An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit business identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It acts as the passport for any business or individual who wishes to import or export goods and services across Indian borders.
The IEC certificate is essential because every shipment that enters or leaves India is tracked through this number. Without a valid IEC, customs authorities will not permit import or export clearance, and banks will not process international payment receipts or outward remittances.
In simple words, the IEC gives your business legal recognition in the global trade system. Whether you are a manufacturer, trader, exporter, or service provider, having an IEC is the first step toward expanding into foreign markets.
You can apply for the IEC completely online through the DGFT portal, using your PAN and basic business details. Once approved, the certificate is sent digitally to your registered email ID and remains valid for a lifetime; no renewal is needed.
At Ebizfiling, we take care of everything from preparing your documents and filing your IEC application online to tracking its approval status and downloading the final certificate. Our experts ensure that your application meets DGFT requirements so you can start your import or export business confidently and without delays.
