These professionals and organizations play a pivotal role in ensuring that goods are transported, cleared and delivered seamlessly, while adhering to complex regulatory frameworks. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted roles, challenges, and opportunities within these industries. It delves into the intricacies of logistics management, customs clearance, and trade compliance, offering readers a holistic understanding of how these sectors operate in the Indian context.
