Challenge

The Textiles Committee faced challenges in managing the import clearance testing process for textile consignments referred by Customs. Manual workflows led to delays, lack of transparency, and limited traceability, impacting compliance and efficiency.

Solution

Logicsoft International Pvt Ltd implemented a Lab Module (LIMS) as part of the Import Clearance System. This digital platform streamlined the end-to-end testing process, ensuring:

• Automated Data Integration: Bill of Entry and Test Memo data received directly from Customs ICEGATE.
• Digital Workflow: From scrutiny of test memos to final report issuance.
• Integrated Payment Gateway: For testing fee calculation and online payment.
• Sample Traceability: Unique 15-digit Sample ID for every sample.
• Real-Time Dashboards: Visibility into pending actions, payments, and reports.
• Electronic Report Transmission: NABL or non-NABL reports sent back to Customs digitally.

Key Features

• Role-based access for Lab Administrator, Lab In-Charge, and Lab Analyst.
• Structured process flow: Scrutiny → Payment → Sample Receipt → Testing → Verification → Report Issuance.
• Administrative controls for lab management and user creation.
• Exportable reports for compliance and audit readiness.

Impact

• 100% Digital Workflow: Eliminated manual handling and paperwork.
• Improved Transparency: Real-time status tracking for Customs and importers.
• Enhanced Compliance: Audit-ready system aligned with NABL standards.
• Faster Turnaround: Reduced delays in import clearance testing.

Why It Matters

This initiative strengthens quality control and compliance in textile imports, supporting India’s trade ecosystem with a secure, efficient, and transparent digital process.
