CUSTOM REGISTERATION ?

To import or export items to Dubai, your import export business must be registered with the Dubai Customs agency to get a code for the clearance of goods. Applicants must hold a relevant and valid trading license in a UAE free zone to meet the requirements for a customs clearance code. As we’ve mentioned, the process is straightforward to apply with Dubai Customs – if you know what you’re doing, that is. Customs client codes are valid for the duration of a business’ trade license and need to be renewed annually. Only after renewing your trade license can you apply to renew your customs client code to begin your trading activity.
