Online transmission of DGFT licenses enables automatic population into Customs systems, allowing quoting of license numbers for EDI processing. DGFT-issued licenses and file numbers will be automatically populated into the Customs ICES environment for use at the port, allowing exporters to quote DGFT file or license numbers on shipping bills and importers to quote license numbers on bills of entry; manually registered licenses are subject to verification steps for imports to enable subsequent EDI filing, while manual registration remains available for licenses issued prior to the implementation threshold.
