Product Registration (FIRS System) — Dubai Muncipality Compliance
Register Your Products in Dubai Municipality FIRS System for Seamless Import & Re-Export
Product Registration (FIRS System)
Overview
Dubai Municipality’s FIRS (Food Import & Re-Export System) is an official digital platform used to register, approve, and manage food-related products for legal entry, distribution, and re-export in Dubai and the UAE. Product registration in FIRS is mandatory for businesses importing consumables including normal foods, functional foods, beverages, supplements, water products, ingredients, and packaging linked to food items.
FIRS registration ensures that:
- Products meet Dubai and UAE federal food safety regulations
- Product claims, labeling and specifications are verified before entry
- Consignments receive faster Dubai port clearance
- Products are eligible for legal re-export approval
A non-registered product faces risks of shipment holds, rejected consignments, penalties, and delayed customs clearance. We help businesses prepare 100% compliant FIRS product records to avoid delays and ensure the highest approval success rate.
