Dear sir,

As per customs AD code is compulsory for doing export import. This code is grated by commercial banks and need to register at the port of export/import. In your case since you have purchased goods in transit from B on high sea sale, bill of entry should be in the name of B and also AD code of B should be mentioned because B is the original shipper.

You can correct this error from the Jurisdictional Customs Officer under Section 149 of the Customs Act.
