If your UAE business deals with import, export, or re-export, Port & Customs Registration is a legal requirement. This process is handled through an online portal, but understanding the correct procedures and submitting the right documents is key to avoiding delays. Following are the requirements:
Valid Trade License – Matching your business activity
Passport Copy – For the business owner/authorized signatory
Undertaking Letter – Confirming compliance with customs regulations
Once approved, you will receive a unique importer/exporter code—mandatory for all customs transactions—allowing your goods to pass through UAE ports smoothly and in full compliance with local laws.
