      Please read the following article:
      https://exceldatapro.com/link-trn-with-dubai-customs/
      IF you have done this and that it reflects your imports on FTA VAT Portal that means you have linked your account.

    Hi Sir,

    Do i need TRN number if i am opening a new company in UAE and want to import and export items ?
    few say as its new company trn number is not required because in trn registration it will ask company income
    if i want to import and export items from uae then do i need trn number to link ? if no trn number for the newly opened company what is the solution ?
    from dubai customs they will ask trn number to link with them to do import

    if trn is to be registered how is that done for a newly opened company ?
    please help.

      Registration is mandatory if your turnover is or expected to be AED 370000. The below link regarding importers will guide you through. Let me know if you have questions:

      in addition to that, You don’t require a scanned copy of the custom number. As mentioned in the process you require only VAT certificate and Trade Licence only.

    We have done one import purchase recently, but in customs its showing Old TRN no. We tried to change TRN no through online but its not changed)

    Kindly advise the following
    1) How can we change the new TRN no in customs
    2) How can we adjust this transaction on next tax payment.

    Expecting your urgent reply

      1. For changing the TRN same process will be followed.
      2. Consult FTA.
