WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes Import / Export Code a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting documents must match your licence exactly. Import / Export Code is a customs client code that lets your company clear goods through UAE ports and airports, and it applies to any company that physically imports or exports goods, whether mainland or free zone. As a rule, slovenians are a small community in pharmaceuticals, engineering and tourism, so the Import / Export Code authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovenian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Slovenians open through GoldenKey are in pharmaceuticals, engineering, tourism and wood products, although Import / Export Code supports almost any activity.
Why Import / Export Code
GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax submission for Import / Export Code, uploads the paperwork and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is granted. 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 Slovenian clients in pharmaceuticals, engineering, tourism and wood products, which means we know which Slovenia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Import / Export Code take with the FTA?
The FTA typically responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Does Import / Export Code apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
The customs code is needed before the first shipment, so new traders apply as soon as the licence is released.
Is Import / Export Code mandatory for a free zone company?
Yes — Free zone traders need a customs code to move goods in and out of the zone, and a separate mainland importer code if they sell into the UAE market.
Can a Slovenian citizen own 100% of a company in Import / Export Code?
Yes. Slovenians can own the full share capital of a Import / Export Code company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Slovenia join me?
