Home / Commercial License
Import, export, distribute and retail across the UAE with a DET commercial trading licence, including general trading options.
The commercial licence is the DET category for buying and selling goods: specific trading (electronics, foodstuff, building materials and hundreds more), e-commerce, and the broad general trading licence that covers multiple unrelated product lines under one entity. It is the licence importers, distributors, retailers and online sellers on mainland Dubai must hold.
Pro24 selects the tightest activity combination for your products (fewer approvals, lower cost), arranges any ministry approvals such as food or medical product permissions, and completes customs code registration so you can import from day one.
Built for physical and online product businesses.
Register with Dubai Customs and clear goods under your own company importer code.
Open shops and showrooms in malls and high streets across Dubai and the UAE.
Sell on your own store, Amazon.ae and Noon with a compliant mainland trading entity.
Trade multiple unrelated product categories under one licence for diversified businesses.
Sign official UAE distributor and agency agreements with international brands.
Lease warehouses in Dubai industrial areas directly under your trade licence.
We match your product lines to DET activity codes and flag any regulated items early.
Name reservation, initial approval, external permits where needed, and MOA notarisation.
Licence issued, then Dubai Customs importer code and VAT registration completed.
Establishment card, visas and bank account so goods and payments can move.
