Procedures for Online Generation of Shipping Bill

Indian Customs EDI System can accept the documents from the trading partners in the Electronic Format. The documents can be prepared and submitted using either the Electronic Data interchange or Service Centre.

Importers/Exporters and Customs House Agents who do not have access to the Internet can get their documents electronically prepared and submitted for further processing at the Service Centre.

The data entered through EDI or Service Centre gets validated before their storage into ICES. If errors are found, the same are reported to the Importer/Exporter/Customs House Agent through EDI or at the Service Centre.

Documents once entered and submitted are then reviewed by different officers of the Customs House at various stages of processing and final clearance is accorded on the computer system after all the formalities are over for physical examination of goods at the sheds. ICES keeps track of the officers who have handled the documents at various stages of processing. The Customs House Agent, in turn, can enquire about the status of his documents from his own system. He can view any memo or objections on his documents as they are Posted in the system.
