YOUR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Supporting Beverage Brands Across UAE

The UAE is both a consumer market and the distribution hub for the wider region. Goods clearing at Jebel Ali frequently move on to Saudi Arabia, Oman and East Africa, so packaging and documentation are often specified for re-export as well as for local retail.

ACMFOOD works to that reality. We provide formulation, production, quality documentation and export paperwork; your importer handles registration with the municipality and customs clearance.

Two requirements shape the pack directly. Mandatory information must appear in Arabic as well as English, and production and expiry dates must be printed on the original packaging rather than applied as a sticker afterwards.

Printed Date Coding

Production and expiry dates printed on pack, not applied as labels.

Re-Export Ready

Documentation and packaging suited to onward distribution across MENA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to common questions from Emirati importers, distributors and private label beverage brands.

What is the minimum order quantity for the UAE?

500 cartons per SKU is the standard minimum. Several SKUs can be combined into one container, which suits importers building an assortment for local retail and regional re-export.

Mandatory information must appear in Arabic alongside English. We plan bilingual artwork from the first draft, because retrofitting Arabic copy into a layout designed for English usually means redoing the label.

No. Production and expiry dates are expected to be printed on the original packaging. This has to be set up on the production line, so it needs to be agreed before the run rather than solved afterwards.

Halal certification is required for this market. Confirm with your importer which certifying body is accepted, as the recognised list can change.

Gulf markets apply requirements for the proportion of shelf life remaining when goods arrive. The exact figure should be confirmed with the authority rather than assumed, and it should shape your production and shipping schedule.

Many buyers do. Jebel Ali is the main regional gateway and goods commonly move on to Saudi Arabia, Oman and East Africa. Note that each destination has its own labelling and certification requirements.
