SABER Certificate forFootwear & Shoes
Saudi certification support for footwear & shoes and related products.
Everyday footwear is treated differently from safety footwear. We check the shoe type, materials, labelling and any protective claim, along with your HS classification, then guide you through the SABER application for your Saudi shipment.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 6403
Footwear with leather uppers. Rubber or plastic footwear falls under 6402, textile footwear under 6404 and safety footwear separately. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Footwear versus safety footwear, and labelling. Exact rules are confirmed per product.
Candidate review point, not a declaration that this route applies. Confirmed against the current regulation and model scope before anything is claimed.
Product
Everyday footwear, kept separate from safety footwear
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Footwear & Shoes
Casual shoes
Everyday shoes made of fabric, synthetic or mixed materials. Upper and sole materials and labelling are reviewed.
Leather shoes
Dress and formal shoes with leather uppers. Leather claims, sole material and marking are checked.
Sports shoes
Trainers and sports footwear. Material composition, sole construction and any performance claim are looked at.
Slippers
Indoor and house slippers. Sole and upper materials, size marking and how the product is labelled are reviewed.
Sandals
Open footwear for warm weather. Strap and sole materials and how the product is labelled are checked.
Children's shoes
Footwear for children. Materials, size marking and any child-related claims get closer attention during the review.
Each type is confirmed on its own classification and evidence. Which of them a single certificate can cover depends on how closely the constructions and test reports match.
Documents Required
- Product Details, Model List & Datasheet
- Manufacturer Details
- Test Reports(No report? We can arrange testing.)
- Commercial Invoice(shipment stage)
- Packing List(shipment stage)
The core set. For footwear the file also turns on upper and sole materials, labelling, the intended wearer and any safety or protective claim. Which further documents apply varies with the confirmed classification and the model scope, so the full list is issued per file rather than per category.
Sample Certificate
Illustrative layout only — not an issued certificate, and not a reproduction of one. Certificates are issued by approved conformity assessment bodies, not by BenzilaCert.
Application Examples
Typical files in this product family and the support they call for. Illustrative scenarios, not completed engagements.
- Example 01
Casual shoe range
An exporter ships casual shoes in many sizes and colours. Which models can share reports, and whether any safety claim exists, is checked first.
- Example 02
Shoes and safety boots together
An importer brings sandals and steel-toe boots on one invoice. The safety boots are separated from everyday footwear before the route is set.
