What are the requirements for daily necessities exported from Yiwu to the Middle East? Middle Eastern countries have specific requirements for daily necessities exported from Yiwu, which primarily focus on four core dimensions: certification, labeling and instructions, packaging, and product quality and safety. These must strictly comply with local regulations and cultural characteristics.
In terms of certification, Saudi’s SASO certification, the G-Mark certification for Gulf countries, and the UAE’s ESMA certification are key. Most daily necessities must obtain these mandatory certifications and pass tests in designated laboratories before customs clearance. Electronic and electrical products must also meet additional energy efficiency standards.
Labels and instructions must be in Arabic or bilingual, clearly indicating the production date, expiration date, and country of origin. "Made in China" must be displayed in a non-removable manner. Packaging should use environmentally friendly and sturdy materials with moisture-proof and shock-resistant properties. Wooden packaging must undergo fumigation treatment, and dimensions should align with transportation needs, with complete and standardized markings.
In terms of product quality, goods must comply with local safety and hygiene standards. Food-contact materials and toys, for example, require specialized testing. Additionally, it is essential to avoid religious and cultural taboos, such as the inclusion of alcohol or pork ingredients. Design patterns should steer clear of prohibited symbols to ensure alignment with Islamic teachings and local customs. Adhering to these requirements is crucial for successfully accessing the Middle Eastern market for daily necessities.
