Import Export Code

Import Export Code

End-to-End Import Export Code Registration

Obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC) is the foundational statutory prerequisite for any business entity expanding into global commerce. Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, this 10-digit registration is required for clearing customs, transferring foreign funds, and claiming export incentives.

Our EXIM Advisory desk manages end-to-end fresh e-IEC registration, mandatory annual DGFT portal profile updating, ICEGATE customs bank account linking, and modifications to clear operational bottlenecks and maintain active trade status without penalties.
