Import/Export License

An import/export license is an official permit required by governments for businesses to legally bring goods into a country (import) or send goods out of a country (export). These licenses ensure that trade complies with national laws, regulations, and safety standards. They help control the flow of certain products, protect local industries, and prevent illegal activities, such as smuggling. Obtaining a license usually involves an application process and meeting specific criteria, which can vary depending on the type of goods and the countries involved in the trade.
