GAZİANTEP
Türkiye is overhauling its customs gates along the Syrian border, integrating artificial intelligence and upgrading physical infrastructure to transition to a digitized, faster trade corridor, a top customs official has said.
Speaking at a panel titled “A New Era in Production, Export and Customs” during the Anadolu Agency City Economies Summit on June 9, Director General of Customs Mustafa Gümüş outlined plans to modernize border checkpoints to meet the demands of a changing logistical landscape following the political shifts in Syria.
“We are working to make practices at the gates more modern and digital,” Gümüş said, adding that customs sit at the very center of foreign trade and logistics operations.
