Import Export Code
Import Export Code (IEC) Registration
If you plan to start an import or export business in India, obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC) is the first and most essential step. The IEC is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which authorizes Indian businesses to import goods into India and export goods or services abroad. It acts as a key business identification number for international trade and is mandatory for clearing shipments at customs, receiving foreign currency payments, and availing government export benefits.
