Customs Dept launches three digital initiatives at ICD Tughlakabad, Delhi

These are: online facility for scheduling examination of import cargo, scanner for non-intrusive examination of unaccompanied baggage, and customs clearance work on Sunday and public holidays

The Customs department has initiated three digital initiatives at the inland container depot (ICD) at Tughlakabad in the national capital.

It has launched an online facility for scheduling examination of import cargo to expedite clearance of inbound shipment.

The facility is aimed at minimising the physical interface of trade with the customs department, the finance ministry said in a statement here.

With this, customs, CONCOR, customs brokers and importers will have a shared view of scheduling examination of goods on the same platform.

The ICD will also have a baggage scanner which will result in non-intrusive examination of unaccompanied baggage while ensuring swifter clearances.
