Oman is cracking down on product quality, and enforcement starts March 1, 2026.
If you manufacture, import, or sell products in Oman, this is not something to ignore.
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion has confirmed that all manufacturers, importers, and retail or distribution establishments must obtain a licence to use the Omani Quality Mark for designated products sold in the local market.
The requirement is being enforced through the Directorate General of Standards and Metrology and applies across the manufacturing, import, retail, and distribution sectors.
Here’s the key timeline you need to know.
- Businesses must apply for or renew their Omani Quality Mark licence
- Applications must be submitted through the Hazm Platform
- Only approved conformity assessment bodies can be used
- A list of mandatory products is available via QR code
Most importantly, regulatory enforcement will begin at all entry points from Sunday, March 1, 2026. From that date, products covered under the scheme may be stopped, rejected, or blocked if they do not carry the required licence.
According to the ministry, the move is aimed at maintaining national quality standards, ensuring product conformity, and protecting consumers in the Omani market.
In short.
If your product is on the mandatory list and you don’t have the licence, it shouldn’t be on shelves and it may not even make it into the country.
