IEC Code Registration in New Delhi at ₹1,499 – Apply Online Via DGFT

Launching an export and import business in New Delhi means applying for an Import Export Code (IEC) with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The IEC Code is a unique code containing ten digits and is associated with a PAN number. If you are an individual or corporation, the IEC Code is required to export goods/services outside of India and import goods into India.

If you operate through one of the major shipping/transportation facilities in New Delhi, such as Indira Gandhi Airport, you will not be able to clear your shipments through customs or make any payments to foreign vendors, nor will you be able to use any of the government-supported programs for promoting trade without having the valid IEC Code.

You may apply for your IEC code through an electronic application process. Your code will need to be kept active with the DGFT by renewing it every year.

The IEC registration process in New Delhi provides valuable advantages that enable businesses to carry out their import-export activities in a smooth and legally compliant manner. Once teams have been approved by the local authorities, they will receive an e-IEC certificate from Delhi, which serves as the official record of their eligibility to perform international trade.

• International Operations: The Import Export Code gives Indian businesses in Delhi a chance to expand into the global marketplace with their products or services. IEC is also mandatory for international trade and supports business growth across foreign countries, including businesses operating in nearby regions, such as IEC for Noida and Gurugram businesses.
• Legitimizing Global Trade: The IEC establishes legal authority to export and/or import goods and services to/from other countries by providing companies with the necessary documentation for cross-border trade.
• Online Regstration Process: The IEC registration process can be completed entirely online; submitting all the documentation required by law will enable an applicant to obtain their IEC electronically without ever having to physically visit a local government office.
• Duty Concessions: Companies with an IEC may be eligible to receive government support, including the reimbursement of export-related expenses via export subsidies, duty drawback claims, and other tax incentives provided under the Foreign Trade Act.
• Customs Declaration: It is mandatory to include the importer's IEC Code on all customs forms submitted to customs (for example, a bill of Lading). All vessel moves in and out of Indian ports (whether directly or through another country) will require an active, valid IEC code on file with the Indian Customs Service.
