Import Export Code (IEC) Registration

The Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is a mandatory 10-digit business identification number for importing or exporting goods in India, issued by the DGFT under the Ministry of Commerce. It is not required for service exports unless availing benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy.

When is IEC code required?

  • Customs authorities need it to clear shipments during imports.

  • The bank needs it to transfer the money when imports are made.

  • Similarly during export the shipments the IEC is required.

  • When exporter is supposed to receive money in foreign currency, IEC code is required to transfer the money to his account directly.

Who can apply for IEC Code?

  • Proprietorship

  • Partnership

  • LLP

  • Limited Company

  • Trust

  • HUF

  • Mismatch in Details – Name or address differences between PAN, Aadhaar, and bank documents cause errors.

  • Technical Issues – DGFT website glitches, OTP not received, or login problems delay registration.

  • Digital Signature (DSC) Errors – If DSC is not properly linked or expired, the application may fail.
