Overview of IEC Services

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a mandatory 10-digit identification number required for businesses engaged in importing or exporting goods and services in India. Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the IEC is a one-time registration that is essential for starting international trade.

Key Aspects of IEC:

  • Requirement for Imports & Exports: IEC is necessary for businesses to import goods into India or export goods and services abroad. Without it, customs clearance cannot be done.
  • Simple Application Process: Businesses can apply for IEC online through the DGFT portal, and the process typically requires basic documents like PAN, proof of address, and bank details.
  • Lifetime Validity: Once issued, the IEC is valid for the lifetime of the business and does not require renewal, though updates may be necessary in case of changes to the business information.

The IEC also facilitates benefits under government trade policies, and without it, businesses may miss out on various incentives.
