YOUR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Supporting Beverage Brands Across Qatar

Qatar applies Gulf standards for labelling and product requirements, so much of the compliance work is shared with the rest of the region. What deserves separate attention is the excise duty applied to sugary drinks and energy drinks, which lands on the landed cost rather than on the factory price.

ACMFOOD works to that split. We provide formulation, production, quality documentation and export paperwork; your importer handles registration with the Ministry of Public Health and customs clearance.

Because the excise depends on the product category and the recipe, it is worth modelling before the formula is fixed. Purchasing power in Qatar supports premium and functional positioning, which gives room to absorb it where the product justifies the price.

Excise Modelling

Category and sugar level reviewed against the Qatari excise before quoting.

Premium Positioning

Formats and formulations suited to a high purchasing-power market.

What is the minimum order quantity for Qatar?

500 cartons per SKU is the standard minimum. Several SKUs can be combined into one container, which is the usual way to start without overcommitting on a single flavour.

Qatar applies excise to categories including sugary drinks and energy drinks. It is charged in Qatar and affects your landed cost, so model it against your recipe and category before setting a retail price.

Mandatory information must appear in Arabic alongside English under Gulf standards. We plan bilingual artwork from the first draft rather than retrofitting Arabic copy into an English layout.

Yes. Halal certification is required and the certificate travels with the shipment along with the health certificate. Confirm with your importer which certifying bodies are accepted.

There is no bilateral free trade agreement in force, so standard Gulf import tariffs apply in addition to any excise. Check the current position for your HS code before building a landed cost.

Hamad Port serves Qatar directly, and some consignments tranship through Jebel Ali. Our products carry 18 to 24 months of shelf life depending on product and packaging format.
