<h1>Trade facilitation reforms accelerate cross border clearance, reducing time and cost through digital single window and paperless processes.</h1> Enhanced inter ministerial coordination, a National Trade Facilitation Action Plan, and digitization unified and streamlined cross border clearance. Core measures included a Customs Single Window (SWIFT), ICEGATE upgrades, paperless filing via eSANCHIT, and a revamped Authorised Economic Operator program enabling deferred duty for trusted traders. Operational steps such as Direct Port Delivery, RFID self sealing, advance filing, e delivery orders, and terminal evacuation improvements reduced dwell time and cost, with Time Release Studies and a logistics databank verifying shorter actual clearance times.
