DGFT DSC (also called Customs DSC or ICEGATE DSC) is a specific digital signature certificate recognised by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway) portal for filing shipping bills, bill of entries, IEC applications, and EXIM-related documents.

For importers and exporters, DGFT DSC enables self-filing of customs documents on ICEGATE, IEC updating on the DGFT portal, and e-filing of various DGFT applications (MEIS, SEIS, EPCG, etc.) without relying on a Customs House Agent for every transaction.

Our team procures the DGFT-compatible Class 3 DSC from an authorised Certifying Authority, ensures it is registered on the DGFT/ICEGATE portal, and guides you on its use for import-export compliance.

The base certificate is the same (Class 3 DSC), but it must be registered specifically on the DGFT/ICEGATE portal. Some CAs issue DGFT-tagged certificates for easier portal registration.

Importers and exporters who want to file customs documents (ICEGATE), apply for DGFT schemes, or update their IEC directly on the DGFT portal.
Can I use my existing DSC on the DGFT portal?+
Usually yes, if it's Class 3. You need to register your existing DSC on the DGFT/ICEGATE portal by uploading the public key.
What DGFT schemes require DSC filing?+
MEIS, RoSCTL, SEIS, Advance Authorisation, EPCG, DFIA, and status holder certificates — all filed through the DGFT online portal using DSC.

1–2 working days. Same process as regular Class 3 DSC — Aadhaar-based video KYC, followed by certificate issuance and DGFT portal registration.
