A UAE-licensed company with food trading activity files the product online with Dubai Municipality, with the recipe and ingredient details, lab results, label artwork and producer information, after the product is made under a HACCP-based food safety system and labelled in Arabic and English to GSO 9. We run the whole sequence — screen, HACCP file, label review, filing and authority questions — for AED 12,000 per product.
Our UAE registration package is AED 12,000 per product, excluding VAT. It covers Dubai Municipality registration, HACCP documentation and label review. Government fees, laboratory testing and logistics are separate and charged at cost. If you also need artwork, packaging design starts from AED 8,000 per SKU; Saudi SFDA registration starts from AED 18,000 per product.
Yes. The registration must be filed by a company holding a UAE trade licence that covers food trading. That can be your own UAE company — 100% foreign ownership is possible for most trading activities — or a partner acting as importer of record. We help you choose the route on the strategy call and build the filing around it.
An imported beverage is registered the same way, by the UAE-licensed importer: product details, lab results, producer information and a label that meets GCC rules in Arabic and English. Many imported labels fail on Arabic text, missing mandatory items or claims, so we review the label before shipment. Some brands decide to produce locally instead — see co-packing in the UAE.
Typically: the trade licence of the filing company, ingredient list with composition, product specification, certificate of analysis or lab results, product photos, label artwork in Arabic and English, producer details, and a halal certificate where ingredients require one. The exact list depends on the product, so we confirm it at the screening step, before anything is filed. Please don't send formulas by chat.
Rejections often come from the Arabic text not matching the English or the file, ingredients or additives not permitted under GCC rules, unsupported claims, missing mandatory label items, a nutrition panel in the wrong format, incomplete documents, or a filing company whose licence doesn't cover food trading. Each of these can be checked before filing — that screening is the core of our package.
Yes, production must run under a HACCP-based food safety system. Whether you produce with us at our own and partner facilities or elsewhere, the HACCP documentation for your product is part of our AED 12,000 registration package. If you co-pack with us, production and food safety documentation are planned together from the start.
We don't quote durations: speed depends on how complete the file is, how fast decisions are made on your side, and on the authority's review. What shortens the path is preparation — a screened formula, a label matched to the file, and complete documents. We map your steps on the free strategy call.
Not Saudi Arabia — it needs its own SFDA registration through a Saudi SFDA-registered importer. Within the UAE, Dubai Municipality covers Dubai and other emirates have their own food authorities; we confirm what applies to your distribution plan. Building the file to GCC rules makes additional markets a parallel track, not a redesign.
