An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that allows businesses to import or export goods and services from India. If a business discontinues international trade or is no longer required to use the IEC, it must surrender or cancel the IEC license.
The IEC cancellation online process ensures that your business is officially removed from DGFT’s import-export records. Surrendering an IEC helps prevent future compliance issues, avoids misuse, and keeps your firm’s registration clean in government records.
At Ebizfiling, our experts assist you in surrendering your IEC license smoothly by preparing documents, filing the online request on DGFT, and completing the cancellation process within a few working days.
