Rest of the GCC (UAE · Qatar · Oman · Bahrain)

UAE, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain each run their own food registration and labelling regime, but the common denominator is the same: Arabic labelling, batch traceability and a halal certificate whose issuer can be verified.

Requirements are the operating checklist we work to with buyers in each market. Your importer or customs broker has the final say on filing.

What your market requires

• Food registration and label review in the destination country (in the UAE normally through the MOIAT/ESMA regime).
• Arabic or bilingual Arabic/English labelling.
• Batch codes matched to the COA, so inspection and recall tracing work.

Documents that ship with the goods

• Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin
• Health certificate, batch COA, halal certificate
