    Import Export Code (IEC) Registration in India

    What is IEC Registration?

    An Import Export Code (IEC) is a mandatory registration required for businesses or individuals involved in the import or export of goods or services from India. It is issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce.

    IEC is a 10-digit unique code linked to the PAN of the applicant. Without an IEC, no person or entity can legally undertake international trade, except for a few exempted categories notified by the government.

    IEC registration is a completely online process through the DGFT portal and is valid for a lifetime, subject to periodic updates as prescribed.
