Why Indonesia 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.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
Companies dealing with Indonesia are most often asked for a legalised shipping bill during proof of export from India, as well as 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. Indonesia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
