<h1>India's Revenue Department Launches First National Time Release Study to Boost Cargo Movement Efficiency and Trade Flow.</h1> India's Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, is conducting its first national Time Release Study (TRS) from August 1-7 to enhance cargo movement efficiency across borders. This annual initiative, supported by the World Customs Organization, aims to identify and address procedural bottlenecks in trade flows. The TRS will standardize operations across 15 major ports, covering 81% of import and 67% of export transactions. By establishing baseline performance metrics, the study seeks to improve India's Ease of Doing Business ranking and benefit export-oriented industries and MSMEs. The Central Board of Indirect Tax and Customs leads the initiative.
