Customs automation for Indian CHAs

Bills of Entry and Shipping Bills that build themselves from your documents.

Upload the invoice, e-way bill, transport document and certificates. BharatNex reads them, fills every field the way you know from FOCUS, checks it against your masters, and hands you the checklist and the ICEGATE flat file. Your team only handles the exceptions.

How it works

From a folder of PDFs to a ready-to-file Bill of Entry or Shipping Bill

The repetitive part — reading, re-typing, cross-checking — is done for you. People decide; the system prepares.

  1. Step 1

    Upload once

    Drop the invoice, BL / AWB / lorry receipt and certificate of origin — PDFs, scans or a ZIP. No sorting or labelling.

  2. Step 2

    Read and classify

    Every document is identified and read: supplier, invoice values, items and HS codes, packages, weights, marks.

  3. Step 3

    Check and fill

    Values are matched against your IEC master and each other. Missing or doubtful values are shown — never guessed.

  4. Step 4

    Checklist and flat file

    Print the checklist, then download the ICES 1.5 flat file for ICEGATE — in the same layout your team knows from FOCUS.

Two ways to work

Hands-off when it can be, in your control when it matters

Choose per shipment. Both produce the same checklist and flat file.

Complete automation

Documents in. BE or SB out.

The client uploads documents. When everything is known, the checklist and flat file are generated automatically. Your team sees only what needs a decision.

  • Filled from documents, masters and earlier jobs
  • Exceptions listed with the reason, one click to fix
  • Ready to file once the last exception is settled
Partial automation

Every field shown, every field editable.

Documents are classified and every field is pre-filled on FOCUS-style screens. Review, correct anything, generate the checklist, then the flat file.

  • See where each value came from
  • Your edits are kept when documents are re-read
  • Flat file only from a checked, final checklist
Built for customs brokers

Everything a filing desk needs, in one place

Learns from every job

Port codes, item classification, end use and duty notifications are remembered per company. The second shipment from a supplier fills itself.

Catches mismatches early

Invoice vs packing list vs BL quantities and weights, IEC and GSTIN against your master, totals against line items — before you file.

Every field, FOCUS-style

Job, invoice, items, duty notifications, transport, eSANCHIT and declarations — laid out the way your team already works.

IEC Master with DGFT fetch

Fetch IEC details from DGFT in one click with the BharatNex Chrome extension. IEC, PAN and GSTIN checks built in.

Exact valuation

Freight and insurance rules, exchange rates and duty worked out the way the checklist shows them — assessable value to IGST.

Security

Your clients' data stays yours

Each company works in its own space. Nobody outside your firm sees your importers, shipments or documents — and every change is recorded.

  • Separate per companyShipments, masters and documents are visible only to your firm.
  • Access you controlYour admin adds and removes staff. Accounts are approved, not self-registered.
  • Secure sign-inStrong password hashing, automatic lockout and sign-out of disabled users.
