HOW IT WORKS
From first enquiry to stamped visa
Product review and mapping
You share your catalogue, formulas, and target channels. We map which products are in scope, which authority applies, and what route each item needs.
Classification and gap check
We confirm category and scheme for each product, then highlight gaps in labels, documentation, or formulas before you submit.
Portal setup and submissions
We help set up or refine your company profiles on the relevant portals and prepare submissions with the required technical and label data.
Queries, testing, and approvals
We respond to authority queries, coordinate any required testing or additional documents, and follow through to formal approvals or certificates.
Renewals and updates
We track expiry dates, standard changes, and new SKUs so renewals and range extensions happen in a controlled, low stress way.
DOCUMENTATION
What we need to start the process
Corporate and license details
Valid UAE trade license with matching activities, company documents, and portal access where it already exists.
Product formulas and ingredients
Full ingredient lists, percentages where required, and supporting safety data or technical files for each product family.
Label artwork and claims

Testing and certificates
Existing test reports, certificates of analysis, origin documents, and any previous approvals from other markets.
Packaging and use details

Authority specific forms
Any declarations, power of attorney, or manufacturer authorisations required by Dubai Municipality, MoIAT, MOHAP, or other regulators.
