              To promote “ease of doing business” in India, the Customs Department has implemented different programs such as ICEGATE and E-Sanchit, which will automate different operations and eliminate paper processing. Less paper processing means less human intervention and increased transparency. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
