Import Export Code (IEC) – Book Max Consultancy, Bangalore
The Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is a unique 10-digit identification code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It is mandatory for any business or individual engaged in import or export in India. Without an IEC, no person or entity can legally conduct import or export activities.
Note: Individuals importing or exporting goods for personal use, unrelated to trade, manufacturing, or agriculture, are exempt from obtaining an IEC.
