Dubai Customs Registration
Businesses wanting to import or export goods to Dubai need to register their company in Dubai Customs and procure a code for clearance of goods. In order to obtain a code, it’s mandatory for companies to have a valid trading/commercial license issued by a competent authority in U.A.E. Businesses can register for more than one service provided they have a valid license for carrying out the service in Dubai.
Getting the Customs Code in Dubai
The Department of Dubai Customs is one of the leading government departments in the region as it makes sure the trading services are undergoing smoothly in companies around the city. The business, before going for customs registration is required to make sure their trading product does not come under the list of banned items. As the norms in the UAE dealing with the trading of banned items are very strict and can impose high penalty fees. Custom code can be obtained by submitting an application through the “Dubai Trade Portal”. The following documents need to be furnished to obtain a code
- Valid trade license copy
- Passport copy of the authorized person
- Chamber of commerce certificate
- An undertaking letter
The code is generated electronically after the application is reviewed and payment collected by the customs authorities. The code obtained after registration with Dubai customs is renewed annually after the annual renewal of the commercial license by the concerned authority.
