Exporting Through Chennai? Here's Why AD Code Registration Matters
If you plan to export through Chennai Customs, AD Code Registration is a key document requirement. It records your bank details against your Customs location, so you can file Shipping Bills and complete other Customs formalities.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Your registration applies to one specific Customs location
- Accurate bank details and documents prevent extra verification checks
- AD Code Registration, IEC, and ICEGATE are three separate requirements, each with its own purpose
Complete all three as your export process needs them.
