What Is Import for Re-export Clearing?
Import for re-export is when goods are imported into the UAE under a declaration and later exported to another country. Both stages must be declared to customs, and the documents for each stage need to be consistent with one another.
What Our Import for Re-export Clearing Service Covers
1. Import Declaration for Re-export
We file the import declaration in the way that reflects your intention to re-export the goods.
2. Export Declaration on Departure
When the goods leave, we prepare the matching export declaration.
3. Document Consistency
Invoices, packing lists and transport documents are checked so both stages match.
4. Onward Shipment Coordination
We coordinate with your carrier or forwarder so the onward movement is not delayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is re-export handled as one shipment or two?
There are two declarations, one for the import and one for the export, and we manage both so they match.
Do I need a customs client code?
Yes. An active customs client code is needed to file declarations. If you do not have one yet, we can help register it.
Can you also arrange the onward transport?
Yes, we can coordinate the onward movement with your carrier or arrange freight.
What documents do you need?
Usually the commercial invoice, packing list and transport document for each leg. Exact document requirements depend on your trade licence activity and the goods involved, so we confirm the list with you before we start.
