With the online shopping landscape in Saudi Arabia experiencing exponential growth, there’s never been a more opportune moment to expand your customer base. In this blog, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of opening an Amazon Seller Account in Saudi Arabia. From registration to product listing, fulfillment options, and effective strategies, we’ll equip you with everything you need know to tap into this thriving market and maximize your business potential.
Let’s get started!
Why Sell on Amazon KSA?
Launched in 2020, Amazon KSA offers a trusted platform with a vast selection, Prime benefits, and support for local businesses. This positions you perfectly to tap into a unique blend of advantages like:
- Thriving Market: Reach a massive pool of engaged online customers who caused a 77% surge in online shopping post-pandemic (per a Mastercard survey).
- No Language Barriers: Amazon KSA is available and offers support in both Arabic and English to help you attract a wider audience.
- Head Start: Benefit from the established user base of Souq.com, redirected to Amazon KSA, giving you a built-in audience.
- Customer Satisfaction: Meet customer expectations with next-day delivery as standard, plus same-day delivery in select areas.
- Global Reach, Local Start: Sell from anywhere! Just open an Amazon Seller Account in Saudi Arabia and leverage this thriving market!
Amazon KSA presents an unparalleled opportunity for global sellers like yourself to access a burgeoning customer base in Saudi Arabia. Without further ado, let’s discuss the intricacies of Amazon Saudi Arabia and explore the steps to start selling on this dynamic platform.
Getting Started on Amazon KSA
The registration process for opening an Amazon Seller Account in Saudi Arabia is a breeze. Head over to https://sellercentral.amazon.sa/ and follow the steps to create your seller account.
Choosing Your Selling Plan: Amazon KSA offers two main selling plans to cater to different business needs:
- Individual Plan: Ideal for sellers with a limited number of products (> 40 per month) and beginners. You pay a per-item fee ($0.99) for each product sold.
- Professional Selling Plan: A monthly subscription fee of $39.99, but currently there’s a limited-time offer where you can leverage the Professional Plan benefits for free.
This plan offers a wider range of features and benefits for established businesses with higher sales volume.
Taking advantage of the free Professional Plan trial is a strategic move, especially if you’re a new seller. It allows you to explore the advanced features and assess their impact on your business before committing to the monthly fee. Moreover, you can always switch between plans later as your business needs evolve.
Product Listing
So you’ve registered as a seller and chosen your plan – now it’s time to showcase your products! Creating effective product listings on Amazon KSA is crucial for attracting customers and driving sales. Here’s what you need to know:
The Listing Process:
- Product Details: Provide accurate and comprehensive information about your products, including their name, brand, category, condition, and key features.
- High-Quality Images: Images are a customer’s first impression – invest in professional-looking photos that showcase your products from multiple angles and in clear detail.
- Compelling Descriptions: Craft clear and informative product descriptions that highlight benefits, address customer needs, and include relevant keywords.
Optimizing for Success:
- Keyword Research: Use keyword research to find what customers search for and optimize your titles and descriptions for better ranking, attracting more organic traffic to your website.
- Consider a Partner: Solution providers such as CedCommerce’s Amazon Integration can streamline your listing management with time-saving features like bulk product uploads, automated inventory updates, and order synchronization across multiple marketplaces.
Bonus Tip: When looking for top-selling products on Amazon, don’t just copy the bestsellers – find a niche within your chosen category. By offering a unique variation, size, or color of a popular product, you can attract a specific audience while still benefiting from high search visibility.
As an Amazon KSA Seller, your product listings are your virtual storefront. By prioritizing product presentation, you’ll grab attention, inform customers, and ultimately drive sales. Tools like CedCommerce Integration can further enhance your efficiency and help you manage your listings seamlessly.
Fulfillment Options and Seller Fees
Now that your products are placed on digital shelves, it’s time to tackle fulfillment – the process of getting your products from storage to your customer’s doorstep. Amazon KSA offers flexible options to ensure smooth delivery, and a key player in this is Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia.
Benefits of Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia:
- Effortless Logistics: Send your products to the fulfillment centers, and let them handle storage, picking, packing, shipping, and fulfillment-related customer service inquiries.
- Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Thanks to Amazon’s extensive fulfillment network across Saudi Arabia, faster delivery times can significantly boost customer satisfaction.
- FBA New Selection Program: Enjoy free storage for eligible new products, for a limited time if you’re a new seller. Explore the benefits of FBA without upfront storage costs, and see if it’s the right one for your business.
Beyond Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia:
While Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia offers significant advantages, you also have alternative fulfillment options:
- Easy Ship: Utilize Amazon’s network for shipping while managing storage and packaging yourself.
- Self-Ship: Handle the entire fulfillment process yourself, from storage to shipping.
Choosing the Perfect Fit and FBA Fees: Consider factors like product size, storage space, sales volume, and budget. Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia does come with associated fees, which you can find through the FBA Fees Calculator on Amazon KSA.
If you value convenience and faster delivery times, Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia is a compelling choice. Conversely, if you prefer a more hands-on approach, Easy Ship or Self-Ship might be suitable alternatives. Explore what works best for you and leverage Amazon FBA Saudi Arabia to streamline your operations and enhance your customer experience.
Additionally, note that the cost to sell on Amazon depends on your selling plan, product category, fulfillment strategy, and other variables. The options are flexible, so you can find the combo that works best for you and your goals.
Considerations for the Saudi Arabian Market
While seller fees factor in your fulfillment strategy, maximizing your success as an Amazon Seller in KSA goes beyond cost calculations. It’s crucial to create a well-rounded strategy. Consider these additional factors:
- Cultural Nuances:During the holy month of Ramadan, customer buying habits shift. Consider offering faster delivery options (especially for same-day delivery if available in your area) as pre-iftar meals are a priority.
- Localized Payment Preferences: Offer widely used local payment method payment options in Saudi Arabia, and also major credit card networks. These options can lead to higher conversion rates at checkout.
- Regulations and Compliance:
1. Import/Export: Familiarize yourself with import/export regulations specific to Saudi Arabia. Resources like the Saudi Arabian General Authority for Customs can provide guidance.
2. VAT Compliance: Value Added Tax (VAT) is applicable in Saudi Arabia. Head to the Saudi Arabian General Tax Authority website to understand VAT requirements for eCommerce sellers.
By understanding these cultural considerations, payment preferences, and potential regulations, you can tailor your approach to resonate with Saudi Arabian customers and ensure a smooth selling experience.

Darylle
Hey,
I live in canada and want to sell on KSA amazon fba. That said, they require a business address in the kingdom in order to sign up.
Do you know if I can use a virtual office to get a saudi address?
Mohsin
Hey Darylle,
Yes, Indeed you can. As per the guidelines Amazon needs a verified or registered address of your company. So, If you manage to register your company with a virtual address in the kingdom, then amazon will surely accept it. There's also an alternative way to do so which is by partnering with any company in the kingdom and using their address.
I hope you got the answer you are looking for.
Have a nice day

Greetings,
Expats who are on resident visa (iqama) can sell items on individual seller account .if yes than what products they can sell? thank you
Mohsin
Hey Ishfaq,
For selling through an individual seller account on Amazon Saudi Arabia, you just need to have registered office address in the country, just as asked in Amazon Seller Central guidelines. Allowed countries are different for different Seller Central accounts. As far as products are concerned there are no such boundations. You can sell any type of physical product, you just need to specify the type of product while registering your brand.
Salam
dear Mohsin, I live n UAE and selling here without licesne but yes register home address is required here so likewise is the requirement in KSA also or what? plus tell me how the movement of goods will happen in this case if i wana sell to KSa market?
Mohsin
Hey Salam,
If I am right your concern is that whether you can have your Amazon Saudi Arabia account when you do not have a registered home address in Saudi or are not a native of the Saudi Kingdom.
Well, the answer is that YES you can.
And since you are already selling in amazon UAE marketplace then you just have to register for a global selling account. Once done you can begin with the selling process.
For more information you can refer this link : https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/G201468450?language=en_US&ref=ag_G201468450_cont_201101640

Mohsin
Hello there,
The thing is that if you are already selling in one amazon marketplace then you just have to register for a global selling account. Once done you can begin with the selling process.
For more information you can refer this link : https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/G201468450?language=en_US&ref=ag_G201468450_cont_201101640
Abrar
Hello Dear,
How many products are allowed to sell on monthly basis via KSA seller account. Some friends saying on the individual account we can sell 40 products/pieces only, is it true?
Please advise. Thanks
Mohsin
Hello Abrar,
No there is no such rule that forbids you to sell only 40 products.
Please share this information with your friend as well.
Abboud
Hello Amazon SA
I am interested in selling a coffee table book (500 copies), they are now in Riyadh. Should I keep them in my storage, or can I deliver them to Amazone Storage?
Thanks
Mohsin
Hello Abboud,
Well if you can ship your products from Riyadh yourself then you can keep products with you but if you are opting for FBA then you need to send the products to amazon SA Storage.
I hope you got the information.
Have a nice day
Ahmed
Hi Mohsin,
Thanks for sharing this details.
I have question here, If you create individual seller account with your Saudi Resident ID, would there be any legal issue?
Thanks.
Mohsin
Hello Ahmed,
No need to worry, if you will provide all the correct information to Amazon SA then there will be no legal issue.
Ali
Hi Mohsin,
I am a Pakistani and I am there in Saudia on Resident visa. Can I make my professional seller center on Resident ID(IQAMA) .
In fact I already have my individual account on my Resident ID, Can I transfer this individual account to professional account?
Mohsin
Hi Ali,
Yes, you can make your professional seller centre on your Resident ID. All you need to do is to upgrade your account from Individual to Professional. The process to do so is quite basic. Go through the following link to understand how to change your Amazon selling account from individual to professional:

Khalid
Hi Mohsin
Yesterday I have tried to register with individual seller account in Saudi Arabia
after provided full information they said you must provide bank statement or utility bill copy in order to complete your request
Khalid
Hi Mohsin
My question is that as expatriates I don't have any utility bill on my name
& about bank could you help me out how to get statement from bank as I have account with NCB quickpay
Regards.
Mohsin
Hi Khalid,
I understand your concern that you currently don't have any utility bill on your name or an issued bank statement. But as far as my knowledge i can think of 2 possible options:
First is you get in touch with the NCB quickpay helpline and undertand the process of bank statement issue in your name.
Here is the number
00966 9200 01000 for KSA resident
+966 11 476 1360 Outside KSA
Second option you have is to seek help from the Amazon Saudi Arabia Seller Helpline. Explain your whole concern and i am sure they'll guide you on how to proceed with your seller account setup. Here's the link for that
https://services.amazon.sa/content/contact-us.html
I am sure either of the two will eliminate your ongoing problem.
Have a nice day
Muhammad Irfan
Hi Mohsin
I am a Resident of Saudi Arabia and I have already opened the Individual seller central account.
Now my Question is that If I leave Saudi Arabia in future (Final Exit) so my seller central account will be suspend or not? What is the Permanent Salutation so that I can continue selling form my country?
Mohsin
Hello Irfan,
The answer to your query is that – you don't have to worry If your company is registered in SA and SA bank account which is attached to amazon is still working, then the account will NOT be suspended even after leaving the Saudi Arabia kingdom. In case your SA bank account linked to Amazon gets revoked then Amazon will get your seller account suspended.
abdullah shabbir
hello i am living in sadia arabic but i am from pakistani
so can i make amazone account
or i dont have any company
just i want to sell personal products
so its possible i can make amazone
or any legel problem or not
Mohsin
Hello Abdullah,
I can understand your concern that your want to confirm whether you can have your Amazon Saudi Arabia account to sell personal products and you are not a native of the Saudi Kingdom.
Well, the answer is that YES you can.
All you need to gather are these 3 things:
1- A registered business name
2- A certificate issued by Saudi government
3- and a bank account associated with your business
If you have all the above, you are good to go.
I hope you got your answer.

Mohammad
Hi,
If a person is living in KSA on Resident Iqama, and already doing a job, can you confirm please if that person can register as a professional seller and start selling on Amazon KSA? Are there any restrictions on becoming a seller while also doing another job?
Also, does the person also have to register VAT? Are there any benefits that KSA residents get compared to non-residents when selling on Amazon KSA?
Thank you.
Mohsin
Hi Mohammad,
Yes, you can register as a professional seller and start selling on Amazon KSA if you have the following things:
– a registered business name,
– an issued certificate by Saudi govt
– and a bank account for that business which will carry out transactions from amazon
Also regarding your query about VAT, If your products are shipped from outside of KSA, the recipient of the product may be required to pay, upon delivery, an amount related to assessed import VAT, and other import taxes or duties. Such taxes and duties are not collected by Amazon and are in addition to any sales proceeds.
I hope you got your answer.
Have a nice day
Muhammad Munzir
Hello Mohsin,
Its a wonderful and informative article you have written. I have couple of queries. I am already a registered seller on amazon UAE. I also managed to create seller account with amazon SA. But I am not able to map the same SKU's from amazon UAE to amazon SA. I am asked to create new listings. Is it something that I am doing wrong?
Second question is about the inventory. Where shall I keep my inventory for amazon to fulfill it in Saudi Arabia? Should I sent it to amazon warehouse in Saudi Arabia from UAE myself? Or amazon will collect my inventory from UAE in bulk and sent it to their KSA warehouse by themself?
Thanks
Mohsin
Hello Munzir,
I am glad you loved the article.
Regarding your query about selling the same products from Amazon UAE to Amazon SA – If you have created Global selling account then you can copy your UAE listing to SA. If you don't have a global account, then you can use an integration tool like Amazon Magento Integration which will help you manage the same listings on multiple marketplaces and multiple seller accounts.
Here's the link to the solution – https://cedcommerce.com/marketplace-integration/sell-on-amazon
Regarding your 2nd query of Where shall you keep the inventory for Amazon to fulfill it in Saudi Arabia and For sending products for FBA, you need to contact Amazon team, they will let you know that on which warehouse you can send your products.
I hope you got the answer you were looking for.
Have a nice day

You article is very good and informative.
My question is. I am from Pakistan and I want to Sell at At Amazon SA and UAE. Is it possible If I register my Company in Pakistan and use this company details and register Amazon SA Seller Professional account and start selling in SA?
Mohsin
Hello Noman,
Yes, it is possible to sell on Amazon SA and UAE with a registered my Company in Pakistan and using this company details. But you have to keep this in mind, If you want to sell in SA and UAE, you need to have a business address of those countries and a warehouse over there to ship your products.
For more details you can contact amazon support, they can help you with this.
I hope you got the answer you were looking for

hello syed,
Well, in your case there would be no such legal issues to sell on amazon KSA if you are satisfying the following 2 criterias:
1 – you have a registered business
2 – the bank account details that you provided are valid.
Opting to sell on Amazon KSA is really a wise move in order to increase sales and income.

Hey Jerika,
I am glad you found my blog helpful.
Coming to your query regarding the seller account
Q. You said to register a business here, do you also need it even if it's an individual act?
Ans – Yes it is necessary to have a registered business even in the case of an individual seller.
Q. Where to register business here?
Ans – You can register a branch of a company incorporated in one of the countries members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which are exempt from SAGIA licensing requirements, or simply sign an agency agreement with a local partner.

Mary
Hello, we're a company based in Turkey and I was wondering if we're able to sell on Amazon.sa
Could you please help me with that. I'd like to know what are the requirments?
Mohsin
Hey Mary,
Yes indeed, you can sell on Amazon.sa from Turkey. There are just a few things that you need to make sure before registering for the seller account. Here they are:
– Make sure that your business is legally registered under your proper business name (I am sure you have that covered already)
– An issued certificate by Saudi govt
– and lastly, a bank accounts for that business to carry out transactions from amazon.
These 3 things will do.
In case you wish to know more, feel free to comment.
Mary
Thank you Mohsin, you are amazing. Can I contact you for more info on how to get started selling on SA?
Mohsin
Thank you for the appreciation Mary, I am glad I could help.
Yes you can connect with me via email at mohdmohsinansari@cedcommerce.com
Sabiha
could you please mention the checklist to open a seller account with amazon.sa? I have only IQAMA. House(rental), utility bill, and bank account everything is my husband's name. Still, I don't have any bank account in KSA since I am simply a housewife. Is amazon.sa is asking for TIN no? Thanks in advance.
Mohsin
Hello Sahiba,
To answer your query, the checklist to open a seller account with amazon.sa mainly consists of 3 things:
1- A registered business name
2- A certificate issued by Saudi government
3- and a bank account associated with your business
The reply to your next query is that Yes, you can start selling on Amazon Saudi Arabia with your IQAMA.
The major issue in your case is that you don't have any bank account in KSA and that is one of the mandatory requirements to sell on the platform. amazon.sa will be asking for you TIN number during the registration process.
I believe you got your answer
feel free to comment in case you have additional queries.
Thanks and have a nice day
Mary
Thank you Mohsin I appreciate your help, you are amazing.
I have few more questions.
How can I get the certificate from Saudi government?
Does the bank account have to be a Saudi bank account?
Do I need an address in Saudi Arabia?
And can I contact you personally to know more about how to start selling on SA?
Thanks 🙂
Mohsin
Hello Mary,
I feel glad that you find my blog helpful.
Now coming to your queries,
Q. How can I get the certificate from the Saudi government?
Getting a certificate from Saudi Government is a multi-step process but I think this will help you:
https://www.my.gov.sa/wps/portal/snp/servicesDirectory/servicedetails/9761/!ut/p/z0/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfIjo8zivQIsTAwdDQz9LQwNzQwCnS0tXPwMvYwN3A30g1Pz9L30o_ArAppiVOTr7JuuH1WQWJKhm5mXlq8fYWluZqhfkO0eDgBKzeDd/
Q. Does the bank account have to be a Saudi bank account?
Yes, it must. The bank account you wish to link with your Amazon seller account must be a Saudi bank account.
Q. Do I need an address in Saudi Arabia?
Indeed you do. You need to own an address in the kingdom in order to sell on Amazon Saudi Arabia.
Hope you got your answers.
Arif Khan
Greetings of the day
Mohsin bro i want to start my eCommerce and dropship business can you guide me how much money required and how can i start
Mohsin
Hey Arif,
In order to start your eCommerce and dropship business from scratch, the estimated cost can be judged with the following criteria:
1. Creating a Website (including the domain, theme, and content) – The cost depends on how many features you wish to include in your website.
2. Buying the Dropship module – the cost rounds up to around $200 to $500 depending upon the marketplace from which you wish to dropship products from.
I have passed on your email to our support team who will soon get in touch with you to guide on how to start.
Have a nice day
Ash
Hi Mohsin,
I am on a student iqaamah which doesn't allow me to work in the Kingdom.
My business is registered in the UK, can I still register for a professional account for FBA?
Ash
Mohsin
Hi Ashraful,
As per the guidelines, a person can start selling on Amazon Saudi Arabia with IQAMA. But since in your case you are not allowed to work in the Kingdom, you can collaborate with a local seller in the Kingdom who can register as a professional seller on your behalf. You need to have the following things:
– a registered business name,
– an issued certificate by Saudi govt
– and a bank account for that business which will carry out transactions from amazon
If you can work out all the above, you can start selling on Amazon Saudi Arabia.
Bengie
Hi,
I'm planning to sign-up a seller's account in Amazon.ae as i am currently working in UAE, if then i will be moving to Saudi Arabia, do i still have to register another seller's account-Amazon.sa or i can use my seller's account Amazon.ae (which means i will be selling from Saudi Arabia with Amazon.ae's seller's account), also do i have to have a registered business name in Saudi before selling in Amazon.sa?
Mohsin
Hi Bengie,
Since you are already a registered seller on Amazon.ae you do not need to go through from scratch in the case of Amazon.sa.
In the words of Amazon –
By signing up as a seller in the Amazon in the Middle East if you have chosen to sell in UAE you get access to sell in both territories. Meaning you can not only sell in the constitutional federation of seven emirates consisting of Abu Dhabi Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain but can also sell in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia without additional hassles.
KASHIR KASHMIRI
helo bro !
i hope you will be fine.Brother i have create seller account on amazon and i am also doing job in sharma neom city. Here amazon shipping is difficult and no one amazon warehouse present.so what is solution of this problem.
kind regards
Mohsin
Hello Kashir,
Well, I can understand the pain you are facing since the unavailability of an amazon warehouse in your region. Looking at your current scenario there's only one feasible option that comes to my mind that can help you ease up the ongoing hassles. Instead of seeking for FBA try opting the FBM service and hire a 3rd party shipping service based on your region. You can opt for services like Dokan, Shipstation, 71Lbs, etc and get this situation sorted. The charges for shipping are usually the same (or similar) which means you won't feel any additional financial burden as well.
Have a nice day
Elba
Hi Mohsin,
Amazon has been approved my professional account seller here in Saudi with my Iqama ,Saudi bank statement and my registered address but you mentioned about certificate from Saudi government and registered business before I can sell?
Please I need clarification.
Mohsin
Hello Elba,
Congratulations on getting your Amazon account approved. Well, once you have an approved seller account you are good to start selling on Amazon Saudi Arabia without any further restrictions. The mentioned criteria for the certificate from the Saudi government is a way for Amazon to confirm whether the seller is fit to sell in the region. Since you have the approved seller account, you don't need to worry about that.
I wish you good luck with your selling campaign on Amazon.
Elba
Hi Mohsin,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Good day!
shabbir`
Hi Mohsin,
Please advise where I can get the product approved from Amazon and will match the product code.

Shabbir
Mohsin
Hi Shabbir,
There are two cases here. In order to get answer your question correctly, can you please specify whether you wish barcode exemption permission to upload Products on amazon without using a barcode?
Mohamed Fawzy
Hi Mohsin,
I have a free zone company and seller account on AMAZON UAE and I have a seller account on AMAZON KSA but my company is based in UAE. My question is if I sell globally my products from UAE FBA to KSA do I need to register for VAT in KSA also?
Mohsin
Hi Fawzy,
In order to sell on Amazon KSA you have to submit your active VAT registration number in the Settings section of Your Account.
For that follow these steps:
-> Go to Manage VAT Registration page.
-> Sign in with your email address and password, if needed.
-> Follow the onscreen instructions.
If your products are shipped from outside of KSA, the recipient of the product may be required to pay, upon delivery, an amount related to assessed import VAT, and other import taxes or duties.
I hope you got your answer.
Thanks
Asif

First of all thanks for reading our blog.
Now coming to your 2 questions:
First, you have created a seller account on Amazon as an individual, What is the process for FBA, do you need to create an account in the amazon fulfillment center to store my product?
Well the answer to this is quite simple – No you do not need to create any new account for that. The account will be the same , i.e seller account. To understand the FBA process in detail please visit this blog of mine which will tell you in details – https://cedcommerce.com/blog/guide-to-amazon-fba-vs-fbm/
Coming to your 2nd question – Is this possible to buy products from AliBaba and sell on Amazon SA if yes, then how the customs will clear? if I order any product from china (any document required)
yes it is possible. All you need to do is to order products from Alibaba and maintain their inventory in your warehouse and in your Magento store. Rest with our Amazon Integration solution you would be able to sync complete details from Magento over on Amazon and process the orders accordingly.
I have forwarded your query to our support team and they will connect with you soon and get that resolved soon.
Thanks and have a nice way.

Hi Sir,
I am an expat doing job in a company and want to do business in KSA as well.
Can we do business on amazon with my job without any legal problem?

Mohsin
If you work as an expat in Saudi Arabia and your profession restricts you from working on Amazon, it's important to consider the legal and regulatory requirements in a country especially like Saudi Arabia. I would highly recommended to consult with a legal professional or local authorities who have expertise in Saudi Arabian regulations to ensure compliance and to address any concerns or restrictions that may apply to your situation.
Remember, legal compliance and adherence to regulations are crucial when conducting any business activities, including selling on Amazon. Seeking proper guidance will help you navigate the process smoothly and ensure that you operate within the legal framework of your profession and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
I hope you got the answer your are looking for.
Feel free to comment if you have any more questions.

Yes, you can start a business in Saudi Arabia with a valid Iqama. You'll need a business Iqama, a registered business name, a certificate from the Saudi government, and a bank account for your business transactions. Once you have these, you can sell on Amazon Saudi Arabia. Regarding VAT, you may need to register for it depending on your business's turnover, and it's advisable to consult a local expert for specific guidance.
