What is IEC

Import Export Code (IEC) Simplified

An IEC is a unique 10-digit code issued by India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that you need to legally import or export goods and services. The IEC has lifetime validity, but to apply, modify, or renew it on the DGFT portal, a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate is now mandatory. Browse our full range of DSC services if you need something beyond DGFT.

Who Needs IEC?

Any individual, proprietor, partner, director, or authorized signatory of an organization (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, HUF, society) that wants to legally import or export goods and services from India must obtain an IEC.

  • Manufacturers & Traders
  • Exporters & Importers
  • Service Providers
  • Foreign Companies

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

IEC is a unique 10-digit identification number issued by India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to individuals and organizations. It's mandatory to import or export any goods or services from India. The IEC has lifetime validity, but annual profile updates and any modifications require a valid Class 3 DSC.
Choose Individual DSC if you're filing Income Tax or EPFO in your own name. Choose Organisation DSC if you sign for a company on GST, MCA or ROC. Choose Combo/DGFT DSC if your business holds an IEC and files on DGFT or ICEGATE.
While Aadhaar-based authentication can be used for initial IEC application, Class 3 DSC is now required for companies, LLPs, partnerships, and any modifications or renewals. For best practices and faster approvals, we recommend having a valid Class 3 DSC ready before applying.
After completing Aadhaar eKYC verification (which takes 10-15 minutes), your Class 3 DSC is typically generated within 1-4 hours. The USB token is couriered to you or available for immediate pickup within the same or next business day.
A USB token is a FIPS-140 certified hardware device that stores your private key securely. It's required by CCA guidelines for Class 3 DSC to prevent unauthorized access. You plug it into your computer when signing DGFT documents — the private key never leaves the token. Need one separately? View token options.
Yes! A single Class 3 DSC can be used across multiple government portals — GSTN, MCA21, Income Tax, DGFT/IEC, and ICEGATE. Just register your DSC token on each portal. No need to buy separate certificates for each application, unless you specifically need a Combo/DGFT certificate.
Contact us immediately. We can help you revoke the compromised certificate and issue a replacement token with the same certificate data. Replacement tokens are typically ready within 24-48 hours, and any remaining validity is transferred.
No — your Class 3 DSC remains valid for the 1-year period you purchased. However, your IEC profile must be updated annually on the DGFT portal to prevent deactivation. When your DSC nears expiry, renew it to avoid a gap in DGFT access.
