Health Supplement Registration in Dubai, UAE
Want to sell health supplements in Dubai? You must register them with Dubai Municipality through the FIRS system. We guide you step by step, from label checks to safety approvals, so your products meet UAE rules, enter the market legally, and reach customers across Dubai and the GCC.
What is Health Supplement Registration
Health supplement registration is a mandatory requirement regulated by Dubai Municipality and MoHAP. It applies to all vitamins, minerals, protein powders, and dietary supplements. Each product must meet strict safety, ingredient, and labeling standards through the Montaji portal. Verified formulas and accurate claims about the product's benefits are required before it can be imported, sold, or distributed in the UAE, ensuring consumer protection and regulatory compliance.
The registration process guarantees proper labeling and adherence to UAE and GCC regulations. Labels must be in Arabic, with English included only if it exactly matches the Arabic content. Some products may also need laboratory testing to confirm safety, quality, and effectiveness. These steps protect consumers and help brands maintain trust while preventing regulatory issues or penalties.
Once registration is approved, companies receive legal permission to sell and distribute health supplements across retail, wholesale, and public sectors in the UAE. Registered products also strengthen brand credibility and create opportunities for wider regional expansion across the GCC. Compliance with these standards positions your business as reliable and professional in a highly regulated health and wellness market.
