Dubai-based manufacturers participating in trade shows, fairs and exhibitions abroad will be exempted from paying certificate-of-origin fees and related certification expenses, according to a decision by the Executive Office of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI)'s Board of Directors. The ruling is effective immediately.
The decision is in line with Chamber plans to open up new international markets for Dubai-based business. The Dubai export sector is valued at 2.3 billion Emirati dirhams ($626 million), nearly 40 percent of the emirate's gross industrial product.
DCCI has helped organize a number of fairs and exhibitions abroad to promote local industry, especially in the Middle East and Arab World. For the first time recently, the Chamber participated in trade shows in India and West Africa. — (menareport.com)
