Frequent Questions
Clarity before your first shipment.
Primarily food and perishables: fresh, chilled, frozen, ambient-packaged items. We review your range first to confirm what is realistically registrable and tradable in UAE, and highlight anything that will be problematic.
It depends on your category, but typically: product registration with local authorities, correct labelling in Arabic/English, and valid health / origin certificates. We map exactly what is needed for your products and handle the local side.
Not necessarily. Al Saterah can act as your import partner, so you do not need to set up a local entity just to test or build initial volumes in the market.
We focus on fit between your range and real buyers: importers, distributors, supermarkets, and foodservice players in UAE. We help position your products and introduce you to relevant buyers once compliance and route are in place.
Yes. We usually recommend a controlled pilot shipment to validate logistics, costs, and buyer response before scaling volume or SKU count.
Simple, well-documented products can move relatively quickly; complex categories or missing paperwork will need setup time. After a short review, we can give you a realistic estimate for your specific case.
