2. What is Import Export Code?
Import Export Code or IEC is a 10-digit code that a
business or a person needs to import/export
goods/services. This code is issued by DGFT
(Director General of Foreign trade), Ministry of
Commerce and Industries, Government of India. The
validity of this code is for lifetime, that is, there is no
need to renew it.
3. When is IEC code required?
It is needed by the custom authorities to clear the
shipments in the case of any imports.
Also, it is needed by the bank to transfer the amount
in the case of any imports made.
Vis-à-vis if an exporter needs to send the shipments,
then it is required.
Or, if the exporter is supposed to receive money in
foreign currency and it is transferred directly into his
bank account.
