Discussion on the Operations and Challenges of Cargo and Postal Service Providers

In the regular meeting of the Technical Committee of the Economic Commission, held on August 26, 2024, at Marmarin Palace, discussions took place regarding the operations and challenges of cargo and postal service providers, as well as several other topics. After thorough discussion, it was decided that cargo companies are obligated not to transport items weighing less than 46 kilograms under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Failure to adhere to this weight limit will result in legal action by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Additionally, postal service providers were also instructed that, under the supervision of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, they are not to transport items weighing more than 46 kilograms. If they exceed this weight limit, legal action will be taken by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. Furthermore, a joint committee, composed of representatives from the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Office, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, was tasked with drafting the Postal Services Law under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice. This law will be processed through the Economic Commission and presented for approval to the leadership of the Islamic Emirate. This proposal was sent to the Economic Commission for final decision-making.
