Kuwait's market for imported goods has expanded rapidly. In order to assure Kuwait's consumers of the quality and safety of imported goods, the Public Authority for Industry of the State of Kuwait (PAI) has implemented guidelines to verify the conformity of all 'Regulated Products.' These guidelines are diligently enforced, and form the Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS).

The scheme is a group of procedures carried out by PAI to verify the conformity of all ‘Regulated Products’ to the Kuwait’s Technical Regulations on imported and domestic products alike in accordance with the regulations of this scheme.

The scheme in brief:

  • Every consignment of imported goods which contains regulated products must be accompanied by a Technical Inspection Report (TIR). Intertek is the leading approved Certification/Inspection Body (CIB) which offers this service to exporters.
  • The TIR is required to ensure smooth customs clearance of shipments in Kuwait.
  • The TIR confirms that the products comply with the relevant Kuwait technical regulations and approved international/regional/national standards.
  • The authorities in Kuwait may take random samples from imported consignments to verify compliance.

Intertek has experience in providing solutions to businesses exporting a wide range of products to Kuwait. We have undertaken more assessments of more products for longer than any other organisation.

Intertek has operated the Kuwaiti programme since its inception, and our staff members are experts on Kuwaiti standards and requirements, and understanding the needs of  exporters and importers.

Intertek has one of the world's largest networks of laboratories authorised to text to Kuwait's requirements.

The Intertek Technical Inspection Report (TIR) is recognised and trusted by the Public Authority for Industry (PAI) and by Kuwait Customers.
