Such technique proved to be time and cost saving and in accordance with the goal of Dubai Government strategy in bringing happiness to clients. Our new-look web portal has been developed in conformity with Dubai m-Government standards and based on the feedback received from the clients and the public who were engaged through opinion surveys to find out their remarks, needs and exceptions vis-à-vis the website and the services being provided online.”
The chief officer of Customs Development Division also noted that the new website is an easily accessible, user friendly and fully integrated platform encompassing all customs’ smart services, procedures and activities, all of which gives Dubai Customs advantage in terms of operational efficiency.”
