Dubai – 16 Jan 2024: Dubai Customs is persistently advancing its journey by investing successfully in cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence, with the goal of delivering a seamless and pioneering customs experience for customers. Through the 'Munaseq' initiative, customers can effortlessly obtain the HS Code for their goods in just 10 seconds.
