Import Export Code (IEC)
Start Your International Trade Journey with an IEC Registration
Planning to expand your business globally? Whether you're exporting garments, importing machinery, or selling services overseas, the Import Export Code (IEC) is the first and most essential requirement. Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce, the IEC is a 10-digit code that authorizes Indian businesses to legally import or export goods and services.
We provide expert assistance for quick and hassle-free IEC registration, enabling your business to tap into international markets with confidence.
What is an Import Export Code (IEC)?

- Importing goods into India
- Exporting goods from India
- Receiving international payments for services
- Registering with customs, shipping, and freight authorities
IEC is a one-time registration, valid for the lifetime of the business, unless updated or surrendered.
