Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit business identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Government of India. It is mandatory for businesses and individuals who wish to import goods into India or export goods and services from India.
Without an IEC, businesses cannot legally engage in international trade activities. The IEC remains valid for the lifetime of the business and does not require renewal, making it an essential registration for importers and exporters.
Whether you are a manufacturer, trader, startup, e-commerce seller, or service provider looking to expand globally, obtaining an IEC is the first step towards international business.
