Description
We will be joined by Global Compliance & Regulatory Services Ltd (GCRS), a leading consultancy company specialising in global cosmetic compliance, for a webinar tailored for beauty brands looking to expand into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The GCC region includes countires such as markets of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE represent over 75% of cosmetic imports in the GCC region - and your business can sell to those countries too!
This session will demystify the complexities of cosmetic regulations across the GCC, offering a clear roadmap to ensure your brand meets market entry requirements efficiently and compliantly.
You will gain a practical understanding of pathways to registereing your products; an overview of cultural considerations you may need to make; and the latest regulatory updates.
