Dubai Customs Temporarily Extends Transit Period to 90 Days for Supply Chain Continuity

Dubai Customs Notice No. 05/2026 temporarily extends the transit period for goods to 90 days from customs clearance to exit post, effective 31 March 2026.
The extension applies only to Transit Customs Declarations to support supply chain continuity amid operational challenges.
Further extensions beyond 90 days may be requested and are subject to Dubai Customs’ approval.
All other customs policies and tax laws remain unchanged, except where directly conflicting with this notice.
The measure is temporary and will remain in effect until further notice; businesses should adjust their planning accordingly.
