Frequently Asked Questions

What is SFDA and what is GHAD?

SFDA (Saudi Food & Drug Authority) is the primary regulator for cosmetic, food, supplement, and medical device registration in Saudi Arabia. GHAD is the online portal SFDA uses for product registration submissions. Together, they form the gateway to selling regulated consumer products in the Saudi market.

How long does SFDA registration take?

Timelines vary by product category, dossier completeness, and SFDA workload. We provide a category-specific estimate during the free consultation and keep you informed throughout the approval process.

Do I need Arabic labelling for Saudi?

Yes — Arabic labelling is MANDATORY for all consumer products sold in Saudi Arabia. We handle full Arabic translation, layout, and ensure SFDA-compliant typography. This is often a major hurdle for international brands that we solve in-house.

What's the difference between SFDA and UAE Dubai Municipality (Montaji) registration?

SFDA is a separate process from UAE registration. A product registered in UAE Dubai Municipality (Montaji) is NOT automatically valid in Saudi Arabia. Saudi has stricter labelling, halal, and ingredient review processes. If you want both markets, both registrations are required.

What about halal certification?

For relevant products (food, supplements, some cosmetic ingredients), halal certification is required for SFDA approval. We coordinate with recognized halal certification bodies to ensure your product meets Saudi halal standards.

How much does SFDA registration cost?

Cost depends on category and number of products. Government fees vary by category. Service fees are quoted on enquiry based on scope. Get a free quote.

What if my product was previously rejected by SFDA?

We do gap analysis to identify the rejection root cause (label, formula, halal status, missing document), prepare a revised dossier, and re-submit through GHAD. We've recovered numerous stuck Saudi applications.

Do I need a local Saudi importer?

Yes — SFDA requires a local Saudi importer or distributor to be registered as the legal representative for your product. We can help connect you with our network of trusted Saudi importers if you don't already have one.
