Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has introduced a new bulk product data upload feature for its “Adding Commodity without a Custom Release” service, marking another step toward enhancing digital transformation and streamlining business procedures in Qatar. 

Through this new feature, the Ministry aims to improve efficiency, support compliance, and create a more organized and investment-friendly business environment across the country.

In a post on its X platform, yesterday, the Ministry stated, “MoCI has launched a new bulk product data upload feature for the ‘Adding Commodity without a Custom release’ service, as part of its efforts to enhance digital procedures and simplify product price registration processes for companies, retail stores, and suppliers.”

The feature aims to facilitate the registration of previously unregistered products, provide a flexible six-month grace period for product price registration, and enhance the efficiency of digital procedures provided.

In an info graphic shared with the post, it outlined the steps to benefit from the feature, which include visiting the official Ministry of Commerce and Industry website at http://moci.gov.qa, selecting E-Services, then Digital Platform Services, and accessing the Adding Commodity without a Custom release service.

The Ministry added that the conditions for benefiting from the feature include compliance with the product safety undertaking, adherence to applicable laws and regulations, and ensuring that products and their related data do not violate local customs and traditions.

The post further said, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry calls upon all companies and retail stores to benefit from the grace period provided and adhere to all procedures, ensuring the enforcement of an organised business environment that supports both businesses and the investment ecosystem.

In line with its ongoing digital transformation strategy, the Ministry emphasised that the newly launched bulk upload feature is designed to significantly reduce the time and effort required for registering product prices. 

By enabling companies, retail stores, and suppliers to upload large quantities of product data simultaneously, the Ministry aims to improve operational efficiency and accelerate registration procedures for products that were previously unregistered within the system.

The initiative forms part of broader efforts to modernise government services and strengthen cooperation with the private sector through advanced digital solutions. The move reflects the Ministry’s commitment to supporting the business community while ensuring transparency and efficiency in market practices.

The Ministry also stressed the importance of adhering to all applicable regulations and product safety standards when using the service.
