Note

Only a company administrator on the CargoX Platform is authorised to connect the ADC system with the CargoX Platform.

a. If the provided CRN does not exist, please ensure that you are entering the correct CRN as listed in your company account details within the Abu Dhabi Customs application. If you have not yet obtained a CRN, please visit the Abu Dhabi TAMM service to apply for one. Once ready, click the Try with different CRN number button to attempt again.

b. If CRN exists, but the VAT number in the ADC system does not match the VAT number in the CargoX Platform, please update the VAT number in one of the systems to ensure they match. If the VAT number is incorrectly entered in the CargoX Platform, please follow the procedure for updating your company details available here.
