Border Clearance Process

The Border Clearance is a highly regulated process governed by the norms and policies laid down by the Government from time to time. Since this process is controlled by the Government departments, with change in policies and norms, the process undergoes a periodic change. Though there are defined policies and norms for the process, frequent change to these makes it complicated and difficult to adhere to these.

 

Challenges

In the absence of an automated system, the process is executed manually which gives rise to human errors while making the process time consuming. The Customs Department which is responsible for clearing imports, offers a very small service window during which the agencies handling imports can have their goods cleared. Further to adherence to the policies and norms, there is complex documentation involved and specific file formats required for clearing the goods through the customs systems.

The system automates the process of generation of files in specific formats as required by the Customs Systems. The system is capable of taking up file formats generated by the customers’ existing systems and process these files for output generation.
