Montaji files,
prepared properly.
Montaji is the Dubai Municipality system used to register consumer products such as cosmetics and personal care before they are sold. Scena prepares a complete and consistent file with you and accompanies its filing. The application is made in the name of the eligible company, and the decision belongs to the competent authority.
Most delays startbefore submission.
Missing documents, data that does not match from one file to the next, labels that say something else: we organise the file so it is coherent before it is filed.
