Dubai: The Postal Sector Regulatory Committee has approved regulatory and financial measures aimed at easing burdens on companies in the UAE’s postal and express delivery sector, thereby supporting operational stability and service continuity.
According to Emirates News Agency, the measures include deferring first-quarter 2026 fees to the second quarter and waiving related penalties. This move is expected to provide immediate liquidity support amid rising costs, shipment delays, and increasing operational pressures faced by companies in the sector.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the initiative reflects the UAE’s approach to flexible regulation, which supports vital sectors and reinforces their role in supply chains, retail, and e-commerce. He emphasized that the decision followed consultations with licensed companies and relevant entities to address current challenges and support business continuity.
The Committee highlighted that these measures are particularly beneficial to small and medium-sized enterprises, enabling them to meet obligations and maintain service quality. Mohammed Khalid bin Sulaiman, Executive Director of the Regulatory and Licensing Sector, noted that the approach balances regulatory requirements with market needs and aims to help companies sustain operations efficiently.
The Committee has reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing the readiness and competitiveness of the UAE’s postal and logistics sector, ensuring it remains a vital component of the nation’s economic infrastructure.
