What is an Import Export Code (IEC)?
The fundamental key to unlocking international trade for your business.
An Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-character alphanumeric identification number issued by the Goverment Portal for import and export activities.
No export or import of goods shall be made without an IEC unless the applicable regulations specifically exempt the transaction or category for commercial exports of goods, including shipments made through courier services, IEC requirements should be checked before shipment. Certain categories may be exempt under DGFT rules.
Why You Must Have an IEC
It's not just a rule—it opens up huge financial benefits for your business.
Global Market Access

Government Export Benefits
An IEC allows you to claim highly profitable government export incentives like RoDTEP, Duty Drawback, and EPCG schemes.
Lifetime Validity
Unlike other licenses, IEC is generally valid for the lifetime of the business (it only requires a simple annual profile update).

Banks require your IEC to process inward remittances safely when your international buyers send you money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, direct answers regarding the Import Export Code.
GST registration and IEC are separate requirements. An IEC application is based on the applicant's PAN and applicable DGFT requirements. Whether GST registration is also required depends on the business activity and applicable GST rules.
Yes. You do not need to have a Private Limited Company. A sole proprietorship (individual) can apply for and obtain an IEC using their personal PAN card and a current bank account.
IEC is generally issued once and remains valid unless suspended/cancelled. IEC holders must update or confirm their IEC details annually during April–June as required by government portal.
For commercial exports of physical goods from India, an IEC is generally required unless the shipment falls under an applicable exemption. Etsy sellers should verify the current DGFT and courier/customs requirements before shipping.
