Coconut Water for the UAE and the Wider GCC

WHAT BUYERS NEED TO KNOW

Export-ready,
market-ready.

PrimeCoco supplies coconut water, coconut water powder and concentrate to UAE-based importers, brands, and HoReCa distributors. Direct sea-freight from Mundra to Jebel Ali: 7 to 10 day shipping window.

Food entering the UAE is registered by the importer on the federal ZAD system, with Dubai shipments handled through Dubai Municipality’s FIRS and Abu Dhabi through ZADI, and the label is assessed against UAE and GSO standards before the first consignment. We supply the health certificate, NABL test reports and batch COA that the registration asks for, and our step-by-step guide to importing coconut water into the GCC walks through the whole process for the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

As this is simply a coconut product (a naturally pure, plant-based ingredient) Halal certification is not something we need by default. If your buyer or market requires formal Halal certification, we are happy to coordinate with a certifying body accredited to the GSO 2055-1 Halal standard to obtain it ahead of your shipment. This typically adds 30–45 days to your first shipment’s lead time. Please raise this requirement at enquiry stage so we can plan accordingly.
