Nitin Tatiwala, Vice President of Marketing, Customer Experience, and Air Network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa stated that, “As Saudi Arabia strengthens its position as a leading global trade hub, the ability to move imports efficiently and compliantly has become a key competitive advantage. FiT demonstrates how digital intelligence can help businesses navigate import requirements with certainty, improved visibility, and seamless customs clearance, supporting the Kingdom’s trade facilitation and economic diversification objectives.”
According to Saudi Customs data, merchandise imports rose 4 percent year-on-year in October 2025, reaching $21.63 billion (SAR 80.1 billion), with China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates ranking as the top three source markets.
As import activity diversifies across industrial, healthcare, and consumer sectors, businesses are navigating increasing shipment volumes alongside stricter regulatory and documentation requirements.
The introduction of FiT in Saudi Arabia reinforces FedEx’s expanded local operations, including direct management of pickup, delivery, and customs clearance.
The platform aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, enabling more efficient, transparent, and compliant import processes as trade volumes continue to grow.
