Route and permissions

Choose the actual operation: arranging freight, carrying goods, clearing customs and operating a warehouse are different tasks. For commercial transport activities covered by RTA, its service activates the relevant inactive DET activity or supplies an NOC for a free-zone trade licence. For transactions with Dubai Customs, register the business to obtain its customs code using the trade licence and authorised person’s identity documents.

A customs code is not a freight-transport licence. Identify the transport mode and operating role before building the permit checklist.

What still needs confirmation

No universal freight permission, vehicle quota or warehouse specification follows from these two service pages.
