Abstract
The main objective of this article is to showcase the major activities/processes
each exporter/importer needs to go through in any land port, seaport or air-
port. The article looks into the processes, time taken during various processes,
the perceptions of stakeholders about the extent of challenges they face during
these processes and the logistics costs. Finally, the article provides a comparison
across exporting ports in terms of their efficiency in clearing cargo. However, we
have also attempted to measure of the efficiency of the port in terms of cargo
offloading.
