Dear Members,

As you are aware,  for MEIS application, sometimes Shipping Bill data is not found available in DGFT System. It takes considerable time to get the SB data available in DGFT System and, therefore, availing of FTP benefits, like MEIS, by exporter is delayed.

 

 

In this regard,   O/o The Directorate General of Foreign Trade, New Delhi has issued Trade Notice No. 23/2018 dated 06/02/2018  titled “Advise to exporters to promptly check shipping bill transmission status on ICEGATE and DGFT website”.

 

As per the Trade Notice, exporters are advised to check the Shipping Bill transmission status first on ICEGATE and then on DGFT website after 72 hours from integration of SB with ICEGATE.

 

The transmission status of a SB can be checked on ICEGATE website (https://www.icegate.gov.in/) under `Services->Public Enquiry-> DGFT Shipping Bill Integration Status' option and the same can be checked at DGFT website (http:dgft.gov.in/) under 'User Facilitation-> Shipping Bills Received from Customs' for an IEC option.

 

If the SB data is neither available on ICEGATE nor DGFT, the issue can be registered with DGFT using the Contact@DGFT service available on DGFT website and the issue details can also be shared with DGFT EDI helpdesk by sending an e-mail at dgftedi@nic.in quoting the Contact@DGFT reference number.

 

Members are requested to take note of this Trade notice and do the needful accordingly.
