Businesses importing or producing excise goods — tobacco, energy drinks, carbonated drinks — must register each product with the FTA. HayyaTax guides the entire process.
Every excise product needs its own FTA registration.
Excise Products are specific goods subject to Excise Tax in the UAE, including tobacco products, energy drinks, and carbonated drinks. Businesses that import or produce these goods are required to register each product for Excise Tax with the FTA and obtain an Excise Tax registration number.

Who Needs This
Importers and producers bringing a new excise product to market.
If you're launching, importing, or manufacturing a new tobacco product, carbonated or sweetened beverage, or energy drink, that specific product needs its own registration before it can be sold or distributed in the UAE.
Timing
5 to 10 business days for FTA review.
The FTA typically takes 5 to 10 business days to review and approve a new product registration, depending on the completeness of the submission and the complexity of the product.
