Fast Tags can refer to logistics identifiers or electronic tags that help speed up transport, tolling, or border-related processes. In cross-border freight, FAST is commonly associated with the Free and Secure Trade programme, which supports expedited processing for approved low-risk commercial shipments and drivers. In road transport, FASTag may refer to an RFID toll-payment tag used by vehicles to pass toll plazas without stopping for manual payment. The exact meaning depends on the country, transport mode, and logistics context.
