According to Indian Government Rules, you must have two registrations certificates before sending any shipment with regards to import or export in India. IEC Registration and AD Code Registration are two of them. You cannot send an import-export shipment (Cargo) in India without these two registrations. For customs clearance of your shipment (Cargo), the AD Code is Mandatory.

A 14-digit number called an AD (Authorized Dealer) Code is issued. The AD Code's goal is to determine whether or not foreign currency transactions in an exporter's current account are coming from a lawful channel. For customs clearance of export or import of shipment (Cargo), AD Code registration is required for each port independently.

Every import/export business owner in India needs an import export code, which is a unique 10-digit code. The code is issued by the Ministry of Commerce's Director-General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and does not require filing or renewal. Importer or Exporter needs an IEC to clear customs and export/import their goods, as well as to transfer money to overseas banks (As per RBI Regulations). Exporters must have an IEC to send shipments (Cargo) and receive funds from overseas banks. No importer or exporter can do business in India without first obtaining an IEC.

Eligibility

Any form of business, regardless of size, can register for an import-export code: sole proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies, and charitable organisations that deal with the import and export of goods. Import/export of products for personal use that are unrelated to trade, production, or agriculture, however, does not require an IEC.

The value of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space it occupies during distribution, rather than the actual weight which is known as volumetric (or dimensional) weight.The volumetric or dimensional weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to ascertain which is greater; the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost. Here are the formula for various modes-

• For Air Mode - Length x Breadth x Height (in cms) / 6000
• For Surface Mode - Length x Breadth x Height (in cms) / 4750
• For International Mode - Length x Breadth x Height (in cms) / 5000
