How to Sell On Amazon.ae
Amazon’s incredible journey from an online bookstore to the world’s largest e-commerce platform is a story of unmatched success. Today, entrepreneurs worldwide, including those in the UAE, benefit immensely from this global giant’s platform.
Amazon.ae is relatively new to the UAE but has already generated over $350 million in sales last year. This presents a golden opportunity for UAE-based entrepreneurs to start selling and take advantage of Amazon’s lucrative marketplace.
Selling on Amazon.ae
To begin selling on Amazon.ae, you need to meet a few essential requirements, including obtaining an e-commerce license. Whether you choose a Mainland or Free Zone license depends on your business needs, but Free Zone licenses are often more affordable and offer unique benefits.
Why Choose a Free Zone License?
A Free Zone e-commerce license provides significant advantages like:
- 100% customs tax exemption
- Zero currency restrictions
- Easy transportation via land, air, and sea
With lower costs and hassle-free procedures, Free Zone licenses are ideal for many businesses.
How to Get an E-Commerce License
With Cross Link International, you can secure your license in just four simple steps:
Step 1: Register Your Business Name
Choose a company name that aligns with UAE’s naming regulations. Your business name should:
- Be unique and available for registration.
- Use full names instead of initials if including a personal name.
- Avoid any language that could offend religious or cultural sentiments.
Our team ensures your business name complies with UAE regulations, simplifying the process for you.
Step 2: Apply for Your E-Commerce License
For a Free Zone license, submit your application to the relevant Free Zone authority. Unlike Mainland licenses, Free Zones are self-regulated, so no extra government approvals are needed.
Provide basic documents like your passport and Emirates ID, and we’ll handle the rest for you.
Step 3: Secure Your Visa
If you plan to live and work in the UAE, obtaining a residence visa is essential. The process includes:
- Biometric information collection.
- Medical fitness tests, including x-rays and blood tests.
- Meeting salary criteria to sponsor family members.
We’ll guide you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth visa application process.
Step 4: Open a Corporate Bank Account
After obtaining your license and visa, you’ll need a corporate bank account. Don’t stress over the numerous options—our experts will help you choose the right one and complete the setup quickly.
