The registration pathway
Verify standards and formula
Screen ingredients against GSO permitted limits and banned-substance lists before testing.
Obtain the ECAS Certificate of Conformity
Apply through a MoIAT-appointed Notified Body, with laboratory testing where required.
Prepare bilingual labelling
Produce Arabic and English labels carrying all mandatory product information.
Register through Montaji
Submit the documents to Dubai Municipality and pay the registration fees.
Approval issued
We see your UAE-wide registration certificate through to approval.
Product registration is what makes your product legal to sell in Dubai
Retailers will ask for approval
Major retailers, distributors, pharmacies and online marketplaces often require valid UAE product registration before they agree to list, stock or sell your product.
Customs clearance becomes easier
The right registration, permits, labels and product documents help reduce the risk of shipment holds, rejected imports and costly delays at UAE customs.
Your brand looks more credible
A registered product shows buyers, retailers and distributors that your product has been reviewed for compliance, labeling, safety and market readiness.
You can scale more products
Once your first product is registered, it becomes easier to launch additional SKUs, pack sizes, variants and product lines across Dubai and the wider UAE market.
UAE product registration support built for faster market entry
Dubai and UAE product classification
We identify whether your product requires Dubai Municipality registration, MOHAP approval, veterinary registration, cosmetic registration, food registration, supplement registration or another UAE authority pathway.
Registration documents reviewed properly
We check labels, certificates, formulas, ingredients, claims, product images, technical files and manufacturer documents before submission to reduce authority comments and avoid unnecessary delays.
Authority submission and follow-up
We manage the registration process with the relevant Dubai or UAE regulatory authority, including application preparation, submission, clarification responses and approval tracking.
Market entry support after approval
Once approved, we support import clearance, distributor onboarding, retail listing, online marketplace requirements, renewals, variations and additional SKU registrations.
