Saudi Arabia’s National Agricultural Services Company (NADEC) has launched an online service for obtaining food import permits, aimed at simplifying import procedures and improving access to digital services for food sector stakeholders.
The new platform enables users to submit food import permit applications electronically for a range of products, including poultry meat and its products, aquatic animal products of animal origin, and table eggs and their derivatives.
The service is designed to ensure that imported food products meet approved health and technical requirements before entering the Kingdom. By moving the permit application process online, the initiative is expected to improve operational efficiency, reduce administrative procedures and provide a more streamlined user experience for importers.
The launch forms part of ongoing efforts to expand digital services and simplify regulatory procedures related to food imports in Saudi Arabia.
The online system provides a centralised mechanism for submitting import requests and facilitates application processing while supporting compliance with applicable food safety and technical standards.
