Frequently Asked Questions

How does non-intrusive scanning differ from traditional customs inspections?

Is the radiation used in non-intrusive scanning safe?

Yes, the NICS system uses low-radiation X-ray technology that adheres to international safety standards to ensure the well-being of port staff and the safety of the cargo.

How does the scanning process impact customs clearance times?

The NICS system significantly reduces clearance times by eliminating the need for manual inspections, which leads to faster, more efficient customs processing for importers and exporters.

Who can access the scan data?

Only authorized customs and security personnel have access to the data collected by the NICS system, maintaining the confidentiality and security of trade data.

How long does it take for a container to be scanned?

The non-intrusive scanning process is quick, with each container scan typically taking only a few seconds to complete. This rapid processing speed allows for continuous, high-volume scanning without delays, ensuring an efficient flow of cargo through the port.

How does non-intrusive scanning support accurate tax and duty assessments?

By providing clear and accurate images of container contents, the NICS system helps customs officials verify that all items in a shipment match the declared goods. This transparency helps ensure that duties and taxes are correctly assessed, reducing the likelihood of undervaluation and protecting government revenue.
