What Are The Different BL Requirements For India?

 

 

Every country has different requirements for customs clearance. India is not different, but do not worry. In this text, we are going to lay out the requirements for the bill of lading.

 

As of 1st of April of 2018, the government of India has taken into effect a requirement to display in every BL the Goods and Services Tax Number, the Importer and Exporter number, and the importer’s contact information, such as email address and phone number.

 

Since 2019, it is also mandatory that the total value of the cargo is displayed on the BL.
