Import Export Code (IEC) Registration for Businesses

Legally Initiate Your Global Trade Operations with IEC Issued by DGFT

Any business or individual intending to engage in import or export of goods or services from India must obtain an Import Export Code (IEC). This 10-digit registration number is issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It is a mandatory legal requirement for international trade operations, customs clearance, and availing export-related benefits.

At Consult Your Counsel, we provide professional IEC registration services with end-to-end assistance, ensuring timely compliance and seamless documentation.
