AD Code Registration: A Two-Port Preparation Guide

Preparing an AD code registration enquiry for two Indian ports starts with clear bank details, selected customs locations and an agreed support scope. This guide helps you organise the questions to ask before submission. It is a preparation reference, not a universal statutory checklist or a promise of approval.

What does the official process describe?

ICEGATE's Bank Account Management user manual includes a Foreign Remittance Account (Authorized Dealer Code) process. It describes selecting the bank and branch, entering bank-account information, selecting a customs location and document type, and uploading supporting documentation. It also describes applicant authentication. Confirm the current process directly through the official portal before acting.

Read the ICEGATE Bank Account Management user manual and AD Code Bank Account Registration Advisory.

Start with the two intended locations

Record the names of the two ports or customs locations relevant to your enquiry. Ask which location entries and supporting records apply to your circumstances. Do not assume that acceptance at one location confirms acceptance at another, or that a commercial two-port support package changes the official requirements.

Prepare your enquiry information

• Your business structure and applicant name.
• Your existing IEC and ICEGATE account status.
• The bank and branch associated with the enquiry.
• The two intended customs locations.
• Whether you are requesting new registration support or an existing-record update.
• Any prior discrepancy or authority query, described without sharing confidential records initially.

Confirm the current required documents with ICEGATE and the responsible bank. Bank-issued AD code details, account evidence and applicant records may be relevant to the review, but this article does not establish a universal list of acceptable documents.

New registration or an update?

Describe the exact change or application stage before requesting a quote. A new entry and a modification are not interchangeable service instructions. The official manual addresses both adding and modifying accounts, but the current eligibility and workflow for your requested change must be checked. Avoid authorising a submission based on an unclear instruction such as “update both ports” without naming the records and intended changes.

How to compare a service quotation

Ask what the quoted amount includes: document organisation, application preparation, coordination, follow-up, query handling and any limits on revisions. Separate the facilitator's service price from taxes, third-party charges and additional work. Confirm whether extra ports, a bank change or a different application type require a separate quote. Payment for assistance does not guarantee registration, authority acceptance or a completion date.

Blueberry's AD Code Registration service is listed at ₹2,000 for a facilitation package covering two agreed ports across India. Confirm your selected locations, application type and written fee inclusions before purchase. Blueberry facilitates agreed administrative coordination; the bank and authorities control their respective decisions.

Protect account access and sensitive records

Begin with a brief enquiry, not an attachment containing identity documents or bank statements. Confirm the recipient, purpose and secure submission route before sharing records. Keep control of account credentials and complete any required authentication yourself. Do not send passwords or one-time codes in an enquiry email or chat.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blueberry issue the bank's AD code?

No. Blueberry's role is facilitation within an agreed scope, not issuing bank codes or approving Customs records.

Is IEC registration included in the two-port package?

No combined scope is implied. Discuss IEC support separately and confirm the applicant's current requirements.

How long will registration take?

No fixed completion period is promised here. Timing depends on complete information, bank responses, portal availability and authority review.

Is this an automated agent-to-agent service?

No live A2A, M2M or RAG integration is represented by this article. The linked content supports discovery and understanding; a human or authorised provider performs the applicable service process.
