  "account": "Dubai Customs has extended the suspension of customs duties for eligible customs declarations by another 60 days, extending the total period to 180 days. This measure aims to alleviate financial and administrative burdens on businesses, particularly as they navigate current operational challenges. The extension applies to customs duty suspension arrangements that were set to expire between February 27, 2026, and October 31, 2026. It covers imports intended for re-export, temporary admission, and all types of transit. The additional 60-day period will commence from the expiration date of the original suspension period. Dubai Customs may further extend the period based on its approved rules and procedures. The new measure will remain in force until a subsequent Customs announcement terminates it. This move is intended to provide greater support to customers, reduce the financial and administrative burdens, and ensure the continuity of supply chains. The extension builds upon Customs Announcement No. 12 of 2026, which extended the suspension period to 120 days for eligible arrangements whose periods were set to expire between February 27 and July 31, 2026. These measures have injected Dh79 million in liquidity into businesses and facilitated a Dh33.9 billion trade flow, according to Dubai Customs.",
