RIYADH: The number of trucks and vehicles entering and exiting through Saudi customs ports jumped to 4.7 million in 2025, recording annual growth of 24 percent compared with 2024, according to the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority in statements to Al Eqtisadiah.
Specialists in the logistics services sector attributed the increase to transformation in the field, starting with raising the efficiency of ports, speeding up procedures, and adopting unified platforms to facilitate processes for importers and exporters.
The authority reported that the total number of trucks and vehicles that crossed Saudi customs ports over the past three years exceeded 11.8 million trucks and vehicles, with an annual average of 4 million, of which 6.3 million were incoming vehicles and 5.5 million were outgoing.
Five ports recorded the largest share of truck and vehicle traffic: Al Batha, Al Haditha, King Fahd Causeway, Al Khafji, and Salwa, which are all considered key arteries for interregional and regional trade movement.
The authority indicated that customs ports completed procedures last year for 2.6 million trucks and vehicles arriving in Saudi Arabia, in addition to 2.1 million trucks and vehicles departing, reflecting the efficiency of procedures and the speed of completing customs operations.
