Inland Clearance Depot (ICD)

An Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) is a logistical facility situated inland, typically near ports or border crossings, designed to handle the temporary storage, consolidation, inspection, and customs clearance of cargo. It serves as a pivotal point in the supply chain, facilitating the transition of goods between different modes of transportation.

Facilitating Efficient Customs Clearance

ICDs play a crucial role in expediting customs procedures by providing a designated inland location for inspections and clearances. This strategic positioning enhances the efficiency of the customs clearance process, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the supply chain.
