The UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and Abu Dhabi Customs have signed an agreement establishing a digital integration framework. The partnership aims to streamline clearance and approvals for restricted hazardous petroleum materials. It also targets improved oversight of import, export, and transit shipments.
The General Administration of Abu Dhabi Customs received two awards at the Asian Innovation Excellence Awards 2026 for its Digital Trade Corridor and Tawqiei platform. The Digital Trade Corridor leverages blockchain and artificial intelligence to enable pre-arrival processing and faster clearance under a 'Submit Once, Use Many' model. The Tawqiei system, introduced in 2025, digitised document signing and administrative approvals across departments.
