Without this registration, shipping bills cannot be generated, and export consignments may get delayed at customs. This guide explains what the AD Code is, why ICEGATE registration is necessary, the process of obtaining it, required documents, and how exporters can benefit from timely registration. What is an AD Code? The Authorised Dealer Code (AD Code) is a unique 14-digit number issued by the exporter’s bank. It links the exporter’s bank account with their IEC (Import Export Code) for customs clearance. Key facts about the AD Code: Issued by the exporter’s bank branch where their current account is maintained. Ensures that foreign exchange earned through exports is routed correctly. Must be registered at the Customs ICEGATE portal for each port of export.
