The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the General Authority of Customs for the introduction of Al Nadeeb, the single-window system for customs clearance.
The MoU was signed by public security Staff Director General Maj Gen Saad bin Jassim al-Khulaifi and General Authority of Customs chairman Ahmad bin Ali al-Mohannadi yesterday in the presence of a number of directors of MoI departments.
Al-Khulaifi said the MoU would strengthen co-operation between the two sides and would help provide better electronic services related to customs clearance for all sectors in the state, including the MoI.
Al-Mohannadi said the Al Nadeeb system would help unify customs procedures and facilitate complete customs clearance in less than 15 minutes, in addition to promoting and facilitating integration with government agencies working in the security and economic fields and other bodies related to customs clearance.
The approvals can be granted electronically through the system and will provide clients with a facility for online follow-up of Customs clearance transactions from anywhere in the world.
He added that the authority has signed MoUs with other government agencies, which help exchange data and important information for Customs procedures.
The co-operation with MoI will have a clear imprint in terms of expediting procedures. Besides, it is a fundamental pillar of the e-government project, Hukoomi, working within the framework of the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.
