2/19/24, 1:45 PM           Dubai Municipality to review integrated digital programs and services at Gulfood 2024 - Middle East News 247
        IRS System for Import, Export, and Registration Services


        Dubai Municipality will further review its services for food merchants and suppliers, which

        offers them access to IRS to streamline import and export procedures and track food

        products. In addition, the Municipality will also promote practices that minimize food loss and
        waste in the Emirate during its participation at the event, in addition to increasing customer

        understanding of the regulations, processes, and transactions associated with food

        shipments.


        The customer’s journey with IRS entails several steps, including securing license, registering

        the company on the Municipality’s website, evaluating food products, submitting import

        application on the import and export system, requesting the arrival of the shipment at the port
        of entry, and transporting it to the port control office for inspection and release.



        Furthermore, it includes staff members’ receipt and inspection of the shipment, the release of

        the shipment from the port, its arrival at the importer’s warehouse, the collection of samples,
        the laboratory inspection of the product, and ultimately the product’s access to the local

        market.


        Dubai Municipality is committed to developing programs and launching initiatives to

        strengthen Dubai’s food sector and achieve self-sufficiency and food security. The

        Municipality constantly monitors the food sector to guarantee that the Emirate has access to
        the best materials and products of high food safety and quality.
