What is an Import -Export Code?

Businesses that engage in the Import and Export of goods require IEC registration; it is a ten-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The IEC code has lifetime validity. Importers and exporters cannot benefit from exports offered by DGFT, customs, and Export Promotion Council without this code. While clearing customs, importers must quote the IE Code. In addition, banks need the importer's IE Code when sending money abroad. Businesses can obtain the Import Export Code or IEC online with filingbee expert assistance.

The Import Export Code is permanent and is valid for a lifetime, so there is no need for re-registration or renewal; it lasts until the business ceases operation or the registration is surrendered.

The Export Promotion Council, a government body, issues the Registration-cum-Membership Certificate. This is necessary for businesses that export restricted products and those that seek concessions through Foreign Trade Policy.

"Restricted" goods are those whose import is permitted only with the approval of a licence or authorization or following the procedure prescribed in a public notice or notification. This list of 'Restricted' items can be viewed under the (ITC- HS) download section of import and export items on the DGFT website.

Additionally, businesses can reap many benefits from having Importer - Exporter Codes or IEC Online.

IEC is assumed to be used exclusively for goods importation or exportation. However, it is also necessary for services as well as for goods.
