(MENAFN) Hussein Hachem, the chief executive of Dubai logistics company Aramex, said that custom rules of trade between Gulf Arab states should be adapted to cover the needs of the region’s e-commerce industry, according to Arabian Business.
Hachem commented that the current custom rules allow only small shipments if transported by air, which is expensive.
Hachem added: “The GCC customs union law does not address e-commerce. What we are calling for is an update.”
Online purchases in the GCC countries, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, were estimated at USD15 billion annually.
