Sultan Saif Al Suwaidi, Director of Air Cargo Centres Management, said, “The customs centres under the Air Cargo Centres Management perform well to keep up with the growing external trade and the continuous expansion in e-commerce operations.

“Dubai Customs ensures all the management systems are updated and ready to cope with the increasing number of customs transactions, while maintaining top quality services to our clients.

“This will encourage businesses to increase their commercial activity in Dubai, being a global hub for trade and investment.”

“We continuously develop our performance by equipping our centres with the latest equipment and technologies, and training our inspectors and staff following the latest trends in the field.

“These best practices help our clients increase their revenues and help us keep up with the rapid shift in global trade towards e-commerce”.

Airborne goods need to be delivered at destination quickly, which requires speedy and agile customs service, while maintaining security to ensure no prohibited goods enter the country.
