Getting Import / Export Code right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. GoldenKey handles Import / Export Code for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. GoldenKey has Polish customers from Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław, and our consultants understand the supporting documents released in Poland and how to attest them for the UAE. Poles are a growing community of IT specialists, engineers and traders, so the Import / Export Code authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Polish applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Import / Export Code
To be clear, penalties for late Import / Export Code or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, and for that reason GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. The code is renewed annually with the licence and is required before your first shipment can be cleared. GoldenKey has prepared Import / Export Code files for Polish customers in IT and software, furniture, cosmetics and food exports, which means we know which Poland documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
