A bill of entry template gives you a reference layout of the fields customs expects — importer/exporter details, HS code, assessable value, and duty — before you file the real thing electronically. Below are ten ready-made bill of entry formats you can download as HTML, Word-compatible documents, Excel/CSV spreadsheets, or print to bill of entry PDF.

Each template has a dedicated section on this page (bookmark the URL with #template-classic etc.) so you can link directly to the design you need. These are reference layouts, not a substitute for e-filing — for what each field means and how to file for real, see our ultimate guide and step-by-step filing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. All formats on this page are free to download and use as a reference layout.

Use Excel or CSV for line-item calculations, Word or HTML for a document you can annotate, and PDF when you need a fixed layout to share with your broker.

No. These are reference layouts only — the actual bill of entry must be filed electronically through your country's customs portal (e.g. ICEGATE in India, ASYCUDA in Bangladesh), typically by a licensed CHA/C&F agent. Use these to see the fields you'll need before you file.

Download the HTML version, open it in your browser, and use Print → Save as PDF. Most Word processors also export to PDF.

They show where duty (BCD, IGST/VAT, Cess) is entered, but do not calculate it for you. Use our India GST or UAE VAT variants for the relevant tax fields, and see our customs duty calculation guide for the actual rates.
