India starts 24/7 customs clearance service for all airports, seaports

New Delhi: India’s Central Board of Excise and Customs has issued a circular regarding the extension of 24/7 Customs clearance facility to more airports for all export goods and to seaports for specified import and export goods here the other day.

This was the promise made by Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget 2014-15 speech in the beginning of July 2014.

He had said that exports could not be increased unless all stakeholders played an active role in export promotion by providing good infrastructure and full facilitation.

“It will be our endeavor to engage with the states to take India’s exports to a higher growth trajectory. It is proposed to establish an Export promotion Mission to bring all stakeholders under one umbrella,” he had said.
