To import products from a foreign nation into the UAE, export goods manufactured in the UAE, or re-export items previously imported into the UAE, an Import-Export Code (IEC) issued by the relevant customs agency is necessary. The UAE has a single customs system across all Emirates and offers a favourable environment for import and export. A firm holding a valid UAE licencing authority trade licence and related commercial activity can apply for the UAE Import-Export Code (IEC).
