Starting international trade can be exciting, but the registration side often raises practical questions. These are some of the difficulties business owners commonly encounter.

Unsure Whether IEC Is Required

First-time importers and exporters may not know whether their particular activity requires an IEC or falls under an applicable exemption.

Confusion About the DGFT Process

The IEC application is handled through the DGFT system. Business owners unfamiliar with the portal may find the registration steps difficult to navigate.

Incorrect or Inconsistent Business Details

Differences between PAN, business name, address or banking information can create application-related issues. Checking these details beforehand is important.

Uncertainty About Documents

Different business structures may require different supporting documents. Applicants often need clarification about which documents are appropriate for their particular circumstances.

Bank Account Validation Issues

Bank-account details form an important part of the current DGFT process. Errors or validation problems can affect the application process.

First-Time International Business

A business entering international trade for the first time may not be familiar with IEC requirements and the other compliances that can apply to imports or exports.

Application Corrections

If an application requires correction or additional information, business owners may not know exactly what needs to be changed or submitted.

Lack of Time

Managing customers, suppliers, employees and daily operations leaves many entrepreneurs with limited time to handle government registration formalities themselves.

An Import Export Code (IEC) is a registration associated with an importer or exporter through the DGFT system. It is commonly known as an IEC and plays an important role in India’s import-export framework.

Businesses undertaking eligible international trade activities generally need to consider IEC requirements before commencing such transactions.
