SFDA License

Obtain a product or facility license from the Saudi Food & Drug Authority.

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority regulates establishments and products related to food, medicines, medical devices and cosmetics, such as factories, warehouses and import and distribution businesses, plus registration of certain products before sale. Each activity has its own licence and technical requirements, and choosing the wrong licence type or missing site requirements can delay the request considerably. At Tasami we review your activity and products, identify the licence or registration needed, prepare the requirements list with you and follow the request on SFDA e-systems until a decision is issued.
