AD Code Registration

 

AD Code Registration (Authorized Dealer Code Registration) is a mandatory requirement for exporters in India. It links your Authorized Dealer (AD) Bank account with Customs and ICEGATE, enabling smooth export transactions, receipt of foreign payments, and claiming export incentives.

What is AD Code?

An AD Code is a 14-digit code issued by an RBI-authorized bank where the exporter maintains a current account for import-export transactions. This code is used by Customs to identify the bank through which export proceeds will be received.

Why AD Code Registration is Required?

AD Code Registration is essential for export customs clearance, shipping bill processing, and receiving foreign remittances. It is also required to claim export benefits and incentives such as RoDTEP, Duty Drawback, and IGST Refund, ensuring smooth compliance with export regulations.
