Overview of IEC Registration
Expanding a business globally requires adherence to various legal and procedural requirements. One of the key prerequisites for import and export activities in India is obtaining an IEC (Importer Exporter Code) license.
Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the IEC Code is a 10-digit unique identification number mandatory for individuals or businesses engaging in international trade. Without an IEC, importers cannot clear goods through customs, and exporters cannot avail benefits under DGFT schemes.
