Khaleej Times: Dubai Customs has announced a 'Green Corridor' between the emirate and Oman for maritime and air shipments, in a bid to improve the flow of trade and support supply chains.

Shipments will now be diverted through Omani ports to Dubai through a streamlined route.

The procedure is set to work seamlessly with transit declarations first being submitted in Oman, under fast customs procedures, before the shipment is transferred through the Green Corridor.

Then, the shipping agent's seal will be applied to Green Corridor containers, verifying the integrity of the goods across inter-border ports until arrival in Dubai.

Once at the Hatta Border Crossing, the cargo manifest and bill of lading wil be submitted. Finally, shipments will proceed to customs clearance at the relevant centres.
