Posted by | Nov 27, 2006 | |

Dubai Custom and DHL today officially announced the launch of an integration solution to facilitate a faster clearance process of global import consignments in the UAE.

The revolutionary system incorporates Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which allows express and logistics companies to send shipment information electronically and receive Customs clearance within minutes.

Commenting on the launch, Bachi Spiga, DHL Area Operations Director Middle East, said:

‘The implementation of this integration solution will provide total customs-clearance and real-time visibility into regional and global trade processes.’

‘Unless there is a need to seek clarification, all transactions will be cleared on the same day. Customs automated feedback over declaration of inbound shipments indicates three possibilities; cleared, on hold or failed depending on the individual status,’ said Mohammed Al Rasasi, Project Manager, Dubai Customs.
