The UAE is one of the largest markets in the world for perfumes and fragrances, with Dubai at its center. To ensure product safety and compliance, all perfumes, deodorants, colognes, and body sprays must be registered with Dubai Municipality through the Montaji System before being imported, manufactured, distributed, or sold in the UAE.
Final Approval & Certification : Once approved by Dubai Municipality, the product receives a Product Registration Certificate, allowing it to be legally imported and sold in the UAE market.
⚠️ Important: Each variant (size, fragrance type, or packaging) must be registered separately.
