Starting an export business in India requires obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC), which is the primary identification number issued to any person or company involved in international trade. It acts like a business passport for global commerce and is issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
The IEC Code is a 10-digit registration number that enables businesses to import goods into India or export goods and services abroad. It is mandatory for clearing shipments through customs, receiving foreign currency in business accounts, and claiming export incentives or tax benefits offered by the Government of India through DGFT and other export promotion councils.
Having an IEC also helps exporters register with important trade networks such as Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), APEDA, FIEO, SEZ authorities, and customs portals. This registration opens doors for applying under schemes like RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) and MEIS (Merchandise Exports from India Scheme).
Once the IEC registration is completed, exporters can:
Send goods or provide services internationally without restrictions.
Open foreign currency bank accounts for receiving overseas payments.
Register with online marketplaces like Amazon Global, Alibaba, or Etsy for cross-border trade.
Participate in international tenders, trade fairs, and export assistance programs.
