Overview

What is Import Export Code Registration?

An Import Export Code (IEC) issued by the DGFT is mandatory for any business or individual engaged in cross-border trade — without it, customs clearance isn't possible.

Adzova's consultants handle the DGFT application and document verification for a quick IEC issuance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an IEC need to be renewed?

IEC itself doesn't expire, but you must confirm/update the details annually on the DGFT portal, or the code may be deactivated.

Can an individual apply for an IEC, or only companies?

Both individuals (proprietors) and all types of business entities can apply for an IEC.

Is IEC required for service exports too?

IEC is primarily required for the import/export of goods; for most service exports it isn't mandatory, but it can still be useful for receiving foreign remittances smoothly.
