Hi Fellow Expats,
If I get a shipment worth US$600.00 from US to Saudi do I have to pay customs? Its electronics. If yes what percentage.
Thank you in advance.

I heard it's 5% VAT and any storage fees if they stay in customs for a few days - they might have a daily rate. I'm still trying to find this out.
