About this Section

Section H of the SSIC covers transportation and storage activities — the movement of passengers and freight by all means and the services that support such movement. It includes land transport via road and railway, freight transport by trucks and tankers, urban and suburban passenger transport, taxi and ride-hailing services, transport of crude oil, gas and other commodities through pipelines, water transport across seas and inland waterways, and air transport for both passengers and cargo on scheduled and non-scheduled flights. The section also brings together warehousing and storage of goods in cold stores, bonded warehouses, silos and tank farms, together with cargo handling, freight forwarding, customs clearance and other support activities for transportation, as well as postal and courier activities.

For operators in the Kingdom, the codes of Section H are tied to licences issued by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), the Transport General Authority (TGA), the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), the Saudi Post (SPL) framework and the Saudi Logistics Hub strategy. The selected SSIC code defines safety and operational requirements, customs treatment of vehicles, vessels, aircraft and warehouse equipment, VAT on logistics services, and reporting to GASTAT in line with Vision 2030 logistics targets.

This page lists 5 divisions of Section H in English and Arabic with the official codes from the January 2025 edition of the SSIC and links to the relevant HS customs tariff items.
