overview
What is IEC Registration?
An Import Export Code (IEC) is your legal gateway to international trade. Without a 10-digit IEC issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), you cannot clear customs, receive international payments, or export goods and services from India.
IEC is mandatory for any individual or business engaged in import or export activities — including sole proprietors, partnerships, LLPs, Private Limited Companies, and freelancers providing international services. There is no renewal required — IEC is a lifetime registration. Swasthik Capitals handles DGFT portal filing, DSC validation, and delivers your IEC certificate digitally.

Benefits
Enable global trade, receive international payments, and expand your business beyond borders.
Lifetime Registration — No Renewal
Unlike most business licenses, IEC is a one-time registration with no renewal requirement — register once and export forever.
Unlock Export Incentives
Access DGFT export promotion schemes, RoDTEP benefits, and GST refunds on export of goods and services.
International Payment Clearance
Banks require a valid IEC to process international wire transfers — essential for receiving foreign currency payments.
Customs Clearance Authorization
Without IEC, your goods cannot clear Indian customs for export or be released upon import. IEC is the minimum legal requirement.
Service Export Eligibility
IT companies, consultants, and freelancers providing services internationally need IEC for foreign remittance receipt and GST refund claims.
No Annual Compliance Required
IEC holders are only required to file a declaration if there were no import-export transactions — minimal ongoing compliance.
