Entering excise-regulated categories such as tobacco, vape, or energy drinks requires more than ambition. TAG equips you with category-specific data, regulatory context, and consumer insights tailored to the GCC, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly early-stage errors.
Business setup in excise-taxed sectors demands more than incorporation. TAG guides you through entity structuring, free zone strategy, licensing, and FTA onboarding, ensuring your operation is fully aligned with GCC compliance from day one.
Building compliant FMCG products in excise categories like soda, nicotine, and energy drinks means more than taste or design. TAG helps shape your formulations, SKUs, and label decisions around GCC standards, so you can go from concept to compliant shelf faster.
Testing and registration are critical to excise-market entry. TAG validates ingredient thresholds, manages authority submissions, and navigates FTA, SFDA, or ESMA protocols, preventing costly delays, refusals, or reformulations.
Excise-regulated distribution isn’t just paperwork, it’s execution. TAG ensures launch readiness by mapping ideal retail formats, qualifying local buyers, and aligning every route-to-shelf decision with GCC market dynamics.
