ICEGATE Registration Online
with DSC for Customs e-Filing

Register on India's official Customs EDI Gateway to file Bills of Entry, Shipping Bills, and all customs documents electronically using a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate.

What is ICEGATE?

ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Data Interchange Gateway) is the national customs portal of India, operated by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) under the Ministry of Finance. It serves as the single point of interface between the trade community and the Indian Customs department for all customs-related electronic transactions.

Through ICEGATE, importers and exporters can electronically file Bills of Entry (for imports), Shipping Bills (for exports), make e-payment of customs duty, track document status, and access duty drawback refund information — all digitally signed using a Class 3 DSC.

Any entity involved in cross-border trade — importers, exporters, Custom House Agents (CHA), freight forwarders, airlines, and shipping lines — must register on ICEGATE to carry out customs clearance. An Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT is a prerequisite for ICEGATE registration.
