❔ Q1 What language do I need to use to list products on Amazon Saudi Arabia?
Amazon's Saudi site supports English or Arabic. If you upload listings in English, you can directly sync English listings from other sites to Saudi Arabia.
To be closer to Saudi consumers, Amazon recommends using Arabic. If you don't understand the local language, you can use the Building International Listing (Building International Listing) tool to sync your business information and prices from the source site to the target site, and resolve translation issues.

❔ Q2 What kind of logistics distribution methods does the Saudi station support?
Chinese sellers can choose to ship to Amazon's Saudi warehouse using Amazon Logistics (the process is the same as FBA in other countries), or to ship products via self-delivery.
❔ Q3 Do I need to register for Value Added Tax (VAT)?
According to UAE and Saudi law, if you are a non-UAE/Saudi resident, you are required to register for VAT if you sell products to UAE/Saudi customers through the Amazon FBA channel regardless of the amount of turnover. Amazon also has some information for you to refer to on the Seller Central help page, but it is important to emphasize that tax compliance is an obligation that sellers are responsible for themselves, so it is recommended that you consult a professional tax authority to make decisions.
