Who Require to Register IEC ?

Import Export Code (IEC) registration is essential for any individual or business entity that intends to engage in import or export activities in India. It is mandatory under the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992. You require IEC Registration if you are:

  • A manufacturer or trader who wants to export goods outside India
  • A service provider offering services internationally and receiving foreign currency (e.g., software, consulting, digital marketing, etc.)
  • An e-commerce exporter selling through platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Etsy, etc., to overseas customers
  • A freelancer or startup providing services to foreign clients
  • A business importing goods, raw materials, or equipment from other countries

Note: Even if your business is not involved in regular imports/exports, IEC is required to clear shipments with customs and receive or send foreign currency payments.
