ICEGATE Registration — Your Gateway to Electronic Customs Filing.
ICEGATE is the Indian customs department's electronic filing portal — required for importers, exporters, and customs brokers to file shipping bills and bills of entry directly. We handle registration and setup.
Contact UsICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange Gateway) is the CBIC's portal through which importers, exporters, and customs brokers electronically file bills of entry, shipping bills, and other customs documents, and track clearance status in real time. Registration on ICEGATE is what allows an entity to file these documents directly rather than routing every transaction through a customs broker, and is also required to access services like e-Sanchit (electronic document upload) and IGST refund status tracking.
Registration requires a valid Import Export Code (IEC), a registered digital signature certificate for authentication, and bank account details for duty payment and refund processing. Once registered, the entity can file customs documents, respond to queries raised by customs officers electronically, and track shipment clearance status without intermediary delay.
We handle the registration process including DSC registration with ICEGATE, IEC linkage, and bank account mapping, and advise on which additional ICEGATE services (like AD Code registration for duty drawback) the business should also complete depending on its import/export profile.
