Delays may occasionally happen due to customs or logistics, but generally, orders arrive on time.

Customs Duties and Taxes

As we mentioned earlier — all duties and taxes are already included in the total order cost you see on the website.

  • VAT (15%) is already factored into each item’s price. You won’t see it as a separate charge — items just appear slightly more expensive.
  • Import duties and other fees are calculated and paid upfront to iHerb. There’s no extra charge on delivery.
  • You’ll see a separate VAT line in your cart — this is the internal tax. For our SAR 439.33 order, VAT came to SAR 17.25 (around 3.9%).

You pay everything at checkout — there’s nothing to pay upon delivery.

One note: if your order is very close to customs value limits, fluctuations in the exchange rate might technically result in an extra charge — but this is rare.

What and How Much You Can Order from iHerb to Saudi Arabia

Here are the simple rules to keep in mind before ordering:

  • Vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter medications: You can order up to a three-month supply of the same product for personal use. Reselling iHerb products is not allowed.
  • Cosmetics and non-food items: You can include no more than 20 different non-food items in a single order.
  • Items strictly prohibited from import (iHerb usually blocks these, but it’s good to know):
    • Nutmeg
    • Poppy seeds
    • Any product containing alcohol
    • Pork products

We always recommend checking the official Saudi customs website for the most up-to-date information, especially if you’re ordering something unusual.
