Authorized Couriers Must File Shipping Bills with Customs for Export Goods; Use Forms III and IV for Electronic Filing.

In the clearance of export goods, an Authorized Courier must file Courier Shipping Bills with Customs officials at airports or Land Customs Stations before the departure of the goods. Different forms are used for exporting documents and other goods. Certain export goods require a regular Shipping Bill, processed at Air Cargo Complexes or similar facilities, and then handed over to courier agencies. These include goods from Export Oriented Units, goods under specific export schemes, and those needing an export license. Electronic filing uses Courier Shipping Bill-III for documents and Courier Shipping Bill-IV for goods.
