About IEC Registration

Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10‑digit unique identification number issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It is mandatory for any person or entity engaged in import or export of goods or services. Without IEC, you cannot clear customs, receive export payments, or claim export benefits. The code is valid for a lifetime and is required for all international trade transactions.

Process: We begin by collecting your business and personal details, PAN, bank certificate, and address proof. Our experts prepare the IEC application (ANF‑2A form) and file it online on the DGFT portal. We ensure all documents are correctly uploaded, handle any discrepancies, and obtain the IEC certificate for you – all within 2‑5 working days.

  • Avail export benefits: Claim duty drawbacks, export subsidies, and incentives
