Common Questions
Does authentication work for goods transiting through Jebel Ali free zone?
Yes. Origin's batch-level traceability covers manufacturing through free-zone warehousing and cross-border shipping, so you can see where a batch diverges from its intended route even during multi-stage re-export.
Can Dubai Customs use this data directly during a seizure operation?
Enforcement teams and customs officials can verify authenticity instantly using Phantom Code's covert markers or standard scan verification, giving them fast, defensible proof during an active seizure rather than needing lab analysis.
Does verification work in both Arabic and English?
Yes. Verification is designed for the UAE's multilingual, mobile-first consumer base and works via WhatsApp or web scan rather than assuming a single language or requiring an app download.
We sell mainly luxury watches and cosmetics. Is this relevant to us?
Yes, these are among the categories Dubai Customs seizes most often. Certify's geotagged authentication is built for exactly this kind of high-value, high-demand category where counterfeit pressure is highest.
How does this help if our counterfeit exposure comes from multiple GCC markets, not just the UAE?
Batch-level traceability and scan verification apply the same way across markets, so you get consistent visibility whether stock is diverted within the UAE or moves onward into other GCC countries.
