IEC (import–export): filing help in Noida

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issues the IEC. We coordinate PAN, GSTIN and address details on their process. We do not allot the code or clear cargo.

In plain language, iec

An IEC is how Indian customs and DGFT identify an importer or exporter on shipping bills and bills of entry. If your consignment type requires IEC, there is no substitute “GST-only” clearance for that role.

IEC is not permission to move restricted or prohibited goods. Those need separate licences. IEC is identity for trade, not a product licence.

WhatsApp 9540111126 with “IEC”. Office: 187, Saraswathi Vihar, Block A, Khora Colony, Sector 62, Noida.

Why it matters

Why this document is needed

Banks, CHAs and overseas buyers store IEC next to GSTIN so the legal entity on the invoice matches the entity on the bill of lading.

DGFT has linked IEC processes with GSTIN and PAN. The live form’s validations win over old PDF checklists from 2018.

Without IEC, a regular import or export transaction that requires one will not complete at customs in the normal way.

Where it is used

What it is used for

  • Customs clearance where IEC is mandatory for that shipment type
  • CHA and AD-bank KYC that lists IEC
  • Updating address or authorised person on an existing IEC when DGFT allows it
If you do not have it

Problems that can come up

  • The booking or the bill of entry can stop until IEC exists.
  • IEC will not legalise restricted goods. Missing a product licence is a separate failure.
  • Using someone else’s IEC is not a workaround we will assist with.
