Customs Recordation in the UAE
At our IPR Management in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we understand the crucial role that Customs Recordation plays in protecting your intellectual property rights from infringement at the country’s borders. As a vital step in enforcing intellectual property rights, Customs Recordation allows rights holders to partner with the UAE Customs authorities to intercept and detain suspected counterfeit or infringing goods entering or leaving the country.
Understanding Customs Recordation in the UAE
In the UAE, Customs Recordation is governed by the UAE Cabinet Decision No. 1/4 of 2019 concerning the Customs Control on the Entry and Exit of Goods. This mechanism empowers rights holders to record their trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights with the UAE Customs authorities. Upon recordation, Customs officials are equipped with the necessary information to identify and seize counterfeit goods bearing infringing trademarks or copyrighted works at ports of entry and exit.
