Overview

Why Cote d'Ivoire asks for a legalised shipping bill

The shipping bill is India's customs export declaration. It proves that the goods were cleared for export from India and shows the port, value and description of the cargo. It is filed electronically through ICEGATE and printed by the exporter or customs broker.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

In Cote d'Ivoire, a legalised shipping bill is typically requested for proof of export from India; it is also used for tender and contract compliance and duty or origin verification by the importer.

A shipping bill issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Cote d'Ivoire in New Delhi.
