1.1. Purpose

while interacting with Customs Mirsal-2 application.
1.2. Guidelines
For easy interaction with Mirsal-2 functions, the following guidelines are listed below:
Dubai Customs will introduce totally paperless trading including collection and release
recognizing that provision needs to be made for private importers.
Customs is a validating authority for the declared information and not the information
provider.
Process common across all transport modes and locations will be standardized.
Co-operation network for information exchange between cargo custodians and Dubai
Customs should be at least to the level for recognizing and accounting for cargo
entering and leaving Dubai.
Declaration Process should be developed recognizing the potential to implement in the
UAE and the GCC.
Any documents produced as part of declaration should be retained.
Customs will base their operating premise on the management of information
supported by appropriate risk management Techniques.
There should be improvement to level of Transparency to stakeholders.
International standards and guidelines will be recognized and followed except where
they contradict the needs of Dubai, the UAE and the GCC.
The Customs Broker will be responsible for the verification of exemptions, permits and
related supporting documents.
The information provided will be validated for format and information content
depending on the type and purpose of the declaration.
Alternatively, the declaration is rejected for non-compliance to SAD standards and
other Dubai Customs policies.
Declarant needs to take corrective actions if requested by Customs for further
processing of the declaration.
Optionally, the Declarant provides authorization from the relevant controlling
authority(s) for restricted/prohibited goods.
All charges will be settled through the credit account/standing guarantee account or e-
payment facilities provided by Customs.
Account owner needs to maintain the availability of required balances in the credit
account facilities.
Alternatively, the declaration is suspended from clearance when the funding is
insufficient against the selected mode of payment.
All declarations will be risk assessed; an inspection case can be raised if the
consignment is perceived to present a risk.
Risk identified declarations may be handled through the Inspection Unit (for physical
inspection) or any other Customs units like Valuation, Tariff, Origin, IPR etc depending
on the risk.
Declaration will be kept under Hold till the identified risk is analyzed and mitigated.
Declarant and the involved parties (Importer / Exporter / Broker) will be notified on
the status of the declaration electronically.
Clearance or Hold / Detain messages will be notified electronically to the cargo
custodian.
