Why is a DSC Required for ICEGATE?

A Digital Signature Certificate is essential for users of the ICEGATE portal, which includes importers, exporters, CHAs (Custom House Agents), and other stakeholders involved in customs clearance processes. It is used to digitally sign documents like Bills of Entry, Shipping Bills, and other declarations submitted online.

The DSC ensures the authenticity of the user and the integrity of the data submitted, making online customs transactions secure and legally recognized. Typically, a Class 3 Combo (Signing & Encryption) DSC is recommended for full functionality on ICEGATE.
