About this service

Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce. It is mandatory for any commercial entity engaged in importing goods or exporting goods and commercial services outside India.

What's included

Everything in one transparent fee โ€” no add-ons, no surprises.

Error-Free DGFT Profiling
The Ministry of Commerce portal enforces strict data validation. A minor mismatch between your PAN database and your bank records leads to instant rejection. We perform a stringent forensic check of your KYC documents before hitting submit, ensuring a 100% first-time approval rate for your Import Export Code.
Complex Corporate Filings
While individual IECs are simple, registering a Private Limited Company or an LLP requires mapping multiple directors, attaching Board Resolutions, and configuring Class 3 Digital Signatures. We handle these complex corporate architectures smoothly, ensuring all subsidiary branches are accurately listed.
Guaranteed Annual Updating
DGFT regulations mandate that every IEC must be electronically re-validated annually between April and June. If missed, your code is suspended, halting your shipments at the port. We enroll you in our automated compliance tracker, performing this update on your behalf flawlessly every year.
Bank Details PFMS Troubleshooting
The most common bottleneck in IEC generation is the failure of the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) to validate the applicant's bank account. Our team knows how to troubleshoot these backend banking mismatches, working with bank managers if necessary to push the validation through.
Expedited Deficiency Resolution
If the DGFT officer flags your application for 'Deficiency' (e.g., demanding a clearer photo or questioning the rent agreement), our rapid response team drafts technical compliance letters and uploads the required proofs within hours, preventing application abandonment.
ICEGATE & AD Code Bridging
An IEC alone won't get your goods past customs; it must be registered on the ICEGATE portal, and your bank's AD Code must be integrated. We provide end-to-end bridging services, guiding you from DGFT approval to final customs port registration.
