Prohibition of older trucks entering Saudi Arabia

08 Apr 2021 / Bahrain

From Saturday 10 April onwards, Bahrain Customs will no longer issue Exit Notes for shipments carried across the border with Saudi Arabia by trucks that are 20 or more years old (i.e. manufactured in or before 2001).

This is in line with a new rule advised in Saudi Customs Circular No.184-42-081199 stating that trucks 20+ years old may not enter Saudi Arabia after the effective date.
