IEC is required by anyone who is looking to start their import/export business in India. It is issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). It is a 10-digit code that needs to be renewed annually. Without IEC, the importer merchants cannot import goods. Similarly, the exporter merchants cannot avail benefits from DGFT for the export scheme without IEC.
