Dubai Customs moves closer to paperless
Dubai Customs has signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with a number of key supply chain partners — Dnata, Danzas AEI Emirates, Al Tayer Logistics, Gargash Enterprises and Emirates Sky Cargo — to use electronic commerce to achieve paperless trading.
The initiative allows importers and exporters to electronically perform 51 Customs transactions remotely, without having to visit the Customs’ centres.
The new electronic environment allows for monitoring and tracking shipments from departure from country of origin through all destinations on their way to Dubai, and through coordination with the major shipping companies that signed the MoUs.
Ram Menen, Emirates divisional senior vice president Cargo said: “As a leading advocate of electronic freight movement, we are delighted that such a progressive program has been initiated by Dubai Customs and the Government. Such an initiative, when fully implemented, will allow a more fluid flow of legitimate goods through the air and sea borders and eliminate potential bottlenecks.’
