improve services in Dubai

The first MoU sets the
coordination and development
of linking the electronic

facilitate the exchange
of information regarding
registered companies and
facilitate the transaction for
permits and other approvals.
The second MoU sets the
agreement which will allow
Dubai South’s Sales Force
system with Dubai Customs’
Mirsal II system to facilitate
issuance, collection and
transfer of documents
pertaining to the entry and
exit of local and imported
goods as well as provide
mutual support to achieve
common objectives. A quarter of a century after opening the first
distribution centre in the Middle East, GAC
