Dubai: Dubai Customs has announced the activation of a “green corridor” between the emirate and the Sultanate of Oman for sea and air shipments, in cooperation with Oman’s General Administration of Customs.

The initiative is designed to enhance the smooth flow of trade and strengthen supply chains between the two sides by introducing faster and more efficient customs procedures.

Under the green corridor, shipment data will be submitted in advance, allowing goods to be cleared quickly upon arrival through approved channels under the green corridor framework.
