2/19/24, 1:47 PM Dubai Municipality to review integrated digital programmes, services at Gulfood 2024
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 minimise 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. (ANI/WAM)
