* Non-tariff barriers on food imports.
The UAE maintains non-tariff barriers to trade and investment in the form of restrictive agency/sponsorship/distributorship requirements and restrictive shelf-life requirements for foodstuffs
1) Only firms with the appropriate trade license can engage in importation.
2) Documentation requirements follow international standards and delays in custom clearance have been infrequent.
3) The competition for business between the port facilities of the different emirates has kept user rates at a minimum and put a premium on services.
4) For religious and security reasons, there are various restrictions on the import of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and pork products.
