About this Section

Section G of the SSIC covers wholesale and retail trade, together with the repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles. It is the broadest commercial section of the classifier and groups three large blocks: the sale, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and their parts and accessories, including tyres, batteries and lubricants; wholesale trade in agricultural raw materials, food and beverages, household goods, machinery, equipment and other commodities, whether on own account or on a fee or contract basis; and retail trade through specialised and non-specialised stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, kiosks, markets and via mail order, internet, vending machines or door-to-door selling.

For Saudi entrepreneurs, the codes of Section G are essential when applying for a commercial registration at the Ministry of Commerce, when registering on Maroof, and when activating an e-commerce store under the E-Commerce Law. The selected four-digit SSIC code determines VAT treatment, the requirement to use the Fatoora e-invoicing system administered by ZATCA, the eligibility for the Saudi Business Center’s 360 services, and the customs duties applied at import. It also affects Saudisation quotas in retail outlets and the listing of goods within MOMRAH and SFDA registers where applicable.

The page lists 3 divisions of Section G with English and Arabic titles, the official codes from the January 2025 edition of the SSIC, and links to the corresponding HS customs tariff entries.
