Paperless clearance - Dubai Customs initiative
Speaking at a conference yesterday on the "role in enhancing the performance and building the capacity to move from the normal clearance to the paperless environment of the e-clearance", Dubai Customs Director General, Mr. Ahmed Butti Ahmed said,
++ Dubai Customs, as a government agency, has a task in securing the supply chain, since a disrupted supply chain has a direct effect on the economy and risks the lives of citizens.
++ Dubai Customs are enhancing the performance and capacity building for the purpose of moving from normal clearance to the paperless environment while establishing a real partnership between Dubai Customs and the private sector based on the common responsibility and cooperation contributing in common goals achievements and consolidating the economic growth of Dubai.
++ Customs are now using modern technology which can provide the possibility to rapidly pick up information from their databases while providing eligible customers with a level of service which recognizes their past record and future intention to remain compliant with Customs requirements .By alleviating Customs involvement in low risk transactions, it also allows Customs resources to concentrate on transactions of higher, or unknown, risk.
++ We are keen to organize our customers' transactions by presenting a wide range of services in conformity with our legal framework to assure a mutual benefit for both parties, helping them to reach their common goals and assuring their voluntary compliance to the Common Customs Law which is working on opening channels of cooperation between Customs and UAE business sector
The whole world is now thinking of "Supply Chain" - the continuous linking of activities that take place for the systematic movement of goods from the place of origin to the place of destination.
Where are we?
