to eligible industrial enterprises, aiming to promote non-oil exports and strengthen industrial capabilities—a key step toward a post-oil era. The initiative covers a wide range of sectors, and enterprises can apply through an online platform to enjoy tariff reductions or exemptions, enhancing product competitiveness and achieving diversified and sustainable economic growth. This policy also creates opportunities for expanding Saudi Arabias domestic industrial system, attracting foreign technology and capital, and improving its international trade standing. Market participants must closely monitor implementation details to seize opportunities and mitigate risks.
