Overview

Why South Korea 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 South Korea 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. South Korea accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

The South Korea process for an Indian shipping bill

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the shipping bill and tell us who in South Korea will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the shipping bill or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. 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.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  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 South Korea.

What to send us

  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certified Korean translation, if the authority in South Korea asks (we arrange it)
  • Matching commercial invoice
  • Bill of lading or airway bill copy
  • Printed shipping bill copy, certified by the exporter

Avoid rejection

  • Values must match the commercial invoice.
  • Ask your customs broker for a clear print; faded copies are refused.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
