What Is Import Export Code Registration?
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-character alphanumeric identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
It is generally required for Indian businesses that import goods into India or export goods from India. IEC registration helps businesses meet applicable import-export requirements and conduct international trade with the appropriate documentation.
