Import Export Code Registration

An Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is a unique 10-digit number required for importing or exporting goods to and from India. Without this code, no one can import or export. However, for services exports, the IEC is only needed if the service provider is claiming benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy. The IEC is issued by the DGFT under the Ministry of Commerce and Industries, Government of India.
