About The Program
The Fast Track 2.0 is an iterative evolution of the existing Fast Track program which has been implemented by the NCS since 2013.
The distinguishing features of Fast Track 2.0 are enumerated below:
- Transparent and auditable trade facilitation program which is centered on risk-based evaluation.
- Reduced physical inspections.
- Enhanced compliance aimed to improve trade facilitation and ease of doing business.
The scope of FT 2.0 is being expanded from existing manufacturers, homogenous goods importers and spare parts importers to all importers, subject to fulfillment of compliance and eligibility criteria as set out in the program design, with NCS retaining the final authority for approval of any company to participate in FT2.0.
