Public institutions must now process customs-related transactions through Mesob, a new electronic platform introduced to reduce manual procedures in government trade operations. The Customs Commission has directed the institutions to use the platform for customs clearance, transit processing, import and export procedures, transaction verification, and related services. Mesob became operational for public institutions on July 20, 2026, for customs services. Institutions must complete internal preparations for the transition, including assigning focal persons to manage customs transactions and coordinate with customs offices. The Commission expects Mesob to reduce paperwork, shorten processing times, and improve access to transaction records. The centralised system is also intended to strengthen coordination between public institutions and customs authorities. The rollout forms part of the Commission's broader effort to modernise customs administration and expand technology-based public services. Its gradual shift towards digital operations is intended to improve transparency, consistency and service delivery across government institutions.
