Import & warehousing

Import licensing and medical warehousing in the UAE.

We hold our own drugstore licence, allowing us to act as the importer of record for pharmaceutical and medical device shipments. We operate MOHAP-compliant medical warehousing, including cold chain, and handle the customs and distribution flow.

Getting a product into the UAE needs a licensed importer, not just a courier.

Pharmaceutical and medical device shipments can only enter the UAE through a licensed importer of record, and they have to be stored and moved under conditions the regulator accepts. The licence, the warehouse, and the distribution flow all have to line up.

We hold the drugstore licence and run MOHAP-compliant warehousing, cold chain, customs clearance, and distribution as one engagement, so your goods move from the port to the point of supply without changing hands between providers.

Everything between the manufacturer and the shelf.

Import and warehousing, answered.

Do I need my own UAE entity to import pharmaceuticals?
No. We hold our own drugstore licence and can act as the importer of record for pharmaceutical and medical device shipments, so a foreign manufacturer does not have to set up its own licensed import entity.
What is an importer of record?
The importer of record is the licensed party responsible for bringing a shipment into the UAE, clearing it through customs, and meeting the regulatory requirements that attach to the goods. Acting in this role does not transfer ownership of your products.
Can you store temperature-sensitive products?
Yes. We operate MOHAP-compliant medical warehousing, including temperature-controlled and cold chain storage, with monitoring and validation suited to medicines and devices that require defined conditions.
Do you handle distribution after import?
Yes. We manage the flow from customs clearance through GDP-compliant distribution logistics, and can structure distribution agreements so products move from the port to the point of supply under one team.
