Successful entrepreneurs with cross-border operations understand the importance of complying with local and international trade and customs taxes and tariffs to avoid unexpected indirect costs. As a signing member of the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement and the GCC Unified Common Customs Law, and given its geographic location and economic opportunities, Qatar is becoming a favorable destination for many multi-national corporations and as the country thrives, local businesses are increasingly expanding their operations regionally and globally.
