Proceeding from our role in Vision 2030 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Customs vision aims to support the Kingdom in building a prosperous economy that utilizes its strategic geographic position, increases the volume of international trade between Asia, Europe and Africa, and maximizes gains from trade. The Kingdom’s logistic location and proximity to energy sources are the incentive toward a new beginning of manufacturing, and export and re-export to all countries around the world.
Over the past few years, Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in the construction of ports, railways, roads and airports. To take full advantage of these investments, Customs plan to work with the private sector to improve and link our infrastructure locally and internationally. They also plan to realize more profit through higher performance, more rigorous governance, leaner processes, and a more efficient customs system. They will improve existing laws and regulations to enable and encourage air, maritime, and other transport operators to make the most of their capacity and achieve durable links between existing trade hubs, as well as opening new trade routes. This will reinforce our position as a distinctive logistical gateway to the three continents through implementing initiatives for the National Transformation Program (NTP) where Customs contribute to the realization of several of them.
