This addition aims to enhance trade logistics in the region by expanding the available infrastructure for import and export activities. The principal notification (No. 12/97) and its amendments provide a framework for identifying locations for customs operations across India. The last amendment to this notification was issued via Notification No. 78/2024-Customs (N.T.) on November 12, 2024. This latest update reflects the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs’ (CBIC) ongoing efforts to facilitate international trade by identifying and operationalizing new cargo handling points.
