Approve samples and agree terms
Approve a pre-production sample before bulk production, agree the payment terms (for example a letter of credit or bank transfer) and, if you want one, book a third-party pre-shipment inspection.

Clear customs in United Arab Emirates
Goods are declared to the customs authority of the emirate of entry, for example Dubai Customs under their HS code; a freight forwarder or customs broker usually files the declaration for you. Before the first shipment you will need a UAE trade licence and a client registration with that emirate's customs authority. The duty and tax due depend on the HS code and the goods' origin: ask your customs broker before you confirm the order.
