Going global? An IEC is mandatory to import or export. We get your code from the DGFT quickly — one-time, lifetime validity.
An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit code issued by the DGFT that is mandatory for any business importing into or exporting from India. Without it, customs won’t clear your shipments and banks won’t process foreign trade payments. The good news: it’s a one-time registration with lifetime validity.
