The unified law, consisting of 25 articles, defines key terms and operational mechanisms. It seeks to regulate cross-border transport, enhance safety, and standardize operational standards. The law has been welcomed by transport and logistics sectors, which expect streamlined operations and reduced delays.
The law aligns with the GCC's charter and economic agreement. It serves as a model for future harmonization efforts in other areas.
