Abstract : This study examines Saudi Arabia’s transition toward a paperless, fully digital logistics ecosystem under Vision 2030, focusing on sea freight for fashion retail. The paper evaluates the roles of SASO, SABER, and FASAH in digitizing certification, documentation, and customs clearance processes. Findings indicate that automation, pre-arrival declaration submission, and integrated platforms significantly reduce clearance time, processing costs, and operational errors. The paper provides an end-to-end process overview and demonstrates how digital logistics infrastructure enhances supply-chain efficiency.
