Introduction
Starting an import-export business is a dream for many entrepreneurs in India. But before you can send or receive goods internationally, there’s one important thing you need — IEC Code. This is the Directorate General of Foreign Trade's (DGFT) import-export code. Importing or exporting products from India is illegal without this code. The good news? You don’t have to worry about the lengthy procedures or confusing paperwork. Online Digital India is here to make your IEC code registration easy, fast, and 100% hassle-free. Let’s understand how edigital helps you every step of the way.
What is an IEC Code?
The IEC (Import Export Code) is a unique 10-digit number that every importer or exporter in India must have. It’s like your business’s passport for international trade.
Once you get an IEC code, it is valid for a lifetime. It’s required for:
Importing goods from other countries.
Exporting Indian products to global markets.
Clearing shipments through customs.
Receiving foreign currency in your business account.
Why Is It Difficult for Individuals to Apply on Their Own?
Many people try to apply for the IEC code themselves but get stuck due to:
Technical errors on the DGFT website.
Wrong document formats.
Confusion in choosing the right business structure.
Delays due to missing or incorrect details.
This is where Online Digital India comes in as your trusted guide.
