Hassle-Free AD Code Registration for Exporters & Importers
Secure Your AD Code, Streamline Customs Clearance & Unlock Export Incentives
Why It Matters
AD Code registration is the **gateway** to seamless international trade from India. A properly registered AD Code:
Enables Shipping Bill Generation
Ensures RBI Compliance
Unlocks Export Incentives
Without an AD Code, exporters and importers cannot file shipping bills, receive payments, or access government benefits—jeopardizing cash flow and compliance.
