AD code is an authorized dealer code issued by the account holder bank branch, which has to be linked online on the ICEGATE portal with the help of a class 3 digital signature certificate. IEC Code & AD Code Registration on the ICEGATE portal is important so that the custom authority can check the shipping documents & approve it for export.
Once the AD code has been approved on the ICEGATE portal, necessary documents have to be uploaded & a URT number is being generated for reference. Specific port has to be linked on the ICEGATE portal from which the export or import of goods will be taking place.
AD Code Certificate [Sample]
In order to facilitate seamless customs clearance and obtain export benefits, exporters in India must register their AD Code on the ICEGATE portal. The exporter's bank issues the 14-digit Authorized Dealer (AD) Code, which needs to be registered with Indian Customs via the ICEGATE portal. This code enables smooth foreign exchange transactions and the creation of shipping bills by connecting the exporter's bank account with their Import Export Code (IEC). The ICEGATE AD Code Registration Process is an essential step in ensuring accurate documentation and compliance.
Exporters are unable to submit shipping bills or apply for government incentives such as duty drawbacks and GST refunds if they do not have an AD Code. The registration process is now quick, paperless, and easy to use thanks to the ICEGATE portal. Documents such as the bank's AD Code letter, GST certificate, IEC copy, and other fundamental information must be submitted by exporters.
Following approval, the AD Code is connected to the chosen port, guaranteeing expedited export paperwork and easier adherence to customs laws.
Registering an AD code can be a difficult & time taking process. We would advise you to hire an expert who could get the entire procedure hassle free.
Once the bank has issued an AD Code it has to be registered with the customs on the Icegate portal. Following documents needs to be ensured before making an application.
Our Team of Professionals can help you in getting the documents prepared for your application.
Application Fee for AD Code registration is Rs. 2,999/- (It is a one time fee which has to be borne by the exporter).

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
