When you need a legalised shipping bill in Iceland
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.
European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.
In Iceland, 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Iceland accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
