The customs have existed in the UAE for more than one hundred years (as per FCA website). Going through several phases, the customs took the institutional shape in the age of the late Sheikhs H. H. Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and H. H. Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai. In the first half of 2002, the UAE Cabinet approved 2 decrees 617/7 of 2001G and 157/12 of 2002G assigning the then Ministry of Finance and Industry to hire an international consulting office to offer recommendations on creating a federal customs authority and authorizing the ministry to follow up on the execution of the procedures and measures needed. The UAE has topped the world in the Efficiency of Customs Procedures Index as per the Global Competitiveness Yearbook 2017 published by IMD World Competitiveness Center. The index gauges the efficiency of customs authorities of 63 countries around the world. It’s determined by surveying an audience of businessmen and institutions about their experience with the customs authorities services in the area of shipping. The rankings are based on efficiency of resource management, with businessmen accounting for 33.3 percent of the audience and the rest is based on 346 indicators.
