OVERVIEW
What is Customs Clearance Support?
Customs clearance is the process of getting goods through customs so they can enter or leave the country. For smooth import and export in India, businesses need key registrations and accurate documentation — AD Code from the bank (and registration with customs), RCMC from the relevant Export Promotion Council, and proper Bill of Entry / Shipping Bill filings.
Without AD Code registered at the port, you cannot file Shipping Bills or Bills of Entry on ICEGATE. Without RCMC, many export incentives and EPC-supported schemes remain out of reach. We assist with these registrations and with documentation so your consignments clear without avoidable delays or compliance gaps.
