Doha: Plans are afoot to connect Qatar's single window customs clearance system Al Nadeeb with other GCC states through GCC Information Center, a customs official has said.
Yousuf Ahmed Al Hammadi, Assistant Director of Land Customs Department at General Authority of Customs (GAC), said about 700 vehicles cross the Abu Samra border crossing between the State of Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia daily.
“Abu Samra border crossing has witnessed a growing number of vehicles and passengers crossing since its reopening in mid of January 2021,” Al Hammadi said. Speaking in a Qatar TV programme, Al Hammadi said the crossing rate of vehicles (entry and exit) at Abu Samra before Eid Al Adha was recorded at 650 to 700 vehicles daily.
“During Eid Al Adha vacation, the number of vehicles doubled to 1,200 per day.” He said GAC is using the most advanced technologies and system to facilitate the vehicles movements at the border crossing.
“New systems will be launched at the Abu Samra border crossing in the coming period to further enhance the operation,” Al Hammadi added.
He said the single window customs clearance system Al Nadeeb connects all departments and systems concerned.
