Electronic Cargo Tracking System

Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS) was introduced as an enforcement tool designed to enable real-time tracking and monitoring of transit cargo from the point of entry to its final destination. This initiative aims to enhance security, safety, transparency, and accountability for consignments under Customs control, while also supporting regional trade promotion. Additionally, it serves as a mechanism to reduce tax evasion. Traders also gain significant advantages from the system, as it provides them with real-time updates on the location of their cargo (trucks). Launched in March 2017, Electronic Cargo Tracking System has enabled real-time monitoring of goods in transit. This has been observed to be a much more efficient e-solution in terms of cost and time since it uses the GPS/GPRS technology.
