Working from home is a dream for many – but people thought that starting an online business in Dubai is difficult. There are so many ideas of home business opportunities that you can do here in Dubai. Some of them needs special skills and some of them doesn't.

Hi there,

I want to open business online, but do I need license to import products? I plan to order online in china but just concern if customs would ask for license or legal documents.

I would really appreciate an advise.

Thanks.

Hello Cecille,

Its really great that you want to start your business in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). First of all, I would like to say that, The UAE is a federation of seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Qaiwain, Fujairah and Ras Al-Khaimah).

Yes there are some rules and regulation if you want to import your products.

Only firms with an appropriate trade license can engage in importation, and only UAE registered companies, which must have at least 51 percent ownership by a UAE national can obtain such a license (this licensing provision is not applicable to goods imported into free zones). In addition, not all goods require an import license. All beef and poultry products require a Halal health certificate from the country of origin and a halal slaughter certificate issued by an approved Islamic center in the country of origin. Health certificates must accompany shipments of blood derivatives and other biological substances certifying that that country of origin is free from any infectious or epidemic diseases.

Thanks
