Who holds the registration in Oman
In the GCC a locally licensed importer or authorised representative must hold the device registration; a foreign manufacturer cannot hold it directly. If the distributor is also the registrant, it controls your market access. An independent local holder lets you appoint and replace distributors under it.
Who should hold the registration, and how a transfer works
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
