Overview & methodology

What are ICEGATE port codes?
ICEGATE port codes are 6-character alphanumeric strings used by Indian Customs to identify ports, airports, Inland Container Depots (ICD), and Container Freight Stations (CFS). In 2026, they are mandatory for filing Shipping Bills (exports) and Bills of Entry (imports) on the Indian customs EDI system.
What is a port code in Indian Customs?
A Port Code (also known as a Location Code) is a 6-character alphanumeric code used by ICEGATE to identify the entry or exit point of goods. For example, INNSA identifies Nhava Sheva (JNPT), while INDEL4 identifies Delhi Air Cargo. Correct port codes are mandatory for GST returns and export incentive claims like RoDTEP.

How to read India Port Codes

The first two characters represent the country (IN for India). The next three characters represent the location, and the final character indicates the type of customs station (e.g., 4 for Air Cargo, 1 for Sea Port).

Numerical Example: Common Port Codes

Codes are typically formed as 'IN' (Country) + 3-char City + 1-char numeric/alpha suffix.
