Import-Export Documentation.
Every consignment that crosses India's border moves on a chain of documents: your Importer-Exporter Code, the shipping bill or bill of entry filed on ICEGATE, supporting papers on e-Sanchit, certificates of origin and, finally, proof that export proceeds were realised. We keep that chain complete and consistent each month, so customs clearance, GST refunds and bank reporting do not stall over a mismatch.
Onboarding typically takes one to two weeks, depending on how quickly registrations and past shipment records can be verified. After that the work runs monthly, with per-shipment review driven by when your customs broker shares draft documents.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.

- 1
Registration health check
We verify your IEC on the DGFT portal, including its annual update, and confirm that your AD code, ICEGATE and e-Sanchit registrations are active and linked to the right bank account and GSTIN.
- 2
Pre-shipment documents
We prepare or check the commercial invoice, packing list and declarations your customs broker needs, and apply for certificates of origin on DGFT's common digital platform where the buyer or a trade agreement requires one.
- 3
Shipping bill review
We review the checklist your customs broker will file on ICEGATE for classification, value, IEC and GSTIN details and incentive declarations, and do the same for bills of entry on imports.
- 4
Realisation tracking
We track export proceeds against each shipping bill in your bank's EDPMS records, and import payments in IDPMS, and generate eBRCs on the DGFT portal from the remittance data banks transmit.
- 5
Monthly reconciliation
We match shipping bills and bills of entry with your books and GST returns, flag open items, and send you a status report each month.
