ACTL forays into ICES 1.5
Associated Container Terminals
Ltd (ACTL), in keeping with its tradition of entering any field first, has now
forayed into the functionality of online transmission.
Filing of shipping bills with
regard to DEPB, DES and EPCG to the Directorate-General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)
can now be done at ACTL under ICES 1.5.
ACTL opened the first private
inland container depot (ICD) in North India, and was the first to introduce
Garment on Hanger (GoH) concept, etc.
This development comes close on
the heels of the successful migration to ICES 1.5, offering the trade continued
and upgraded IT infrastructure.
The many advantages of online transmission of
shipping bills include faster processing, no waiting queues, no requirement of
physical presence and, therefore, quicker and cheaper cargo clearance.
