IEC License Update Procedure 

About Our Service  

What is IEC Update Procedure?  

The IEC Update Procedure refers to the online process of modifying or renewing your Import Export Code (IEC) issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Every business engaged in import or export must update its IEC whenever there are changes in business details like name, address, partners, or bank details. As per DGFT guidelines, all IEC holders are required to update their license annually, even if there are no changes. Non-updation can lead to deactivation of the IEC code, affecting your international trade activities.

With Ebizfiling, you can update your IEC license online in just a few clicks. Our team ensures your application is filed correctly on the DGFT portal, saving you from rejection or delays. From digital signature setup to document submission, we handle everything efficiently so your IEC remains active and compliant.
