Import Export Code (IEC)

Gateway to Global Trade – Start Importing & Exporting

Import Export Code (IEC) is a unique 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that is mandatory for businesses involved in import or export of goods and services. Aggarwal H K & Co. provides quick IEC registration services, enabling your business to participate in international trade seamlessly.

What is IEC Code?

IEC is a business identification number required for customs clearance of imported or exported goods. Without IEC, you cannot legally engage in cross-border trade, making it the first essential step for any import-export business.

Why IEC Registration is Essential?

Customs Clearance
Mandatory for clearing goods at customs ports, airports, and land borders. No shipment can be processed without a valid IEC.

Bank Transactions
Required for receiving or sending foreign payments related to import-export transactions through authorized dealer banks.

Government Benefits
Access export promotion schemes, duty drawbacks, advance authorization, and other government incentives for exporters.

International Credibility
IEC registration establishes your business as a legitimate international trader, building trust with foreign buyers and suppliers.
