Registrations, licences and brand protection
Obtaining and updating an Importer Exporter Code
We help obtain an IEC through DGFT, update an existing code or address deactivation.
How we can help
- We check whether an IEC is required for the transaction and which exemptions might apply.
- We help prepare PAN details, address and bank account information, and the DGFT application.
- We explain how to confirm details annually and which additional product approvals may be needed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an IEC to export services?
An IEC is usually required for goods unless an exemption applies. For services and technology, check whether you claim foreign trade policy benefits or are subject to special requirements.
Do I have to confirm details even if they have not changed?
DGFT requires annual confirmation from April to June, including when nothing has changed. A missed deadline can result in deactivation until the information is updated.
Can I import any goods with an IEC?
Some products are subject to restrictions, licences, certification and customs documentation. We check these separately.
