About

The Inspections module supports the management and coordination of regulatory inspections for cargo moving through the port. It is integrated with the PCS to track when an inspection is required and to update the status once completed.

This module ensures that inspection requests, approvals, and outcomes are processed electronically and made visible to all authorized stakeholders. It helps reduce delays by allowing faster communication between Customs, regulatory agencies, and terminal operators.
