Trusted by 1,10,000+ businesses in Hyderabad. 4,000+ IEC registrations done. DGFT-issued code for every importer and exporter.
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.
Hyderabad, as India's Cyberabad, has significant import and export activity with businesses in manufacturing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Telangana-based exporters can claim RoDTEP rates, duty drawbacks, and IGST refunds — all of which require a valid IEC. ClearlyComply has registered IEC for hundreds of traders in Hyderabad.
