Doha: Qatar strengthened its land cargo connectivity with nearly 75 countries through the international TIR system while introducing measures to facilitate customs procedures for suppliers and traders, Qatar Television reported.

Providing facilitation for suppliers and traders is a fundamental pillar of Qatar’s customs work system, with authorities continuing efforts to simplify procedures and accelerate clearance processes, according to the report.

The measures aim to ensure smoother movement of goods through various ports, particularly amid challenges affecting transport and shipping services under current regional circumstances.

Currently, most shipments are being transported by land using the Transit or TIR system through the land border with Saudi Arabia.
