Custom Code Registration UAE – Fast & Reliable Services with Raes Associates
If you’re planning to import or export goods in the UAE, obtaining a custom code is not just a requirement—it’s essential. Raes Associates makes the process of custom code registration in UAE seamless, fast, and fully compliant with Dubai Customs and other emirate authorities.
What is a Custom Code in UAE?
A custom code (also known as an import-export code) is a unique identifier issued by the UAE Federal Customs Authority. This code is mandatory for any business involved in cross-border trade. Whether you are bringing goods into the country or shipping them abroad, your company needs a custom code to clear shipments through ports, airports, or borders.
Without custom code registration, you won’t be able to:
- Clear goods at Dubai Customs
- Use freight forwarding or cargo services
- Comply with local and international trade laws
