Unlock International Markets for Your Business
Take your business global and start importing or exporting goods and services without administrative hurdles. Under Indian foreign trade policy, obtaining a 10-digit Import Export Code (IEC) from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is a mandatory requirement for any business or individual planning to trade across international borders. Without an active IEC, your shipments will be cleared neither by Indian Customs authorities at ports nor by overseas freight forwarders. Starting at just ₹999/-, SetCorpTax manages your complete digital IEC registration—from DGFT profile creation and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) linkage to instant certificate generation.
THE GATEWAY TO GLOBAL COMMERCE
Why Every Importer & Exporter Needs an IEC Code
Securing an import export code online is the single most critical step for any entrepreneur, manufacturer, or merchant looking to tap into overseas markets. Issued by the DGFT under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, this 10-digit primary registration acts as your unique corporate identity for cross-border trade.
Whether you are importing raw materials, exporting finished goods, selling on global e-commerce platforms like Amazon Global Selling, or providing cross-border digital services, your IEC number must be quoted on all shipping bills, custom declarations, and bank foreign outward/inward remittances. Unlike other business registrations that require periodic renewals, an IEC holds lifetime validity, meaning you only need to register once to keep your international trade channels open forever. Our automated engine streamlines the submission process, ensuring your application is approved on the DGFT system without errors or rejections.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Import Export Code
Not always, but highly recommended. According to DGFT guidelines, an IEC is mandatory for service providers only if they wish to claim incentives under government schemes like SEIS (Service Exports from India Scheme). However, for importing or exporting physical goods, an IEC is 100% mandatory regardless of business size or shipment value.
An Import Export Code comes with lifetime validity, meaning it never expires. However, as per recent DGFT mandates, every active IEC holder must confirm or update their business details on the DGFT portal annually between April and June. If you fail to complete this annual updation, your IEC code will be placed under deactivated status until updated.
To process your application smoothly, you need to provide:
PAN card of the individual, proprietor, partnership firm, or company.
Applicant’s identity and address proof (Aadhaar, Passport, or Voter ID).
Proof of business premises (Registered Rent Agreement, Electricity Bill, or Property Tax receipt).
Pre-printed canceled check or bank certificate verifying your active current/savings bank account details.
Yes. You do not need to form a Private Limited company or LLP to get an IEC. An individual operating as a Sole Proprietor can apply for an IEC code using their personal PAN card and bank details.
