Equipping the sea customs centers with advanced devices is one of Abu Dhabi Customs’ strategic projects, aiming to meet the needs of all customs ports, enhance performance efficiency, and speed up inspection processes, which positively impacts the smooth transit of goods, facilitates trade movement, and supports sustainable economic development.
Mubarak Matar Al Mansoori, Executive Director of the Operations Sector at Abu Dhabi Customs, affirmed that this project is a continuation of Abu Dhabi Customs’ efforts to strengthen the inspection system, following January’s successful implementation of advanced devices at Al Ain’s land customs centers.
