Virtual Ejari for General Trading Licenses in Dubai: 2026 Guide

Operating a General Trading business under the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) allows enterprises to import, export, and distribute multiple unrelated commercial product lines across the UAE. Because general trading activities cover broad inventory categories, DET licensing historically required physical commercial space.

Securing a DLD-Approved General Trading Virtual Ejari allows multi-product trading firms to fulfill address requirements at a flat annual rate.
