The Manager of Solution Delivery at Dubai Customs Bader Al Kharoosi showcased Dubai Customs’ latest technologies and smart services, which are delivered to clients through multiple channels, including the DC portal, Dubai Trade, B2G, smartphones, smart watches and smart TV.

The Singaporean visitors watched a short film on Dubai Customs’ fully-integrated clearance system Mirsal2 and another on the mechanism of its Risk Engine. Moreover, a video on Dubai Customs’ IPR protection measures was played, depicting one of the IPR infringement seizures carried out by Dubai Customs and the annual IP Award for Schools and Universities.
