About this Section

Section N of the SSIC covers administrative and support service activities — outsourced services that support the day-to-day operation of businesses and public bodies. It includes rental and leasing of motor vehicles, machinery, equipment and personal goods; intellectual property leasing; employment services such as recruitment agencies, executive search, temporary staffing and human resources outsourcing; travel agencies, tour operators and other reservation and tourism support services; security and investigation activities, including private security guards, armoured vehicles and monitoring of alarm systems; services to buildings and landscape activities such as cleaning, pest control, gardening and facilities management; office administrative services, call centres, business support services, document preparation, debt collection, packaging and convention organising.

For Saudi operators these codes are tied to licences and platforms managed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, MUSANED for domestic recruitment, the Ministry of Tourism for travel agencies, the High Commission for Industrial Security, and MOMRAH for cleaning and facilities companies. The chosen SSIC code influences Saudisation rates under Nitaqat, eligibility for outsourcing contracts in the public sector via Etimad, VAT treatment of services, and reporting to GASTAT.

This page lists 6 divisions of Section N with English and Arabic titles, the official numeric codes from the GASTAT January 2025 edition, and links to relevant HS customs tariff items for equipment used in support services.
