IEC registration from DGFT for businesses engaged in import or export of goods and services — mandatory for all importers and exporters, obtained in 2–3 working days.
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit unique identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce. It is mandatory for any business or individual engaged in import or export of goods and services from India. Without IEC, customs clearance for imports and export benefits (MEIS, RoDTEP, etc.) cannot be availed.
AccentTax Consulting handles IEC registration end-to-end — from document preparation to DGFT portal filing and IEC certificate issuance. We also assist with IEC modification (change of address, bank account, directors) and IEC surrender for businesses winding down export operations.
