The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources processed 898 requests for industrial customs exemption service during July 2025, as part of the ministry's efforts to encourage local industry and enhance its global competitiveness by granting national industrial facilities exemptions from customs duties on their imports of industrial inputs.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, Jirrah bin Mohammed Al-Jirrah, explained that the customs exemption requests processed by the ministry include 4,641 items for raw materials and 9,752 items for machinery, equipment, and spare parts. He pointed out that the customs exemption service is part of a package of incentives, enablers, and services provided by the industrial and mining system to facilitate the journey of industrial investors at all stages of their projects from the idea to empowerment, production, and export.

He noted that the industrial customs exemption service aligns with the objectives of the National Industrial Strategy, which aims to empower and develop the Saudi industrial sector, and emphasizes the prominent role played by the ministry in stimulating and accelerating the growth of the national industrial base. He indicated that obtaining the customs exemption service for industrial facilities is done in a short time through streamlined procedures via the digital platform for the services of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, "Sina'i".

The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources is keen, through the customs exemption service, to support and encourage local factories, develop national production sectors within them, reduce production costs, and create new industrial opportunities. The service enables licensed industrial facilities to obtain customs exemption from the tax ("customs duties") on their imports of machinery, equipment, spare parts, raw materials, semi-finished materials, and packaging materials necessary directly for production.
