Amazon UAE

Want to confirm DED license requirements by Amazon.

  1. Does Amazon allow you to run e-commerce without DED license?

  2. If someone doesn’t have company in UAE, how can they manage DED or Requirements?

Sellers need a valid license to operate on Amazon UAE.

Amazon UAE requires a DED license; without a license, you cannot sell. You must either register a UAE company or appoint a local distributor to meet the requirements.

For Amazon UAE, a DED licence is not always mandatory for account creation, but it is required for long-term compliant business operations, especially for residents of the United Arab Emirates.

Non-UAE residents can operate using a foreign company or an individual account with a passport, bank details, and tax information. However, payment processing, VAT handling, and logistics are significantly smoother with a valid local licence.

A strategic approach is to start with fully compliant documentation from day one to avoid future restrictions, payout holds, or account review issues.
