    Why is AD Code Registration Mandatory for Importers & Exporters?

    💡 AD Code registration is essential for smooth international trade. Whether you are importing or exporting, here’s why you need it:

    Links your bank with ICEGATE, ensuring smooth international payments for both imports and exports.

    Regulatory
    Compliance

    Required by Customs, DGFT, and RBI to prevent fraud and ensure transparent foreign trade.

    Avoid Shipment
    Delays

    Without an AD Code, your imports or exports may get held up at customs, leading to business losses.

    Customs

    Without an AD Code, you cannot file shipping bills (for exports) or pay import duties (for imports), causing delays and storage charges.

    Banks and customs require an AD Code to process import-export payments, leading to potential fund blockages.

    Loss of Government
    Benefits

    Exporters cannot claim GST refunds, duty drawbacks, or incentives without
    an AD Code.

    Unnecessary Delays &
    Penalties

    Customs may hold your shipment until AD Code registration is complete, affecting business operations and increasing costs.

    Non-Compliance with RBI & DGFT Regulations

    Operating without an AD Code can result in regulatory scrutiny and penalties, impacting future trade approvals.
