IEC Code Registration Online | Import Export Code Apply 2025

What is IEC Code?

The IEC Code (Import Export Code) is a 10-digit business identification number issued by DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade).
Any business that wants to start import or export operations in India must obtain an IEC Code. Without this code, importers cannot clear shipments and exporters cannot claim benefits from customs or DGFT.

IEC Code is valid for a lifetime, does not require monthly compliance, and is mandatory for all businesses—proprietorship, partnership, LLP, private limited company, and individuals involved in import/export.

Why IEC Code is Important for Your Business?

Obtaining an IEC Code gives your business:

• Legal approval for import and export

• Access to international markets

• Eligibility for export incentives

• Hassle-free customs clearance

• Global business expansion opportunities

Whether you sell on global marketplaces or deal with foreign buyers/suppliers, IEC Code is your entry pass to the global trade ecosystem.

Who Needs IEC Code?

IEC registration is mandatory for:

• Manufacturers exporting goods

• Importers bringing products from abroad

• Amazon Global / eCommerce exporters

• Traders dealing with foreign suppliers

• Service exporters (in certain cases)

• Businesses participating in international tenders

If your business interacts globally—you need an IEC Code.
