MoE’s Laws and Regulations

This resolution aims to identify the measures undertaken by the competent authority to detect counterfeit or corrupt goods and the means of withdrawing the same from the markets, if it becomes apparent to the sub-committee that the trader maintains goods within the UAE and that the goods present in the market constitute commercial fraud. The resolution also addresses the disposal by the competent authority of counterfeit or corrupt goods, should the trader abstain from returning said goods to the country of origin or export source. This is in addition to the expenses associated with the disposal of these goods, which the trader must incur. The resolution further identifies the guidelines for the destruction and recycling of counterfeit goods; namely the existence of a judicial order or sub-committee decision for destruction, the attendance of a sub-committee representative, verifying destruction in a way that the goods may no longer be utilised or consumed and compiling a report signed by the representative of the sub-committee.
