The Ionscan 500DT can also detect as little drugs or explosives as one nanogram -- which is one billionth of a gram -- according to Mohammad Juma Nasser Buossaiba, Director-General of the UAE Federal Customs Authority.
"The highly sensitive scanner, equipped with HD touchscreen, is one of many other advanced equipment the authority has provided the Dubai Customs with in order to tightly secure all the crossing borders of the emirate."
The new devices are in line with a memorandum of understanding signed recently between the UAE Federal Customs Authority and Dubai Customs.
"The Federal Customs Authority will also provide training to Dubai Customs staff on how to use the new devices, apart from the regular maintenance."
The agreement is also part of the new responsibilities in control and inspection given to the Authority under law (8) in 2015, Buossaiba stated.
"Supporting all local customs departments is a priority and to help them integrate will help boost security and facilitate trade further."
Borders and entries worldwide, and in the Arab World in particular, are facing increasing challenges, he underlined.
"Smugglers are innovating new ways and this poses customs apparatuses big challenges."
Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General of the Dubai Customs, said the new devices will help upgrade and advance customs standards and practices.
"The new devices will sustain security further at all national customs entries, with the region witnessing more turbulences and challenges," he said. "Advanced technology can help maintain security and protect its valued assets."
