Import Export Code (IEC) Registration Services

An Import Export Code (IEC) is a mandatory 10-digit unique identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Whether you are expanding your business overseas or importing raw materials into India, securing an IEC registration is the first critical milestone.

Why Your Business Needs an IEC

  • Global Market Expansion: Essential for selling goods or services internationally.

  • Customs Clearance: Required by customs authorities to clear imported shipments or ship outward consignments.

  • International Wire Transfers: Banks require an IEC to process foreign currency payments into your account.

  • Lifetime Validity: Issued for life with no requirement for periodic renewal—only an annual online verification update.
