Navigating UAE product regulations.

The UAE maintains one of the most rigorous product regulatory frameworks in the Middle East. Whether you are launching a cosmetics line, importing health supplements or distributing food products, every item must be registered with the relevant authority before it can be legally sold.

Dubai Municipality oversees product registration through the Montaji / CPRE system for cosmetics, while MOHAP handles health supplements and pharmaceuticals. Food products fall under Dubai Municipality's food safety regulations, and certain categories may also require ESMA conformity certificates.

UAE product registration, answered.

What product categories does Next Move Services handle?
We cover cosmetics, health supplements, food products, detergents, disinfectants, perfumes, pet food and medical devices — any product that requires UAE regulatory approval before sale.
Which authorities regulate product registration in the UAE?
Dubai Municipality (via Montaji / CPRE for cosmetics), MOHAP (health supplements and pharmaceuticals), ESMA (conformity standards) and local municipality food safety departments.
How long does product registration take?
Timelines vary by category. Cosmetic CPRE approvals typically take 2–4 weeks per SKU once the dossier is complete. Health supplements and food products may take 3–6 weeks depending on the authority.
Do I need a UAE trade licence before registering products?
Yes. A valid mainland or free-zone trade licence with the correct commercial activity is a prerequisite for product registration in the UAE.
Can you handle products from multiple categories at once?
Absolutely. Many of our clients have portfolios spanning cosmetics, supplements and food products. We manage all categories under a single engagement with a dedicated account manager.
What happens after my product is approved?
We deliver your digital approval certificate and can coordinate customs clearance with your logistics partner. We also offer ongoing compliance support for renewals, label changes and new SKU additions.
