“Our Centre’s initiatives target the wellness and happiness of our employees to help develop their performance. The electronic lead procedure is an example of this, which helped with a faster clearance of shipments. At the same time, Dubai Customs engages clients in different initiatives organised by the Centre to know their needs and serve them better,” he added.

the Dubai Customs’ Logistics City Centre provides its continuous support to facilitate processes and operations of companies and traders, and in particular in the shipments of the International Humanitarian City.

These efforts have a great impact on the arrival of humanitarian aid and supplies in record time to countries in need due to global crises, in addition to accelerating the completion of procedures for e-commerce companies, which witnessed a significant increase in demand during the past years.
