In alignment with Dubai’s ecommerce strategy objectives aiming to position the emirate as a global logistics hub for cross-border e-commerce operations, Dubai Customs has signed cooperation framework agreements on the sidelines of Gitex Technology Week with Dubai Airport Freezone (Dafza), Dubai CommerCity, and Dubai South to leverage their e-commerce capabilities and boost the growth of this business sector in Dubai.
Under these agreements, the partner entities will be able to use and integrate various Dubai Customs services and benefits available on
its cross-border e-commerce platform.
The Dubai Customs’ recently launched Cross-Border E-Commerce Platform uses blockchain technology to integrate and automate operations between customs, free zones, logistics, and courier companies.
It is the first of its kind in the region, and aims to help the emirate become a global hub for e-commerce, and encourage e-commerce companies to set up business operations in Dubai.
