AD CODE REGISTRATION

What is an AD Code?

A bank that has been given permission by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to deal in foreign exchange is able to issue a 14-digit code known as an Authorized Dealer Code (AD Code). This code must be registered with Customs at the port of entry or shipment for all Indian importers and exporters. The AD Code links the exporter's bank account to the customs system, making it easier to create shipping bills and speeding up customs clearance. It also helps the government monitor which foreign currencies are coming in and going out. Getting a registered AD Code is a necessary step in conducting international business from India because without one, exporters cannot process export paperwork or submit shipping invoices.

Can an existing AD Code be modified or updated?
