What is AD Code Registration in Impex?

To start an import and export business in India, it is necessary to comply with two key government regulations. First, obtaining IEC Registration is crucial, as is acquiring AD Code Registration. These registrations are essential requirements for initiating import-export activities in India. Notably, the AD Code Registration is critical for enabling customs clearance for your goods.

An AD (Authorized Dealer) Code is issued as a unique 14-digit number. This code verifies that foreign currency transactions in an exporter's current account are conducted through legal channels.

Additionally, AD Code registration must be obtained separately for each port. This ensures smooth customs clearance for both the import and export of goods.

Benefits of AD Code Registration

There are several advantages to obtaining an AD Code Registration, as outlined below:

1. AD Code Registration can significantly boost your business growth by allowing you to access international markets, thereby fostering rapid expansion and success.

2. Registering for an AD Code is a one-time process, which means there is no need for repeated filings. Once you have your AD Code, you are free from ongoing procedural requirements or return submissions.

3. The AD Code is valid for the entire lifetime of the entity, ensuring continuous validity without the need for renewal. This provides long-term assurance and stability for your business operations.

4. Businesses with an AD Code might qualify for various incentives from organizations such as the DGFT, Export Promotion Council, Customs, and other government programs, which can further enhance the benefits of AD Code registration for import and export activities.

Why is it necessary to register an AD Code?

Registering for an AD Code is crucial for several reasons when engaging in export activities. The main points include:

1. Exporters shipping goods from India are required to register for an AD Code.

2. A Shipping Bill, one of the three key documents needed for customs clearance, cannot be generated on Icegate, the Indian Customs electronic data interchange platform, without an AD Code.

3. AD Code Registration enables direct crediting of funds to the exporter’s current account.

4. Government benefits, such as duty rebates, exemptions, and GST refunds, are directly credited to the current account once the AD Code is registered with customs.

5. The AD Code must be registered or submitted at each port used for exporting goods.

6. Both the IE Code and the AD Code must be provided by exporters when shipping goods.

7. Financial institutions may require the AD Code of a business or individual to process international fund transfers.

Following are the documents that you need to have for the AD Code.

1. Bank's AD Code authorization letter in Annexure-A (original)
