Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) Registration

Would you like to do import-export business in India? One of the first and foremost things is to quickly obtain an IEC. CAG & Associates keep it simple for you and helps you procure IEC the fastest and hassle-free.

What is IEC?

The 10-digit Importer-Exporter Code Number, which is unique to each trader, is granted by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, functioning under the Ministry of Commerce of the Indian Government. The IEC acts as the central business identification number that any individual or company can use in the import and export business in India.

Whether you are exporting finished goods across the globe or bringing in raw materials from overseas, you legally cannot do either without an IEC. It's a goods and services license that is mandatory and is addressed to all business sizes, whether small traders or large multinationals.

Why is IEC Important?

• Legal Obligation – IEC is a must for import/export activities. Without it, customs clearance, international trade bank transfers, and shipping bookings cannot be executed.
• Expansion of Global Business – An IEC makes your business accessible to international customers and suppliers, and you can expand your business globally.
• Lifetime Validity – After its issuance, the IEC code is valid for a lifetime and doesn't have to be renewed. This provides ease of doing business for the long term.
• No Burden of Compliance – IEC holders do not need to file returns or follow periodic filings, so it is easy and convenient to keep.

Who Requires an IEC?

• Companies or individuals exporting or importing goods or services.
• E-commerce sellers selling products overseas.
• Service providers providing services to overseas customers.
• Manufacturers having international suppliers or buyers.
