The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry yesterday hosted a workshop at its premises to provide an overview of customs law in the UAE, and best practices for managing efficient customs processes in the country.

The event was attended by Dubai Chamber members, lawyers and legal professionals, business owners and executives, as well as representatives from shipping agencies and brokers, clearing and forwarding agencies, and logistics companies.

Speaking on the occasion, Jehad Kazim, Director of Dubai Chamber’s Legal Services Department, said, "Trade facilitation has emerged as an important issue as countries around the world seek to streamline custom clearance procedures. The UAE is at the forefront of driving this change, so it is imperative that businesses in the country are aware of the latest regulatory developments, policies, procedures and requirements."
