Import Export Code (IEC) Registration

What is an Import Export Code?

The Import Export Code, commonly known as IEC, is a mandatory registration required by anyone looking to import or export goods and services outside India. Issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, the IEC is a unique 10-digit code that serves as a fundamental requirement for international trade. Quite simply, no business or individual can legally undertake import or export activities in India without first obtaining an IEC.

How Long Does IEC Registration Take?

In most cases, obtaining an IEC takes between 3 and 7 working days from the point all required documents and the application are submitted. IEC certificates are issued by the relevant Regional Authority (RA) in digital format, bearing a digital signature, and applicants can print a copy whenever required. It’s worth noting that the current system does not provide for a deficiency letter; if an application is rejected, a fresh application must be filed from scratch, which makes getting it right the first time particularly important.
