goAML registration
and Dubai Customs setup.
DNFBPs face strict AML obligations under UAE Federal Law 20 of 2018. Importers and exporters need Customs registration to operate. JPA handles both — registrations, ongoing compliance, and policy frameworks.
goAML is mandatory. The penalties are real.
If you’re a Designated Non-Financial Business or Profession (DNFBP) — real estate broker, dealer in precious metals, auditor, accountant, lawyer, corporate service provider — you’re required to register on the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit’s goAML platform. The fine for not registering starts at AED 50,000 and escalates to AED 100,000+ for repeat violations.
Beyond registration, you need a written AML/CFT policy, a designated compliance officer, sanctions screening procedures, and the ability to file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) when triggered.
On the trade side, any business importing or exporting from the UAE needs Dubai Customs registration through the Mirsal 2 portal, plus an active Importer/Exporter code. We handle both processes — registration, policy frameworks, ongoing compliance support, and customs broker introductions.
