Customers will be able to request services, process applications and check status of inquires already forwarded.  The new services were unveiled at the Dubai Customs Head Office by Director of Dubai Customs Mr. Ahmad Mahboob Musabih.

The upgrades to the app were considered to be necessary to ensure it was at par with latest technology trends. The customers will be facilitated further with the addition of new value added features.

Speaking on this occasion, Bin Sulayem said that the re-launch of services was just a small step towards Dubai Custom’s transition to a smart government department. The department aims to further improve its quality of service to maximize level of customer satisfaction achieved.

The new updates also focus on re-launch of a more mobile friendly website and ensure availability of this service on smart watches.
