Bank AD code registration with customs

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you're starting an online business and have an IEC code, you'll likely need to register a Bank AD Code with customs to use couriers like DHL or FedEx. This guide explains that you'll need to obtain the AD code from your bank. While your Customs House Agent (CHA) can handle the registration, you may be able to register it yourself on the IceGate portal if you have a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). The relevant port code for Bangalore is INBLR4.

28 June 2021 Hello, I've newly started a business with an online shop and I have gotten the IEC Code. I want to use DHL/Fedex to ship orders. I read that I have to also get Bank AD Code from my current account bank.

I want to know
1) What port am I supposed to register it at if dhl is the one sending the shipments? I'm from Bangalore.
2) Can I register the bank AD code with customs myself ? If so, please let me know where and how I can do the same?

Thanks for your time and help. I appreciate it very much.

30 June 2021 1) Bangalore ACC port code is INBLR4. Refer to icegate portal to know port code of ICD.
2) your CHA will take care of registering the AD code. You just need to get the same from your bank and share it with the CHA.
You may yourself register on icegate portal if you have a DSC. I'm not sure if this can be done without a DSC.
