IEC Registration

Introduction

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a key business identification number required for anyone looking to start import or export activities in India. Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the IEC is a 10-digit code that acts as a mandatory license for international trade and is essential for customs clearance, shipment, and receiving foreign currency in a business bank account.

Whether you’re a manufacturer, trader, or service provider planning to expand globally, obtaining an IEC registration is your first step toward tapping into international markets. The process is simple, completely online, and usually completed within a few working days.

With no renewal requirements and lifetime validity, IEC registration is a one-time process that opens doors to global business opportunities and helps you build credibility in the international marketplace.
