A smart inspection device that features 3D CT scanning has been launched by the Dubai Customs to keep abreast with the latest technologies.

Abdullah Mohammed Al Khaja, executive director of clients management division, launched the new device at the Um Al Rumool post office. "The advanced technology incorporated in this new device will be a turning point in the inspection field and will significantly support the Dubai Customs inspection officers in their work."

The Dubai Customs is set to spend Dh79 million between 2018 and 2021 to purchase and develop new systems that support its vision to lead the world in legitimate trade, he said. "This budget will also help us protect the society and sustain economic development through compliance, facilitation and innovation."

There are 944 inspection systems used by the Dubai Customs, he added. "These include six container scanning systems, 24 small shipment scanning systems, 23 drug and explosives detectors, four big shipments scanningsystems, and 700 radioactivity detectors, plus 187 communication devices."
