One of the most discussed topics at Multimodal 2024 was the future of customs clearance, particularly the hybrid model. A thought-provoking presentation on this subject highlighted the potential of integrating traditional customs procedures with advanced technologies to streamline and expedite the clearance process.
The Future of Hybrid Customs Clearance
The presentation underscored several key points:
1. Efficiency and Speed: Hybrid customs clearance combines human expertise with automation, reducing processing times and errors.
2. Cost-Effectiveness: By minimising delays and improving accuracy, businesses can significantly cut down on operational costs.

This innovative approach is poised to transform customs operations, making them more agile and responsive to the dynamic demands of global trade.
