Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has inaugurated a new customs clearance facility at Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) in the United Arab Emirates. This development aims to streamline shipment clearance procedures for FedEx customers, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and convenience.

The facility will manage the clearance of packages shipped to and from RAKEZ using FedEx's express air and deferred road services, facilitating easier import and export processes. Taarek Hinedi, Vice President of FedEx Middle East and Africa Operations, expressed satisfaction with the launch, stating that it will enhance trade flow for local businesses while improving access to specialized logistics support. He added that "by providing customs clearance services in the free zone, we are not only helping businesses to reduce costs and save time but also allowing them to focus on their growth and expansion."

Ramy Jallad, Group CEO of RAKEZ, highlighted the strategic significance of this new facility. He remarked that it is a part of ongoing efforts to improve business support infrastructure within RAKEZ. "This facility will provide our businesses, particularly manufacturers, with streamlined customs processes and access to top-tier logistical solutions from FedEx," Jallad noted.
