Dubai is one of the largest and most important hub of international trade for the export/import of various products. Hence to regulate the quality and maintain the standards, it is Compulsory to register such cosmetic products by law before launching (selling) them in the U.A.E market.
What is Product Registration?
Product Registration is the process of registering the products with Dubai Municipality. The government of Dubai regulates the manufacture, sale and import of cosmetic products. By requiring that all the products which are being used in the domestic market to be registered prior to placing in Dubai market.
It is necessary to emphasize that no cosmetic product shall be manufactured, imported, exported, advertised, sold or distributed in Dubai unless it has been registered in accordance with Dubai Municipality regulation. Registering your products in Dubai gives you access to the whole GCC market, in a hassle free way.
Why Product Registration?
First of all, we should understand why one should register his/her products in Dubai. Product Registration in Dubai restricts the trading of fake and harmful products in the domestic markets, to ensure the customer safety and quality of the product.
A survey wherein the test sample products including toothpaste, face masks, whitening creams, perfumes and other similar cosmetic products contained harmful chemicals. There is no doubt that these daily use products which are highly linked to human health as there are 1001 chemicals in their ingredients that may be harmful to health.
In the survey Dubai municipality found that there are some harmful chemicals used in various cosmetics. For example lead, chromium and arsenic found 30, 20 and 25 per cents respectively in 3,000 products. Also, there were some other chemicals like alcohol, mercury and hydrogen peroxide. Consequently, these products are banned since they are not safe to use.
