India is developing an advanced cargo information system inspired by the US advanced passenger information system. The system aims to enhance ease of doing business by allowing immediate customs clearance of imports with limited scrutiny. The system will provide Customs authorities with information on the contents and arrival time of cargo, enabling pre-clearance or hold decisions. Tests are already underway with the Maldives, and discussions are underway with countries including South Korea to expand the system. The initiative is part of efforts to improve trade facilitation and boost the country's customs framework.
