If you had filled details of shipping bill in table 6A of GSTR-1 and the details entered in shipping bill (port code) was incorrect, you may correct the said port code through table 9A -amendment in export invoice details in any subsequent month GSTR-1.

However the amendment is not relevant for your case of FY 17-18, the amendment was allowed up to filing of March 2019 return. You may seek guidance from your local GST Range office regarding this.

Sir,

Please ensure that Invoices details have been transmitted to ICEGATE, if so visit the Customs Officer at port of export.

Thanks

If such Shipping Bills had not been transmitted then through the help of your customs broker, you can get it transmitted to seek the GST Refund.

AI Summary

Amendment of export invoice details may correct a port code to enable GST refund, subject to the prescribed amendment window.
Incorrect port code in GSTR 1 export details may be corrected through the amendment in export invoice details mechanism in subsequent GSTR 1 filings, subject to the applicable amendment window; if that window has closed, taxpayers should consult the local GST Range office or the customs officer at the port. If shipping bills were not transmitted to the customs electronic gateway, transmission via a customs broker can be used to pursue the GST refund, in accordance with current administrative circulars and local compliance procedures.
