It is known as the Indian Customs and Central Excise Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange Gateway. Customs and Central Excise departments' EDI and EC needs are addressed through ICEGATE.
IceGATE is used to exchange information and documents between the department and other regulatory or licensing agencies. ICEGATE online provides a wide range of features, some of which are listed below:
Allows for the following:
Bill of Entry electronic filing (declaration of import)
Shipment Bill Electronic Filing (declaration of export)
Customs fees may now be paid electronically.
An all-in-one signature tool for all customs paperwork
Submission of supporting documentation through Sanchi Electronic IGST refund is required.
Communication with government agencies such as the RBI, banks, DGFT, DGCIS, ministries, directorates, and other agencies

A 24-hour support desk for trade partners handles all electronic documents and communications before they are sent on to be processed by the Indian Customs EDI System (ICES).
For export, import, Import General Manifest, Export General Manifest, and Consol Manifest, ICEGATE registration is required.

Creating an ICEGATE account
Clicking the Login/Sign-up link under 'Our Services' on ICEGATE's website will allow an exporter to sign up for an account. The following are the stages involved in a new registration:
Check the availability of the ICEGATE and email IDs by entering them here.
Customs broker, airline, shipping line, shipping agency, etc. are some of the user roles available. If you're an IEC-holder, you're not the only one
Verify the IEC by entering it.
The ICES will export the exporter's information.
Upload the same picture ID that you selected.
In order to verify the digital certificate, click the CONFIRM button.
The registration process will be finished once the registered email address receives an OTP.
After completing the registration procedure, exporters must wait for the Department of Commerce to accept their application for registration.
Submission of a shipping bill
On the ICEGATE website, shipping invoices may be filed. The exporter will require the IEC number (or customs house agent number) and the authorized dealer code in order to generate a Shipping Bill. It is possible for the exporter to produce a shipping bill after they have received an order to "Let Export".
On the ICEGATE interface, choose a location and input the shipping bill number and date to see the bill's current status.
