FAQ — Goods exported to the UAE
1. Does every UAE shipment need GMARK?
No — category and buyer requirements decide. Confirm per SKU.
2. Is SABER needed for UAE?
SABER is Saudi. UAE has its own frameworks; do not apply the wrong portal.
3. Can free-zone traders hold certificates?
Structure depends on scheme rules and manufacturing location. Get advice before assuming.
4. How Certko helps UAE lanes?
We coordinate India-side testing/cert evidence and Gulf pathway scoping.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
