An export processing centre and Gate Module have been launched by the Customs Department at ICTT Vallarpadam for speedy export clearance. The´Customs Export Processing Centre´ (CEPC) and Gate Module of the Indian Customs EDI System (ICES) were inaugurated by JM Shanthi Sundharam, Member, Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), at a function in Kochi. The Directorate of Systems and CBEC have developed the Gate Module specifically for ICTT for the efficient and fast clearance of containers.
