Customs Registration
Dubai is gradually evolving in current times and the business sector has made it the richest in the region. To start a trading business and start import and export activities in Dubai, the business requires registering with Dubai Customs and obtaining an authorization code. To register with Dubai Customs and obtain a code for goods clearance, businesses must first have a valid trade or business license issued by the Dubai Department of Economic Development. Accustomed to the company having a valid business license to conduct business in Dubai, the company will have the opportunity to register for the multiple services.
Custom code registration in Dubai
The Dubai Customs Department is one of the prominent government departments in the region as it ensures that trade services are ultimately run by companies wholly in the city. Dubai’s customs department has been around for a long time and continues to monitor the borders for any commercial activity. It plays an important role in both the economic and social development of Dubai. The UAE provides world-class customs procedures, backed by the IMD World Competitiveness Center rating, as they say the UAE is at the top of the charts as of late. The company must ensure that commercial products are not included in the list of prohibited items. According to the rules of the United Arab Emirates, dealing with the trade of prohibited items is very strict and even charges very high fines.
Secure the Customs Code in Dubai
In Dubai, the personalized code can be secured by submitting the application to the customs authority along with specific documents that are required to obtain the customs code. They are the following:
- Copy of a valid business license.
- Copy of the passport of the authorized person.
- Chamber of Commerce certificate.
- A letter of commitment.
Once the submitted application is reviewed and the fees paid are collected by the Dubai Customs authorities, a code is automatically generated thereafter. Once a customs code is obtained, a company can start trading.
