Import Export Code (IEC) is a mandatory 10-digit identification number issued by the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade). Every business or individual importing or exporting goods from India must obtain IEC before their first shipment. Without IEC, customs clearance is blocked and banks cannot process foreign currency remittances for trade. IEC is a one-time, lifetime-valid registration — no renewals — but requires mandatory annual updation on the DGFT portal.
Lifetime valid. DGFT-issued. All-inclusive ₹999 — government fee ₹500 included.
