FAQ
Shipping Bill — common questions
What is a shipping bill?
A shipping bill is the primary export document filed with Indian customs to clear goods for export. It is mandatory for all exports from India and is filed through ICEGATE by the exporter or their customs broker.
What are the types of shipping bill?
The main types are the free shipping bill (no export duty), the dutiable shipping bill (export duty applies), and the drawback shipping bill (claiming duty drawback or export incentives).
Who files the shipping bill?
The exporter or their licensed customs broker files the shipping bill electronically on ICEGATE. CargoFide is backed by a licensed customs broker who handles this filing.
What is a Let Export Order?
After customs assesses and examines the goods, it issues a Let Export Order (LEO) on the shipping bill — this authorises the cargo to be loaded onto the vessel or aircraft for export.
