Navigating Dubai Municipality Labeling Regulations

Dubai Municipality Health and Safety Department enforces strict packaging labeling rules. Minor errors—such as incorrect Arabic translations, missing batch numbers, unapproved health claims, or improper date formatting—result in mandatory quarantine at Dubai ports, expensive re-labeling costs, or cargo rejection. We provide authoritative pre-import label assessments.

Cosmetic INCI & Ingredient Label Audits

Checking ingredient declarations in descending order of weight using standardized INCI nomenclature.

Food & Supplement Nutrition Labeling

Verifying daily value percentages, serving sizes, and mandatory front-of-pack traffic light labeling.

Medical & Therapeutic Claim Scrubbing

Removing unverified medical promises that cause cosmetic products to be reclassified as regulated pharmaceuticals.

Chemical Safety & GHS Pictograms

Ensuring chemical detergents display standardized GHS hazard pictograms, safety phrases, and poison control numbers.

Avoid Costly Re-Stickering at Ports
