Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) Registration
Apply for Your IEC Online with DGFT EXIM.
The Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is a mandatory registration for anyone looking to start import or export activities in India. It acts as a unique identification number required for all international trade transactions. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) now offers a seamless, fully online application process with the option of an electronic IEC (e-IEC).
What is IEC?
IEC is a 10-digit code issued by DGFT, essential for:
- Importing goods into India
- Exporting goods from India
- Availing government export benefits and incentives
Without IEC, international trade transactions cannot be legally processed.
