Import Export Code
An Import Export Code (IEC) is a unique 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and is mandatory for any business involved in importing or exporting goods and services from India. One of the main reasons to choose IEC registration is that it is legally required to conduct cross-border trade. Without an IEC, a business cannot clear shipments from customs or receive foreign currency payments in India.
IEC registration offers a range of benefits. It acts as a passport for global business, enabling entrepreneurs to expand their reach beyond domestic markets. Once obtained, the IEC is valid for a lifetime and does not require renewal, making it a one-time and hassle-free registration. It is also not bound by regular compliance requirements, which means businesses don’t need to file returns or maintain specific documentation unless they are doing transactions.
