UAE pushes digitalisation


The United Arab Emirates has become the first country in the Gulf Cooperation Council region to move forward on digitalising the TIR system.

 

At a ceremony held in Dubai and virtually, a memorandum of understanding was signed in the presence of representatives of the UAE’s Federal Customs Authority, of the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE and the International Road Union (IRU).

 

According to IRU, TIR has proven to be an excellent trade facilitation tool in the GCC region, with its use reducing waiting times at borders by up to 92% and improving customs security while providing the required guarantee for custom taxes and duties. (ben)
