Import Export Code (IEC)
Import Export Code, filed with DGFT.
We prepare and file your IEC application with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, linked correctly to your PAN and bank account.
What is Import Export Code (IEC)?
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that is mandatory for any business or individual looking to import or export goods or services from India, with a few specific exemptions.
Without an IEC, customs clearance, international bank transfers for trade, and export benefit schemes generally can't proceed.
Gurur Consultancy prepares your IEC application linked to your business PAN and bank account, and files it on the DGFT portal.
