Yes. Under Article 12 of Kuwait's Consumer Protection Law (Law No. 39 of 2014), producers and importers are legally required to label products in Arabic. The labels must include all information required by Kuwait's adopted standard specifications, those of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), or any other applicable Kuwaiti law. This typically includes the product name, ingredients or components, country of origin, expiry date, usage instructions, and any safety warnings.
This requirement is designed to ensure that consumers — including Arabic-speaking expats — can make fully informed decisions before purchasing. Products that lack proper Arabic labeling are technically non-compliant with Kuwaiti law, and suppliers can face consequences for selling them.
If you purchase a product that has no Arabic labeling or is missing key information, this is a legitimate grounds for a complaint to the National Consumer Protection Committee. As a practical tip, if you are unsure about a product's ingredients or safety (particularly important for food, cosmetics, or electrical goods), you are entitled to request full product information from the supplier before you buy.
