Irremovable = not easily removed A sticker meeting the label markings of 60601-1 should be fine Peter

It appears (according to our shippers) that country of origin markings are now required on all items. See the extract below, taken from http://www.customs.gov.sa/customsnew/rules/sunitedrulesdetails_e.aspx <http://www.customs.gov.sa/customsnew/rules/sunitedrulesdetails_e.aspx> The unknowns here for me are in the bullet point dealing with Country of Origin markings on all items. Does anyone know what is meant by “Irremovable”? Labels complying with ‘60601-1’ are irremovable in terms of the Standard but would this be enough? (The shippers are indicating that riveted-on plates or engraving would be best) Also, would this apply to shipments of spare parts too? That wouldn’t seem practical to me. Chapter I Customs Declarations <http://www.custom .gov.sa/customsnew/rules/sItemDetail_E.aspx?chid=0&clid=5> General Requirements of Import : - The importer shall have a commercial registration in which the type of importer's activity matches the imported goods type. - Original invoice attested by the agency responsible for trade in the exporting country. - Certificate from the exporting country stating that the consignment is in conformity with the approved Saudi or international specifications. - Original certificate of origin legalized by the Chamber of Commerce in the exporting country. - Irremovable label showing the country of origin affixed on the commodity. - Foodstuff validity period together with ingredients should be labeled in Arabic in accordance with the Saudi or GCC specifications. - Register medical preparations at the Ministry of Health (especially medicaments and herbs).
