Ports of entry serve as designated crossing points into UAE territory via air, land or sea, strictly regulating the flow of travelers, cargo, and conveyances.
Key Ports:
- Airports welcoming passengers on international flights using modern facilities.
- Land and sea terminals efficiently clearing commercial and private vessel immobilization.
Example:
Abu Dhabi’s Mafraq port streamlines customs inspections of heavy haulage trucks transporting construction materials from GCC neighbors.
Oversight Role:
Comprehensive screening at ports of entry by customs and immigration authorities protects national security while facilitating legitimate movement of people and trade critical to economic ambitions through prudent policies uniformily administered with cultural sensitivity.
