Import Export Code (IEC)

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit unique identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in India. It’s a mandatory requirement for businesses or individuals involved in import and export activities. The IEC facilitates international trade by enabling businesses to import goods into India and export products from India to foreign markets. Obtaining an IEC is a relatively straightforward process and involves submitting the necessary documents to the DGFT. It serves as a crucial document for customs authorities, banks, and other regulatory bodies, allowing them to monitor and track international trade transactions. IEC does not restrict the nature of goods that can be imported or exported, making it an essential tool for businesses looking to expand their global footprint. Whether you’re a small-scale exporter or a large corporation, having an IEC is a fundamental prerequisite for engaging in international trade.
