The Dubai Customs’ Passenger Operations Department made 1,037 confiscations in the first half of 2014, marking a growth of 23 per cent over the 843 seizures made during the same period last year.
The seized items include narcotic drugs, prohibited and restricted substances, fake documents, and arms and accessories.
Sultan bin Sulayem, Chairman of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), attributed all achievements made by the Dubai Customs to the “unwavering support” of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
