This service provided by Food Safety – Dubai Municipality facilitates companies engaged in importing and exporting food consignments through Dubai ports to obtain necessary certificates. These certificates include the Food Export Certificate and the Export Health Certificate, which are required by the port of destination.
Key points to note
Food Export Certificate
This certificate confirms the validity of the food products listed within it. However, it’s important to understand that Food Safety – Dubai Municipality does not bear responsibility for the fitness of the products. This certificate serves as a confirmation of the food products’ validity, not their quality or suitability.
Export Health Certificate
If the importer lacks a release report for the shipment, the products must undergo inspection and the requisite fees must be paid as per the inspection procedures before this certificate can be issued. This certificate likely attests to the health and safety standards of the exported food products.
Certificate of Free Sale
This certificate is issued to factories approved within the Emirate of Dubai. It likely confirms that the products manufactured by these approved factories comply with regulations and are eligible for sale in international markets.
Electronic Certification
All export certificates for food are electronically certified, eliminating the need for physical signatures or stamps. This likely streamlines the process and makes it more efficient for companies.
Printing Certificates
Customers have the capability to print all export certificates for food through their accounts with Dubai Municipality. This feature likely provides convenience and accessibility to companies engaged in food import-export activities.
