What is IEC Code under DGFT?

The Importer-Exporter Code is a 10-digit unique identification number issued by the DGFT to traders to trade internationally, including:

  • Receiving foreign currency

The IEC 2026 mandatory annual update must be done through the DGFT portal between April 1st, 2026 and June 30th, 2026.

Firms engaged in the export or import of their products and services for commercial use are eligible for the IEC. This includes

  • Sole Proprietors,
  • Partnership and LLP,
  • Private and public limited company,
  • Trust, HUF, Society engaged in trade,
  • E-commerce platforms like Amazon

In short, any business engaged in commercial international trade needs the IEC for custom clearance and banking transactions.

  • Enabling exporters to benefit from DGFT schemes (EPCG, Advance Authorisation, RoDTEP), duty exemptions, and tax refunds.

  • Strengthens business reputation and builds trust with international clients
