Commercial consistency
Confirm exporter, importer, description, HS code, origin, invoice value, quantity, packages and gross/net weights across the invoice, packing list and certificates.
HANNO FIELD GUIDE / 01UAE–SAUDI ROAD FREIGHT
A shipment is not ready because the truck is booked.
It is ready when the commercial file, Saudi product requirements, customs information, crossing permit, carrier, vehicle and driver agree—and every unresolved action has an owner.
Audit one shipment workflow ↗The pre-dispatch readiness checklist
Saudi product readiness
Confirm the importer and product are correctly represented in the applicable Saudi conformity or regulator workflow. Regulated products may require PCoC plus a Shipment Certificate; other products require self-declaration plus a Shipment Certificate.
Pre-arrival filing
ZATCA instructs the importer or broker to submit import data and documents through FASAH at least 48 hours before arrival.
UAE exit and crossing
Confirm the UAE declaration, MAKASA/statistical treatment where applicable, and the Abu Dhabi Truck Crossing Permit for Ghuwaifat are linked to the planned movement.
Carrier and driver
Validate the assigned vehicle, registration, insurance, driver identity and professional documents before dispatch.
Operational ownership
Name who owns each open item, the evidence required, the deadline and the action if it remains unresolved.
What Hanno contributes
Hanno assembles evidence from email, WhatsApp, documents, spreadsheets and calls; reconciles the shipment record; applies the approved corridor checklist; pursues missing inputs; and prepares decisions for the responsible operator. It does not replace the TMS, customs portal, importer or licensed broker.
