GSTN introduced on demand fetching of Bill of Entry details from ICEGATE

• To help importers of goods, and recipients of supplies from SEZ, search Bill of Entry details, which did not auto-populate in GSTR-2A, a self-service functionality has been made available on the GST Portal that can be used to search such records in GST System, and fetch the missing records from ICEGATE.

• Please note that it usually takes 2 days (after reference date) for BE details to get updated on GST Portal from ICEGATE. This functionality should, therefore, be used if data is not available after this period.
  Note: The reference date would be either Out of charge date, Duty payment date, or amendment date – whichever is later.

  5. History of fetched BoE details from ICEGATE along with status of query are displayed after 30 minutes from the time of triggering the query.
