Executive summary

The Import Export Code is a 10-digit number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and is mandatory for any business importing or exporting goods and services from India. Without an IEC, customs clearance is not possible. DHULL handles the complete application, eligibility verification, DGFT portal filing, and post-registration setup, so your international trade operations begin without delay.
