AD Code Registration
An Authorised Dealer (AD) Code ties your bank to the port you ship from — without it, customs won’t generate a shipping bill. We register your AD Code at every port you trade through, so your consignments move.

Quick facts
01 · OVERVIEW
What an AD Code is — and why you need one
An AD Code is a 14-digit number issued by your bank’s authorised-dealer branch and registered with customs at each port. Customs uses it to credit export incentives and process shipping bills. You need a separate AD Code registration for every port or airport you export from.
WHEN YOU NEED IT
- Filing your first shipping bill at a port.
- Exporting from a new port or airport.
- Receiving export proceeds and incentives.
- Completing customs registration after IEC.

Do I need a separate AD Code for each port?
