REPORT BY WTO SECRETARIAT (WT/TPR/S/249): III TRADE POLICIES AND PRACTICES BY MEASURE: (2) MEASURES DIRECTLY AFFECTING IMPORTS: (i) Customs Procedures (a) Registration and documentation:
The Secretariat report notes in paragraph 16, page 38 that Customs clearance times have fallen from 41 days in 2007 to 20 days. The introduction of EDI electronic data interchange and RMS are noted as two initiatives to make the system more efficient.
Could India describe any other initiatives the Indian Government has introduced since 2007 that may have also contributed to reducing Customs clearance times?
