    Import Export Code (IEC)

    The first requirement before you start an import/ export business in India is to obtain an Import export code (IEC). An Import export code (IEC) code is mandatory for any person importing or exporting of goods/ services to or from India. Import export code is a unique 10-digit code, which is requisite for every import/export business owner in India. The code is allotted by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and needs no filing or renewal as it comes with one-time registration and lifetime validity.

     

    In case the import/export is of services or technology, IEC is required in only limited circumstances, when import/export is in ‘specified services’ or ‘specified technologies’, i.e. services or technologies in which international trade is restricted by the Government of India as they pertain to national security, such as dealing in nuclear weapons, automatic guns, etc. IEC is required by importers to clear customs and shipment, and to transfer money to foreign banks. Exporters require IEC to send shipments and receive money from foreign banks. In short, no importer/exporter can operate in India without getting the IEC.

     

    ComplianceIndia can help you obtain your Import Export Code License quickly and hassle-free.
