The workshop showcased Abu Dhabi Customs' advanced digital ecosystem, highlighting its cutting-edge technical capabilities in managing customs operations. These include a smart, integrated infrastructure that provides around-the-clock customs services, in conjunction with the invisible customs ecosystem, blockchain technologies, and government service platforms such as TAMM and ATLP. Key technical topics discussed included system integration between both countries, mechanisms for data exchange, and streamlined customs procedures. These discussions were held within the framework of the MAITRI initiative, a middleware platform designed to interconnect with various national systems to facilitate international trade. The initiative serves governmental bodies, customs authorities, importers, exporters, and logistics service providers, aiming to establish a secure and fully digital trade corridor. This would enable faster customs clearance, improved transparency and compliance, enhanced trade fluidity, and a reduction in transaction time and cost between the two sides.
