Import Export Code (IEC)
The 10-digit code from DGFT that every importer and exporter needs, a one-time, lifetime registration.
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit code issued by the DGFT that every business must have to import into or export from India. It is a one-time, lifetime registration with no returns to file, only an annual confirmation. We compile your documents, file on the DGFT portal and get your IEC issued, usually within days.
