Duty credit, as a feature of your product. One API, one key.

The sell side, where an exporter turns a matured credit into cash, is generally available. The buy side, where an importer funds customs duty with credits bought below face, is in preview and enabled per partner on request. Both run through the same key and the same settlement, but if your case rests on the buy side, say so in the first conversation rather than after a design review.

Each firm you onboard operates under its own signed Power of Attorney for its ICEGATE operation, scoped to that firm. Nothing is submitted without approval, and a firm can revoke its mandate at any time.

Two modes, and you choose per trade. Where your exporters and importers trade at prices Scriphouse makes, they pay the standard self-serve rates published on the pricing page, first trade on each IEC free included, exactly as if they traded here directly, and the platform earns a share of the Scriphouse fee on the trades it originates. Where the platform instead settles a cross of its own, one of its exporters' scrips against one of its importers' duty covers, at prices the platform set, the platform pays: the flat 0.50% desk rate on the value that settles plus GST, charged to the platform and to neither client, once per settled trade. A trade is charged on one basis only, never both. The revenue-share split sits on the agreement settled when you connect, so there is no percentage for us to publish here, and it is agreed there rather than discovered on an invoice. Earnings and charges are reported per client and per trade, read from the same ledger the money posted to.

A sandbox key is bound to a test IEC: onboard test firms, take quotes, place orders and pull an audit export end to end, with nothing legally binding and no scrip ever moving. Live access follows a signed partner agreement. The two kinds of key carry different prefixes, so a rehearsal is never mistaken for a settled trade.

Whether you bring five firms or five hundred, each connects its own ICEGATE operation under its own mandate and trades as itself. Quotes, orders, ledgers and audit exports stay separate firm by firm, and a call that reaches past the firms your key holds a mandate for is refused rather than answered.

On a sale, the firm is paid one all-in number into its own bank on the same business day, with a UTR. On a duty payment, the credit lands in the firm's own ledger, ready to apply when the Bill of Entry is filed. A settlement that fails unwinds and refunds in full the same day, and your platform is party to none of it.
