Import Export Code is a ten-digit alphanumeric code issued by the DGFT - Directorate General of Foreign Trade to a business entity which is planning to do export or Import transactions. IEC stands for Import Export Code. It is a mandatory certificate which is required for all the Exim businesses irrespective of the industry type & scale of business, whether it is importing goods in India or exporting products to other countries. Without an IEC code, no import or export activity can take place.
IEC Code not only helps government organisation to track International business transactions but also plays an important role in promoting transparency & accountability.
