How Korean companies sell on Gulf marketplaces

Amazon.ae & Amazon.sa

Korean companies register on Amazon.ae and Amazon.sa as international sellers; reviews from other Amazon stores can help a new listing. Skin1004 / K-Secret went live on Amazon UAE through its Korean company in 18 days.

Compliance & more channels

Cosmetics need SFDA eCosma notification in Saudi Arabia (through a local licensed representative) and Montaji registration in Dubai; we arrange both.

FAQ

Selling in the UAE and Saudi Arabia from South Korea

Do Korean cosmetics need registration in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Cosmetics are notified on SFDA's eCosma system, and only a Saudi-licensed company can apply, so foreign brands use a local representative. We arrange it.

Do cosmetics need Dubai Municipality registration?

Yes. Dubai Municipality requires cosmetics to be registered (Montaji) before they are sold in Dubai, including online. It typically takes about 3–4 weeks.

Can a Korean company sell on Amazon UAE?

Yes. We registered Skin1004 / K-Secret on Amazon UAE through its Korean company in 18 days.

How much does it cost?

UAE VAT registration is USD 250 and Saudi VAT USD 300, one-time. Account management starts at USD 200 a month per country for up to 10 products. Advertising, marketplace and shipping fees are paid directly by you. See the pricing page for every package.
