Shipping bill for Trinidad and Tobago: 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 brokers and banks in the Americas may ask for apostilled shipping documents for certain goods or payment terms.
In Trinidad and Tobago, 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. Trinidad and Tobago accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
