About this Section

Section S of the SSIC covers other service activities — a residual section that brings together services not classified elsewhere in the classifier. It includes activities of membership organisations such as business and employers’ organisations, professional bodies, trade unions, religious, political and other associations including charities and civic organisations. The section also covers repair of computers, communication equipment and personal and household goods such as consumer electronics, watches, jewellery, footwear, leather goods, furniture and home appliances. Finally, it groups personal service activities such as washing and dry-cleaning, hairdressing and barber shops, beauty salons, funeral and related activities, physical well-being services like fitness coaching delivered outside sports facilities, and other personal services not elsewhere classified.

For Saudi operators these codes are linked to licences issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development for non-profit associations, MOMRAH for personal service outlets, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority for cosmetics-related services, and the National Center for Non-profit Sector. The selected SSIC code defines licensing requirements, VAT treatment, Saudisation rules and reporting to GASTAT.

This page lists 3 divisions of Section S with English and Arabic titles, the official numeric codes from the GASTAT January 2025 edition, and links to related HS customs tariff items for spare parts and equipment used in repair and personal services.
