If your license activity doesn’t match your product type (e.g., selling cosmetics with a food license), your application will be rejected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a trade license required?

Yes, it’s absolutely essential for registering products in Dubai. Dubai Municipality will not accept any product registration applications without a valid UAE trade license that includes the appropriate business activities.

Absolutely! Free Zone companies can register products with Dubai Municipality as long as your license covers the correct activity (e.g., “Cosmetic Trading,” “Foodstuff Trading”). The registration process is the same for both mainland and free zone companies.

Free zones are quicker and cheaper for setup, perfect for startups and international brands. Mainland gives you full UAE retail access, better for distributors and companies planning to sell directly in supermarkets and pharmacies. We’ll help you choose based on your specific business goals.

Free Zone setups start around AED 5,500 for basic packages, while comprehensive packages with visas range from AED 12,900 to AED 23,900. Mainland setups typically start from AED 14,999. Annual renewals range from AED 8,000 to AED 15,000.

Free Zone setups typically take 1-2 weeks (some as fast as 2-4 days), while Mainland setups usually take 3-4 weeks. The timeline depends on document preparation, approvals, and bank account opening procedures.
