About Import Export Code Registration

An Importer Exporter Code identifies a person or entity for relevant foreign-trade transactions. It is issued through DGFT and linked to PAN. It does not replace customs requirements, product restrictions, GST or other sector-specific permissions.

What you get

Foreign-trade identifier — Obtain the identifier used for relevant import/export processes.
Entity-linked record — Keep trade particulars connected to the correct PAN and business.
Organised banking details — Align applicant and bank records for the application.
Compliance awareness — Identify additional product, customs and reporting requirements.

Who this is for

  • Identify the applicant entity and the nature of the planned import or export.
  • Check whether IEC is required for the transaction or an exemption applies.
  • Confirm PAN-linked details, a suitable bank account, address and authorised signing arrangements.

Documents required

We send this as a single written checklist so you are not chased for documents one at a time.

1PAN and constitution — Applicant PAN, legal name and incorporation or birth particulars consistent with the validation records.
2Business address — Permitted ownership, lease or occupation evidence for the declared premises; owner consent and supporting records where applicable.
3Bank proof — Cancelled cheque or bank certificate as applicable, with account-holder details and the correct IFSC. Electronic bank validation may also apply.
4Promoters and signatory — Proprietor, partner, director and authorised-person particulars relevant to the entity.
5Authentication — Access to the authorised mobile/email and supported Aadhaar e-sign or digital-signature arrangement. Authentication should remain under the applicant's control.

After the filing

What stays your responsibility once this is done.

  • Review DGFT's annual update or confirmation requirement even where details have not changed.
  • Keep bank, address and ownership particulars current.
  • Check product restrictions, customs and other permissions for actual transactions.
