Indian Customs EDI Systems(ECIS)

The Indian Customs EDI System (ICES) is now operational at 23 major customs locations handling nearly 75% of India’s International trade in terms of import and export consignments. ICES has two major aspects :

i) Internal Automation of the Custom House for a comprehensive, paperless, fully automated customs clearance system that makes the functioning of Customs clearance transparent.
ii) Online, real-time electronic interface with the trade, transport and regulatory agencies concerned with customs clearance of import and export cargo.

ICES is designed to exchange/transact customs clearance electronically using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). A large number of documents that trade, transport and regulatory agencies (collectively called trading partners) are required to submit/receive in the process of live customs clearance are now being processed online.
