About the Training

The National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes, and Narcotics (NACIN) recently hosted the SASEC Capacity Building Workshop on Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) from December 2–4, 2024, at its Palasamudram campus. This three-day event brought together customs officials from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, along with experts from ADB and CBIC. The workshop focused on enhancing knowledge and skills in NII technologies, including X-ray cargo scanning, risk profiling, illicit drug trafficking trends, and advanced image analysis techniques. Hands-on sessions, case studies, and insights from global best practices emphasized the critical role of NII in modern customs operations, fostering cross-border collaboration and capacity building among SASEC nations.
