FAQ

Questions manufacturers ask before filing.

Can CE reports be used?

CE-based evidence may support some market routes, but acceptance depends on the product, standards, accreditation, technology and competent authority.

Are local samples always required?

No. Sample requirements are market- and product-dependent. The country page should be checked before preparing shipment.

Do we need a local representative?

Some markets or routes require a local importer, representative or applicant. This is confirmed before filing.

Does AFAQ JOOD guarantee approval?

No. AFAQ JOOD coordinates the regulatory process but cannot guarantee a government authority's decision.
