Frequently asked questions
How long does Import / Export Code take with the FTA?
To be clear, the FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.

As a rule, late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
Does Import / Export Code apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Importantly, the customs code is needed before the first shipment, so new traders apply as soon as the licence is issued.
Can a Lithuanian citizen own 100% of a company in Import / Export Code?
Yes. Lithuanians can own the full share capital of a Import / Export Code company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Lithuanian applicants?
Processing for Lithuanians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Lithuania that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
