What is the Process of Obtaining an Exit Certificate?

The Exit Certificate serves as proof that the shipment has fulfilled all the legal and administrative requirements and has complied with all the rules and regulations of the port authorities. It confirms that the goods have been inspected, cleared for export, and that all relevant taxes, duties and fees have been paid.

Overall, the Exit Certificate is a crucial document that helps to ensure the safety and compliance of goods leaving UAE ports and plays an essential role in facilitating international trade and business operations.

The process of obtaining the Exit Certificate for Goods in UAE ports typically involves several steps, which may vary depending on the nature and type of the goods being exported. 

Here is a general overview of the process:

  • Submission of Export Documents: The exporter must submit all necessary documents, including the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and any other documents required by the port or relevant authorities.
  • Customs Clearance: The goods must undergo customs clearance, which involves inspection and verification of the shipment’s details, including its value, quantity, and classification. The exporter may be required to pay customs duties, taxes, and fees.
  • Inspection and Certification: The shipment must be inspected by the relevant authorities to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and standards. If the goods are subject to specific regulations or certifications, such as food or pharmaceutical products, they must obtain the necessary certificates from the relevant authorities.
  • Obtaining the Exit Certificate: Once the shipment has been cleared by customs and inspected by the relevant authorities, the exporter can apply for the Exit Certificate for Goods. This involves submitting the necessary documents and paying any fees or charges.
  • Issuance of the Certificate: Once all requirements have been met, the port authorities will issue the Exit Certificate for Goods, which confirms that the shipment is ready to leave the port and has met all necessary requirements and standards.
