The problem, plainly

Two government layers, a door per emirate, and a market that won't publish prices

Read the full cost breakdown

A federal conformity certificate (ECAS) for customs clearance, then municipal registration in the emirate you sell in (Montaji in Dubai, Jawdah in Abu Dhabi) and an Arabic label whose every element is reviewed. On top of all that: agency fees starting at AED 2,500 per product, usually unpublished.

Federal layer

ECAS is mandatory for customs clearance and renews yearly

Municipal layer

Montaji in Dubai · Jawdah in Abu Dhabi

The label is a filing document

Arabic or bilingual, dates printed at the factory

Renewal lurks

Annual at the federal layer, and quotes never mention it

How it works

Three steps, a human where judgment belongs

01

Upload your documents

Test report, Free Sale Certificate, label artwork, the system reads and extracts every field with a stated confidence level.

02

Check compliance, draft the label

Screened against Gulf standards (GSO 1943/9 and the claims rules) with verdicts: GO · FIX · REVIEW, plus the bilingual label draft.

03

Licensed agency files, you track

The packet goes to a licensed agency for final submission; the certificate lands in your account. We follow through to approval.

Drafted by AI, decided by humans, filed by a licensed agency: in exactly that order.

Coverage & roadmap

UAE today, the Gulf on the way

UAE: now

  • Dubai Municipality: Montaji for consumer products
  • MoIAT: ECAS conformity certificates
  • Abu Dhabi: Jawdah portal
  • Food: ZAD chain and municipal services
Next

Saudi Arabia: SFDA (GHAD/eCosma)

Soon

Egypt: EDA (EgyCosm)

We don't sell a market we haven't built the checks for: "next" and "soon" mean exactly that.

Straight answers

What every importer asks

Why won't you quote the Montaji fee in advance?

Because published numbers for it genuinely conflict across sources, and the fee is confirmed in the official quote at submission. We'd rather not invent a number than look cheaper.

How are you different from a traditional PRO agency?

Agencies sell a manual process starting at AED 2,500–4,000 per cosmetics product, usually with no published price. We publish ours (990 / 1,490 / 2,900) and let the system extract documents and check compliance before a human touches the file, expensive hours go only where they're needed.

Why not a global tool at $150 per product?

Those check the formulation, not the UAE file: no GSO standards, no Arabic label, no Montaji or Jawdah filing, no follow-up. A fine report for other markets, not a ticket into this one.

Who actually submits the application?

A licensed agency files the final submission. The system prepares the file, findings and label draft; the agency submits and follows through: drafted by AI, decided by humans.

What recurs next year?

The ECAS certificate renews annually (~AED 1,720), while municipal registrations run multi-year (five years in Dubai versus three in Abu Dhabi per secondary sources, confirmed at filing). A quote that doesn't mention year two isn't a complete quote.

Is my formulation data safe?

Your file is isolated to your account and never used to train external models. Every extracted field carries its source, you can see where each number came from.

Your next file starts with a conversation

Tell Maryam your product and emirate and she'll start with a scoping review, no commitment.
