A company should do Dubai customs registration and get a Customs Client Code in order to clear products, whether it is importing or exporting from Dubai. The business must be properly incorporated in the United Arab Emirates and hold a valid business license in order for Dubai Customs to provide the Customs Client Code.
The Customs Client Code has a one-year validity period and can be extended with the annual renewal of the business license. To obtain a Customs Client Code, one must apply via the Dubai Trade portal.
→The following documents must be submitted with the application, which is prepared online.
1. A copy of the applicant’s passport
2. A copy of the Business License
3. An undertaking by the applicant in case it is a company with a Professional License
You will require an export license to ship anything out of the United Arab Emirates, or an import license if you want to bring anything into the nation, in addition to the Customs Client Code.
One of the best government departments in the region is the Department of Dubai Customs, which makes sure that trading services function appropriately in companies throughout the city. The business needs to make sure that its trading product is not on the list of banned commodities prior to registering with customs. Because the UAE has extremely strong laws about trading in banned commodities, there can be an incredibly high fine. By making an application through the “Dubai Trade Portal,” one can obtain a bespoke code.
→For obtaining a code, the following documents have to be furnished:
1• A copy of a valid trade license
2• A copy of the approved individual’s passport and a Chamber of Commerce certificate
3• A letter of undertaking
Following assessment of the application and payment collection by customs officials, the code is generated electronically. Following the yearly renewal of the commercial license by the relevant authority, the code acquired during Registration with Dubai Customs is renewed annually.

1. You need to submit the proper business license along with your application for a Customs Client Code in case you are an exporter, i.e., export business is your primary business.

2. If you are shipping something listed as restricted, you will need to generate this Export Declaration Certificate to customs officials at the harbour or airport along with your permit. You also need to have a sales invoice stating the exported goods, their amount, value, and description.
The import license is the right business license you should attach to your application for a customs client code if you are an importer, i.e., exports are your primary line of business. But your trading license will do if you are a trader importing goods to sell within the United Arab Emirates.
You have to obtain an Import Declaration Certificate, present it at the port of entry, do all the necessary documentation and remit all the fees charged, including customs charges, when bringing anything into the United Arab Emirates.
