The problem, plainly
Two government layers, a door per emirate, and a market that won't publish prices
Read the full cost breakdownA 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 On top of all that: agency fees starting at AED 2,500 per product, usually unpublished.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
