On the inaugural day of GITEX Technology Week 2021, Dubai Customs launched I-Box smart lockers for storing commercial items or valuable cargo carried on by inbound transit passengers.
Travelers can keep their valuable goods in the lockers at the airport customs center on arrival without paying duty and collect them through self-clearance service on departure from the country.
The I-Box smart lockers project has cut down the processing time for delivery of valuable items from 30 minutes to 1 minute only, Dubai Customs said in a statement.
The passenger can simply scan the QR code on the locker and use the OTP code sent to his phone number to unlock the locker and pay storage fees online without any paperwork.
These fireproof lockers boast high-end security systems and are easy to move from one place to another within the airport terminals.
Dubai Customs is taking part in this year’s GITEX under the theme “Digital Trade for Safe, Sustainable Supply Chains”, presenting eight cutting-edge smart initiatives.
