Complete Import Export Code Services Tailored for You by FinTax24

Starting an import or export business in India can be an exciting opportunity—but before you can send or receive goods across borders, there’s a crucial step you need to take: getting your Import Export Code (IEC). At FinTax24, we make the entire process of IEC registration, import export license assistance, and DGFT IEC registration smooth, transparent, and stress-free.

In this guide, we’ll explain what the import export code is, why you need it, and how our expert team can help you obtain your import export certificate quickly—so you can focus on growing your business.

What Is an Import Export Code (IEC)?

The Import Export Code is a unique 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It’s mandatory for any individual or business looking to engage in cross-border trade of goods or services.

• Without an IEC, you cannot import goods into India or export goods from India legally.
• It’s required by customs authorities during clearance of shipments.
• It’s essential for receiving payments in foreign currency through banks.

Why You Need an Import Export License

An import export license (commonly referred to as the IEC) is more than just a compliance requirement—it’s your gateway to international markets. Whether you’re a manufacturer, trader, or service provider, having an IEC unlocks:

• Global Trade Opportunities – Sell your products or services in overseas markets.
• Access to Government Benefits – Avail export promotion schemes and duty benefits.
• Simplified Customs Clearance – Avoid delays by providing a valid IEC during shipment clearance.
