Why should businesses register with Dubai Customs?

Businesses that envision making a fortune from trade activities to and from Dubai are required to be registered with Dubai Customs. A code of clearance could be obtained through the registration, and it is mandatory to run import and export activities in Dubai. Companies with a valid license are only eligible to get a code of clearance for goods. The Customs Department of Dubai equips and ensures the smooth operation of trading activities through these registered transactions.

The code of clearance needs to be renewed annually after the renewal of the business license. Companies have to make sure that all goods traded are permitted to trade in the region. During the customs registration, none of the products should be on the banned list since it could cause strict legal issues and penalties.

Companies have to provide various documents, including valid license copies, applicants’s passports, undertaking letters, and chamber of commerce certificates, for the acquisition of customs codes. Businesses with trading activities can avoid delays, fines, and penalties at customs checkpoints by registering with Dubai Customs.
