IMPORT & EXPORT · INDIA
ICEGATE access should match the actual customs role and the person authorised to act. First establish whether the business already has an account and needs new registration, a child user, an amendment or access recovery. Registration is not customs clearance and does not itself complete a shipping bill or bank-account registration.
CLEAR FEES. CLEAR DELIVERABLES.
Professional work, government charges and optional services. All set out in writing before we begin.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamNo. ICEGATE account access and the DGFT entity record serve different purposes; check both where relevant to the intended transaction.
Official registration guidance describes principal access and authorised employee access. Map responsibilities without sharing one person's credentials across the business.

Check the current role-specific instructions first. This guide does not reproduce a legacy screen sequence or promise that one route enables every filing function.

No. Bank-account setup is a separate task. State explicitly whether it is included in your engagement.

Do not send passwords, OTPs or signing keys in a general enquiry. Keep authentication under the authorised person's control.
Keep the recorded outcome and verify the function you actually need. Pending, rejected or restricted access should remain an open action, not a successful completion.
THE DETAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT
ICEGATE access should match the actual customs role and the person authorised to act. First establish whether the business already has an account and needs new registration, a child user, an amendment or access recovery. Registration is not customs clearance and does not itself complete a shipping bill or bank-account registration.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Identify the actual importer/exporter or other customs role. | Do not select an unrelated role merely to pass a screen. |
| Existing account | Ask who holds the organisation's parent access and which users already exist. | Avoid duplicate registration when amendment or recovery is the real task. |
| Authorisation | Separate parent and child user responsibilities. | Agree who may approve, file and manage access. |
| Required function | List the specific dashboard or filing work needed. | Verify the enabled functions after registration rather than assuming all services are available. |
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
The professional fee remains unchanged. Any required signature certificate or other agreed external cost is itemised separately; account support is not an unlimited filing package.
Authentication, role checks and authority responses affect completion. Confirm the current workflow before scheduling a customs filing; an old registration screenshot is not a current service commitment.
