About ICEGATE Registration & AD Code
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
ICEGATE is the customs e-filing portal where importers, exporters and customs brokers file bills of entry, shipping bills and related documents. Registration needs an IEC and a digital signature certificate. Exporters must also register their bank's Authorised Dealer (AD) code with customs at every port they export from, so that shipping bills are linked to the bank for realisation of proceeds and export benefits.
Many exporters work through a customs broker who files for them, but ICEGATE registration still matters for tracking documents, paying duty online, and claiming refunds and drawback. AD code registration is mandatory before the first export from a port.
We complete ICEGATE registration, AD code registration at the relevant ports, and link the IEC, GST and bank details correctly.
