IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the network of interconnected devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that enable them to collect and exchange data. This network allows for seamless communication and interaction between physical objects and digital systems. 

In Customs operations, IoT solutions are revolutionizing cargo tracking and inspection processes. Electronic seals enable real-time monitoring of cargo, enhancing security and reducing the risk of tampering. Moreover, interconnected inspection equipment such as X-ray scanners and optical character recognition devices streamline inspection procedures, improving efficiency and accuracy in Customs clearance.
