Course Overview
About the EXIM & Customs Compliance Analyst Programme
What this course is
A dual-skill programme combining export-import (EXIM) operations and customs compliance knowledge with applied data analytics — so you can both run trade operations and analyse them.
What you will learn
You learn the EXIM trade cycle, documentation, Incoterms and Indian customs procedures, then apply Excel, SQL and Python to real trade-operations problems: shipment cycle times, landed cost, duty analytics, compliance risk monitoring and management dashboards.
Why it matters
India's trade ecosystem is digitising rapidly — customs filings, DGFT schemes and logistics data all flow through digital systems. Professionals who understand both the compliance rules and the data those systems generate are rare and valuable.
Who it is designed for
Commerce and logistics students and graduates, professionals in freight forwarding, customs broking, EXIM documentation or supply chain roles, and analysts who want a trade-domain specialisation.
