Full Details

Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Codeine (Medication) is generally prohibited from postal / courier import into Saudi Arabia under the customs authority's published parcel-prohibition list. Postal items found in transit are typically seized at the destination international mail centre and the addressee may be issued a notice of seizure; depending on quantity and product class, additional administrative or criminal liability may apply. Mailers should consult Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) before dispatch.
