Import Export Code Validity and Renewal

The Validity of an IEC code is 1 year. Unlike other government licenses, The Import Export Code was valid for a lifetime. However, after the amendments in Foreign Trade Policy on 12th February 2021, the import-export code has now to be renewed every year.

This amendment made the renewal of Import Export Code details mandatory for every IEC and e-EIC holder. Even if there are no updates in IEC, the same has to be confirmed online on the DGFT portal. Failing to do so may result in the deactivation of your Import Export code.
