تسجيل مشاريع التجارة الإلكترونية والشركات الأخرى في الإمارات العربية المتحدة
أريد أن أفتتح متجر إلكتروني ( تجارة إلكترونية ) في دبي، سيكون عبارة عن متجر للملابس. سأستلم الملابس من الصين عن طريق شركة الشحن وسأبيعها في دبي. سيتمكن العملاء من أن يدفعوا ثمن السلع عن طريق الإنترنت عبر منصة إرسال واستلام الأموال بايبال.
لذا أريد أن أعرف هل سأحتاج إلى أن أسجل هذا المتجر الإلكتروني، وفي حالة الإجابة بنعم، ما هي الإجراءات لفعل ذلك؟ ربما لن يتوجب عليّ التسجيل لأن البضائع ستأتي عن طريق الشحن من الصين.
برجاء إبداء النصح

Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
Further to your query, kindly be advised that in order to operate inside the UAE you have to get a trade license issued from Dubai Economic Department, authorising you to perform activities in the UAE.
Performing activities without getting an approval from DED is illegal and is subject to penalties.
Furthermore, please be informed that it will not be an e-commerce license, as e-commerce includes companies operating websites that act as portals to the internet, via PCs and digital devices, in order to link buyers and sellers by listing sellers’ products and to make consumers shop online.
The role of the e-commerce company is restricted to brokerage only. This type of companies is not allowed to conduct business for trading.
As you will be importing clothes from China and then selling them online, our suggestion shall be to open a trading of ready-made garments company in the UAE.
Under this license, you can open your website in addition to advertising and selling your products.
