Step-by-Step IEC Updation Process

From document collection to final approval — every step made simple and transparent.

Documentation Collection

The client provides all required documents necessary for initiating the IEC application or updation process.

IEC Application Filing

The application is filed with the concerned department. OTP verification received via registered email and mobile number may be required each time we log in to the DGFT portal.

Client Review & Confirmation

The completed application is shared with the client for review and signature. Once approved, the signed application is uploaded on the DGFT portal.

Application Submission

The application is formally submitted to the department, either with or without a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), as applicable.

Issuance of Import Export Code (IEC)

Upon successful processing, the IEC is issued by the department and sent directly to the client.

When Is Import Export Code (IEC) Modification Required?

IEC modification or updation is required whenever there is a change in the details of the registered entity, such as business information, address, or ownership particulars.

What Are the Types of GST Amendments?

Advantages of IEC Modification or Updation

1. As per DGFT Notification No. 58/2015–2020 dated 12 February 2021, IEC holders must update or confirm their IEC details online every year during the April–June period, even if no changes are required.

2. Prevents delays or issues at ports caused by data mismatches.

3. Enables businesses to expand globally and engage in international trade.

4. IEC is issued for a lifetime, offering long-term benefits through a one-time registration.

5. Allows businesses to avail benefits, incentives, and subsidies offered by the DGFT.

6. No periodic return filing is required for IEC compliance.

7. Proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, companies, and other business entities are eligible to obtain an IEC.

Allotment of Import Export Code (IEC)

Once the application and supporting documents are verified, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issues the Import Export Code to the applicant.
