Import / Export Code for IT & Software Businesses

Why Import / Export Code

GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for Import / Export Code, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. The code is renewed annually with the licence and is required before your first shipment can be cleared. For it & software, Import / Export Code offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
