As tobacco-free pouches gain popularity worldwide, many people in the UAE are asking: Are nicotine pouches legal here? The answer is yes — but with clear regulatory conditions. Let’s walk through the legal landscape and how nicotine.ae ensures full compliance.
Understanding the Regulatory Body: MoIAT In the UAE, product conformity and registration are overseen by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT). For a pouch product to be legally sold in the UAE, it must:
· Be registered with MoIAT
· Receive an ECAS Certificate of Conformity through an approved Notified Body
· Follow UAE-specific labeling and packaging requirements
What Is the ECAS Certificate? ECAS (Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme) is a government certification required for regulated products. It confirms that the product meets health and safety standards for UAE consumers.
Is It Legal to Import or Sell Nicotine Pouches? Yes — if the product:
· Is tobacco-free (white pouches only)
· Has been certified under ECAS
· Is registered to a licensed importer or distributor
