Import export code (IEC) is a key 10-digit business Identification number issued by DGFT (Director General of Foreign Trade), Ministry of Commerce & Industry. It is mandatory to have Import Export Code for Import-Export Business. IEC is valid for a lifetime, and after the GST regime, the IEC number is the same as your PAN card number.
Unless specifically exempted, you can not export from India or Import in India without an Import Export Code. IEC is also required to claim Export and Import Incentive Schemes like MEIS, SEIS, RoSTCL, EPCG, etc.
IEC is electronically (e-IEC) issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade, which comes under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India.
