ОАЭ company for global re-export trade

Prepare exact descriptions, HS codes, technical specifications and regulatory status.

Identify suppliers, customers, cargo origin, transit points, destination markets, banks and currencies.

Decide whether the company will trade as principal, act as broker, coordinate logistics or operate a warehouse.

Choose between direct foreign-to-foreign shipping, Свободная зона warehousing, материковая зона import for re-export or customs transit.

Evaluate customs access, материковая зона sales, warehousing, НДС, корпоративный налог, substance, visas and banking.

Ensure the лицензия covers all material product categories and business functions.

Confirm whether products require municipality, ministry, conformity, health, security or sector-specific approval.

Complete trade-name reservation, initial approval, constitutional documents, UBO information and лицензия issuance.

Select the required office, flexi-desk, warehouse or logistics facility.

Obtain the relevant customs business code and portal access where goods will enter or leave through the ОАЭ.

Submit the group chart, trade model, source of funds, products, countries, expected turnover and supporting contracts.

Select freight forwarders, customs brokers, shipping lines, warehouse operators and insurers.

Create procedures for sanctions screening, product classification, origin, end-use checks and document approval.

Assess корпоративный налог registration, НДС registration and Свободная зона qualification.

Configure inventory, multicurrency, landed-cost, margin and transaction-level document records.

Review the complete commercial, customs, banking and tax flow before scaling.

Corporate акционеры may require attested incorporation documents, resolutions, registers and good-standing evidence.

A low initial лицензия cost should not be compared without considering warehouse, customs, banking and renewal expenses.

A consultancy лицензия does not normally authorise the purchase and resale of goods.

Commission income and resale margin arise from different commercial roles.

НДС and корпоративный налог terminology must be checked separately.

Passing goods through the ОАЭ does not automatically change their origin.

Invoices, bills of lading, customs declarations and payment records should reflect the same transaction.

Re-export generally refers to the export of goods that were previously imported but were not substantially transformed into products of ОАЭ origin.

A ОАЭ company purchases machinery from China.

The machinery arrives at a Дубай Свободная зона.

It is stored and consolidated with other equipment.

The company resells and ships it to a customer in Kenya.

The goods may be commercially sold by the ОАЭ company, but their country of origin generally remains China unless a qualifying manufacturing or substantial transformation process changes the origin under applicable rules.

Re-export should not be confused with the export of goods manufactured в ОАЭ.

Transit trade normally involves goods passing through the ОАЭ or moving under customs control while their ultimate destination remains outside the ОАЭ.

A transit shipment does not necessarily mean that the ОАЭ company owns or sells the goods. A logistics provider may arrange transit on behalf of a foreign owner.

The commercial contract and customs declaration must therefore be aligned. Ownership, invoicing, shipping responsibility and customs responsibility should not contradict each other.
