Overview

When you need a legalised shipping bill in Iran

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.

Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.

In Iran, 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 Iran in New Delhi.

Process

The Iran process for an Indian shipping bill

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the shipping bill and any list your buyer or authority in Iran gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the shipping bill.

  3. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the shipping bill, which the Iran Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  4. Iran Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Iran in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  5. Back to you

    The finished shipping bill is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Iran.
