Export bill

Hi Yasaswi,

Great question! For exporting goods from India, here's a quick guide on which portals you need to use:

1. E-Way Bill Portal

• 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.

2. ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway)

• 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.

3. GST Portal

• 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.

4. Integration Suggestion

• 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.
