Musabih and Byat...at the signing

Dubai Customs in deal to create process efficiency at d3

DUBAI, January 20, 2015

Dubai Customs has signed a deal with Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority (DTMFZA), on behalf of Dubai Design District (d3), to establish a framework of programmes to create efficiency of customs processes at the soon-to-be-launched design community.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, director of Dubai Customs, and Ahmad Bin Byat, director general of DTMFZA.

Unlike any other free zone in Dubai, d3 has a significant retail element and therefore, has been designed to attract consumers to shop at the site, said a statement.

As a result, Dubai Customs has a significant part to play in helping d3 achieve their growth ambitions through the effective management of imported and exported goods to ensure the efficiency of customs processes, it said.

The MoU will lead to Dubai Customs having a permanent presence at d3 to service all immediate enquiries to customers to interact with all relevant government services, making the process of setting up and operating at d3 simple and efficient.

It will also facilitate the development of a wide range of training programmes designed to enable employees of both d3 and customs to expedite customs procedures and promote free trade.

These training programmes will also encourage the exchange of expertise and institutional experiences between each entity and facilitate case studies related to the work of both parties for future use and analysis.

”We are proud of the strategic partnership with DTMFZA. In pursuance of the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, towards driving the UAE to the lead in all areas, Dubai Customs pays utmost attention to supporting pioneering projects launched by Dubai,” said Musabih.

“We are keen to have a permanent presence at d3 to avail customs services for the good of design industry, meeting the needs of FZ companies working in the sector,” he added.

“To develop a fully integrated community, it is vital that Dubai Design District establishes a solid and innovative framework of procedures that simplify activities such as Customs. In doing so, the site will become a true hub of activity and will enable us to attract further design-related entities to base themselves at what we hope will become the ‘centre of design’ for the region,” said Byat.

“I am delighted to be part of this partnership and hope that the relationship between Dubai Customs and d3 continues to thrive, well into the future,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
