What are the legal requirements for a virtual CR to sell skincare products on social media?
Hello,
I'm interested in knowing what are the legal requirements for selling homemade natural skincare products online like Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok?
If it is run by one person (Bahraini), is virtual CR required for it?
Also, if I plan to make private label natural skincare products by using my brand name for selling online or in the market later, do I need to register my products for it & from where?
Apart from this, what would be the other legal requirements for it?
I'm also unfamiliar with going about these entire procedures & the costs needed for registeration, etc.
Please advise.
Thank you!
To lawfully perform any business activity in the Kingdom of Bahrain, regardless of whether you are one person or many, you must first obtain a Commercial Registration (CR) from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism (the MOICT).
The type of CR (virtual or not) can be determined based on your chosen business activity, as some business activities do not allow you to have a virtual CR.
To advise you on the procedure, costs, etc., we will need to get more details from you on the type of skincare products you sell.
Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
