An Authorized Dealer Code is a unique 14-digit code that is given by the bank where an exporter holds their current account for business. An AD code ensures that the exporter’s current account is authorized for legal transactions. The bank issues a document in the format prescribed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).

Exporters must register their AD code with the Central Board Of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBEC) to start exporting from India. This can be done digitally through ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Gateway), which provides e-filing and other services for customs-related documents. In this blog post, we provide detailed step-by-step guidance on how to check AD code registration status on ICEGATE.
