Dubai Custom Registration

If you want to import or export goods to Dubai then your company must be registered with Dubai Customs – and that means obtaining a code for the clearance of goods. In order to obtain this code, your business must hold a valid trading (or commercial) license.

If you do intend to register with Dubai Customs, then the application is done online, and once your payment has been made and your application reviewed, you will receive your approval (providing everything is in order.)

From there, you will be allocated a unique Customs Code and validity is one year, and it can be renewed after the Business License is renewed every year.
