Register on Comilmart as an International Manufacturer (2026)
Comilmart Team
October 12, 2026
If you want to register on Comilmart as an international manufacturer, the part that takes the most thought is the paperwork. Comilmart supplier accounts are created through an application at /apply-manufacturer, and the form includes a know-your-supplier (KYS) verification step. This guide explains what the form asks for and shows, country type by country type, which official documents a company in India, Turkey, the UAE, the US or the UK would typically hold that correspond to those fields. These are examples of document types named on official pages. They are not a list of what Comilmart accepts, and the reviewer decides what is acceptable.
How to register on Comilmart: what the supplier application asks for
The application at /apply-manufacturer is free. It requires:
- A company registration number
- A tax number
- A business licence upload
- A registration certificate upload
- At least two sample product images
- Your company mission, vision and core values
- At least one B2B category
Country, state and city are free text, so a manufacturer from any country can apply. The form states that admin review takes about 24 to 48 hours. Comilmart cannot promise that any application will be accepted.
How the form fields map to documents in different countries
Every country names its documents differently. In general terms: the registration number and registration certificate come from the registry where the company was formed; the tax number comes from the tax authority; and the business licence is whatever your country or locality issues to operate. The examples below come from official pages we read in October 2026. Where a country has no document of a given kind, say so on the form or ask Comilmart through live chat first.
| Country | Registration number and certificate | Tax number | Business licence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | Your incorporation or registration record from the registrar where you were formed. Micro, small and medium enterprises may also hold an Udyam Registration Certificate | GSTIN, the 15-digit GST registration number, shown on the GST registration certificate | Whatever your activity requires; ask Comilmart if unsure |
| Turkey | Trade registry records in MERSIS, the central registry system run by the Ministry of Trade | Tax number (Vergi Kimlik Numarası), a 10-digit number for legal entities | Whatever your activity requires; ask Comilmart if unsure |
| United Arab Emirates | Registration documents from the emirate's economic department | The tax registration number issued by your tax authority | Trade licence issued by the economic department of the emirate |
| United States | State business registration, usually through the Secretary of State or similar office | EIN, the federal employer identification number issued by the IRS | State or local licences and permits that match your activity |
| United Kingdom | Certificate of incorporation showing the company number | For example, the 10-digit Unique Taxpayer Reference for Corporation Tax | Whatever your activity requires; ask Comilmart if unsure |
Here is what the official pages say. For India, the GST Council flyer on registration explains that the registrant is issued a 15-digit GSTIN, PAN-based and state specific, and that the certificate includes it; a 30 June 2020 press release from India's Press Information Bureau describes Udyam Registration as online, paperless and self-declared, with a registration number and a certificate issued afterwards. For Turkey, the Ministry of Trade describes MERSIS as the central registry system holding trade registry records, and an OECD page describes the 10-digit tax identification number for legal entities. For the UAE, the government portal u.ae (updated 16 July 2026) says investors collect the trade licence from the economic departments, that licence categories depend on the activity, and that the legal form must match the activity. For the US, the IRS (page updated 17 July 2026) describes the EIN as a federal tax ID number, and the SBA (page modified 28 August 2026) says LLCs, corporations and partnerships generally register with each state where they do business and that required licences depend on activities and location. For the UK, GOV.UK (updated 3 February 2025) says the certificate of incorporation confirms that the company legally exists and shows the company number, and that a company is usually set up for Corporation Tax with a 10-digit UTR.

Prepare your files before you start
- Scan clearly. Upload complete, readable pages of the registration certificate and business licence, with all stamps and numbers visible.
- Copy numbers exactly. Enter the company registration number and tax number as they appear on the documents.
- Choose two or more representative product photos. Show real products, not renderings, with a plain background.
- Write the mission, vision and core values in plain language. Say who you are, what you make and how you work.
- Pick your B2B category. At least one is required. Choose the one buyers would use to search for you.
If your documents are not in English, ask Comilmart through live chat whether a translation is needed. We could not confirm a language rule, so do not assume one.
