UAE Certificate of Analysis Legalization Services

When exporting goods to the UAE, especially pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, or chemical products, a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is often required to verify product quality, ingredients, and safety. However, for the COA to be recognized by UAE authorities, it must go through a legalization process that authenticates the document for international use.

The US Arab Chamber of Commerce offers a seamless, professional, and cost-effective Certificate of Analysis legalization service tailored specifically for companies exporting to the UAE.

Why legalize your Certificate of Analysis?

The UAE government mandates that all official business documents, including COAs, be legalized before use within the country. This ensures the integrity and origin of the product. A properly legalized COA provides:

  • Verification of product compliance with UAE standards.

  • Legal recognition of the document for customs clearance.

  • Trust and transparency for your UAE partners or clients.


Failure to submit a properly legalized document can result in delays at customs, product rejections, or legal complications.

Industries that require a legalized Certificate of Analysis

A legalized COA is essential for various industries, including: 

  • Pharmaceutical and Healthcare: To confirm ingredient composition and purity.

  • Food and Beverage: For verifying nutritional facts and safety compliance.

  • Cosmetics and Personal care: To show product testing and ingredient safety.

  • Chemical and Industrial Manufacturing: For confirming chemical properties and hazard information.

  • Agricultural Products: For quality control and pesticide residue analysis.
