What customs code means
Customs code: the importer/exporter registration with customs that allows clearance of goods.
In practice, customs code appears in licence applications, bank forms and government portals, and misunderstanding it is one of the common reasons applications bounce back. GoldenKey explains the term in the context of your own file so you can sign supporting documents with confidence.
How customs code applies to your company
If you are unsure how customs code applies to your situation, send GoldenKey a message and an adviser will explain it for your specific case. Day to day, for free zone companies, customs code comes up when the free zone authority references it during licensing or renewal. In practice, for mainland companies, customs code matters because the economic department, immigration or the FTA uses it in mainland procedures.
