Find answers to common questions about the Import Export Code (IEC) and its registration process for businesses in India.
IEC is a ten-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade that authorises a business or individual to import or export goods and services from India.
Any individual, proprietorship, partnership, LLP or company planning to engage in cross-border trade of goods or services generally needs an IEC.
IEC is compulsory for most import and export activities, with only a limited set of exemptions specified under government notifications.
Common requirements include PAN of the entity, a cancelled cheque or bank certificate, address proof of the business premises and a valid digital signature or Aadhaar-based authentication.
Once the application is filed correctly on the DGFT portal, the IEC is typically issued within a few working days.
The IEC itself carries lifetime validity, but DGFT requires periodic online confirmation of details every year to keep the code active.
Failure to complete the yearly update within the prescribed window may result in deactivation of the IEC until it is updated.
Yes, individuals operating as proprietors can apply for an IEC using their own PAN, without needing to register a separate company.

GST registration is not always mandatory for IEC issuance, though it may be linked and verified depending on the nature of the business.
