ICEGATE Registration
Registering your business on the Indian Customs Electronic Gateway so bills of entry, shipping bills and other customs documents can be filed and tracked online.
ICEGATE registration is the process of registering an Importer Exporter Code holder on the Indian Customs Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Gateway, operated by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, to electronically file customs documents such as bills of entry and shipping bills. Registration requires a valid IEC, a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate, and bank account details, and is completed on the ICEGATE portal.

Why ICEGATE setup needs to be right from the start
What sets our approach apart.
Customs clearance stalls without it
Goods cannot be cleared through Indian customs without an ICEGATE-registered entity filing the relevant electronic documents.
DSC mismatches cause filing rejections
A Digital Signature Certificate not correctly registered against the IEC holder is a common reason electronic filings get rejected.
Bank account errors delay refunds
Incorrect bank details on the ICEGATE profile can delay duty drawback and refund credits significantly.
