The Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) serves as a crucial identifier for businesses engaged in import and export activities in India. Without this unique code, no entity is permitted to engage in international trade, making it an indispensable requirement for businesses venturing into global fields of commercialisation.

 

Also referred to as Export License, Import License, IE Code, IEC Code, EXIM License, and EXIM License, the IEC Certificate is a fundamental document that facilitates fluent trade operations. With the advent of GST, the IEC issued aligns with the firm’s Permanent Account Number (PAN), streamlining the registration process.

Business entities eligible to obtain an Importer-Exporter Code encompass a diverse range, including proprietorships, partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), limited companies, trusts, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and societies.

 

The necessity of an IE code arises in various scenarios, highlighting its significance in international trade:

  1. Customs Clearance: Importers are mandated to present their Importer-Exporter Code to customs authorities for clearing shipments at ports.
  2. International Fund Transfers: Banks require the Importer-Exporter Code when individuals or entities transfer funds abroad.
  3. Export Shipments: Exporters must furnish their Importer-Exporter Code to customs authorities when dispatching shipments overseas.
  4. Receipt of Foreign Currency: Exporters receiving payments in foreign currency directly into their bank accounts are obligated to provide their Importer-Exporter Code to the bank.
