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)
