Exemplifying Dubai's remarkable readiness and agility in responding to developments impacting regional and global trade flows, Dubai Customs announced exceptional results and highlighted notable successes achieved by its 'Green Corridor' initiative since its activation last March in cooperation with Oman Customs.
Since its launch, the initiative has helped ensure uninterrupted trade flows, bolstering supply chain resilience, and supporting business continuity, while also supporting market stability and safeguarding local food security.
Developed in close collaboration with customers and strategic partners, the initiative introduced a package of proactive customs solutions and trade facilitation measures designed to sustain the flow of goods via land routes between the UAE and Oman, thus enabling safe alternative channels for regional and international commerce.
Dubai Customs released key metrics for the Green Corridor for the period between March and April 2026, reflecting the immediate success of the initiative and the significant growth in shipment volumes and cargo value moving through alternative routes since its activation. The number of customs declarations processed through the corridor increased sharply during the period, while the total value of goods, including insurance and freight costs, rose substantially, demonstrating the effectiveness of Dubai's rapid-response trade solutions.
Customs declarations processed through the corridor rose from 12,000 in March 2026 to nearly 100,000 in April 2026. Meanwhile, the value of goods transported rose from AED1 billion to more than AED8 billion.
