Import Export Code (IEC) Registration
The DGFT-issued code every business needs before it can import or export goods and services from India - mandatory, one-time, and PAN-linked.
Only one Import Export Code can be issued against a single PAN, across all branches.
No renewal needed, but annual online updation on the DGFT portal is required.
Some categories of pure service exports are exempt - we check applicability first.
Your current account details must match IEC records for smooth remittances.
How it works

Run your diagnostic →Beyond the certificate, into the trade itself.
IEC issued before your first shipment or payment is due, not after.
We flag FLA return and ODI obligations that follow from cross-border activity.
Your IEC sits inside the same compliance calendar as everything else we manage.
