Shipping bill for Israel: what and why
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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Israel usually ask for a legalised shipping bill for proof of export from India, tender and contract compliance or 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. Israel accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
