IEC Code Registration - Overview

An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit code necessary for Indian import/export businesses. It's issued by the DGFT, Ministry of Commerce, and doesn't require filing or renewal. Importers need IEC to clear customs and make payments to foreign banks, while exporters need it to send shipments and receive payments.The IEC Number is essential for any importer/exporter operating in India.

Benefits of IEC Code

  • The IEC registration helps traders including online e-commerce operators open the doors to venture into the global market
  • Businesses can avail government schemes like the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS), the Service Export from India Scheme (SEIS), and others from customs and export promotion
  • No compliance requirements post registration and hence maintaining the business is relatively simple.
  • The process of obtaining IEC Code is not tedious and can be obtained with minimal, basic documents.

Situations Where IEC Code Is Required

You can use the IEC code in the following scenarios :

  • When a shipment needs to be cleared by customs, the customs authorities require it from the importer
  • When an importer transfers money overseas using banks, the bank requires it
  • When an exporter has to dispatch their shipments, the customs port requires it
  • When an exporter directly receives foreign currency into their bank account, the bank mandates it.

Validity of Import Export Code

The validity of an IEC is for a lifetime. This means that once an IEC is obtained, it is valid for all import or export transactions of the entity. There is no need to renew or update the IEC after a certain period.

Nature of the Firm Obtaining an IEC Code

IEC can be obtained by any individual, company, partnership firm, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or any other type of entity engaged in import or export activities. Whether you are an exporter or importer, having an IEC is mandatory for all such transactions. Even if a business is not actively engaged in import or export activities, but it plans to do so in the future, it still needs to obtain an IEC beforehand.
