What does LEO (Let Export Order) mean in logistics?
Short answer
The customs permission, recorded against a shipping bill after assessment and any examination, that allows export goods to be loaded onto the vessel or aircraft.
The LEO date matters for export benefits and IGST refund processing. Containers without LEO cannot be loaded, so late clearance means missed vessel cut-offs. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
