Director General of Dubai Customs Urges Further Trade Facilitation through Visit to Customs Centers
Dubai – 25 February 2024: n the course of his ongoing inspections to monitor customs operations and facilitate trade for both merchants and travelers, H.E. Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General of Dubai Customs, CEO of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, emphasized the need to enhance trade facilitations during a visit to the customs centers at Ducamz and the Dry Port.
The aim is to maintain the momentum and boost Dubai's foreign trade, which has reached 2 trillion dirhams in 2023.
Musabih highlighted that the digital services provided by Dubai Customs have become a global benchmark. Additionally, there is an emphasis on attracting foreign investments in the commercial sector. He confirmed that Dubai's customs centers are keeping pace with the strong recovery in non-oil foreign trade, tourism, and travel witnessed by the emirate. He stressed the necessity of exerting more efforts and continuously developing capabilities to meet the evolving needs of both traders and travelers.
