Hi
I raise e-way bills of all sorts and transported goods which require it without it and have minimum compliance awareness. No I work for a manufacturer and want to supply goods abroad. What portal must I use?
I don't like different portals as it's expensive and burden on tax payers and hence I recommend government of India to integrate everything into the e-way portals.

Hi Yasaswi,
Great question! For exporting goods from India, here's a quick guide on which portals you need to use:
The E-Way Bill is primarily for movement of goods within India.
For export, E-Way Bills are not mandatory if the goods are directly transported from the place of business to the customs port of export.
However, if goods move between locations within India before export, an e-way bill is required for those movements.
For export customs clearance and filing shipping bills, use the ICEGATE portal:
https://www.icegate.gov.in
This is the official portal for filing Shipping Bills and other customs documentation.
All export documentation, including declaration of goods and duty refunds, is handled here.
File your export invoices and GST returns on the GST portal:
https://www.gst.gov.in
You will claim zero-rated supplies under GST for exports here.
Your suggestion to integrate all portals is a common demand and would indeed simplify processes.
Meanwhile, ICEGATE and GST portals work together to some extent, but the e-way bill system remains a separate framework for inland movement.
| Task | Portal/Platform |
|---|---|
| Movement of goods inside India | E-Way Bill Portal |
| Customs clearance & shipping bill | ICEGATE |
| GST filing & export invoices | GST Portal |
