The Customs Affairs has implemented the advanced stage of the Customs Single Window (OFOQ2), an electronic portal that serves customs work and related government operations. The system aims to facilitate legitimate trade, enhance
electronic integration, and enable the exchange of information, positioning the Kingdom of Bahrain as a leading customs and logistics hub.
The project enhances digital customs transactions, electronic integration, and data exchange among public electronic systems within customs. It includes all relevant electronic services and enables partner regulatory authorities to perform their tasks and monitor their performance indicators electronically. The system reduces paper transactions and diversifies service provision methods, aligning with the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s efforts to reduce expenses and increase productivity.
