Beyond IEC, FTP benefits demand RCMC from a designated EPC under Para 2.59 of FTP 2023, AD Code registration at the Customs port and ICEGATE enrolment. RoDTEP scrips, Duty Drawback and IGST refund routes are configured at first shipment.
Manufacturer-exporters in Anna Nagar West access duty-free imports under EPCG (Chapter 5 FTP 2023) and Advance Authorisation (Chapter 4 FTP 2023), or operate under Section 65 Customs Bonded Manufacturing (MOOWR Regulations 2019) with full duty deferral and zero duty on exports.
Yes, if they import or export goods. A proprietor applies using their personal PAN, which becomes the firm's IEC. Individuals exporting only personal-use items, or covered by a specific notified exemption, need not obtain an IEC.
Yes. Under Section 7 of the FTDR Act 1992 and the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, no person may import into or export out of India without a valid Importer-Exporter Code, except for a few notified exemptions such as personal-use goods.
The IEC is a 10-digit code issued by the DGFT. Since 2021 it is the same as the firm's PAN, so one PAN maps to one IEC. It is a permanent registration identifying the firm for all cross-border trade and customs clearance.
The government fee for a fresh IEC on the DGFT portal is ₹500, and annual updation is free. Professional fees for document preparation, DSC or Aadhaar authentication and AD Code registration are separate and depend on the scope of assistance.
You need the firm's PAN, proof of establishment or incorporation, address proof of the business premises, a cancelled cheque or bank certificate for the current account, and the applicant's Aadhaar for e-Sign or a Class 3 DSC for authentication.
With Aadhaar e-Sign and complete documents, an IEC is usually issued within one to two working days of a clean DGFT application. Delays arise from PAN-name mismatches, unverified bank details, or an inactive mobile or email on the profile.

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under Section 7 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992. The FTDR Act 1992 replaced the older Imports and Exports (Control) Act 1947 and established a statutory framework that emphasises trade promotion over trade control. Section 7 of the FTDR Act makes IEC mandatory for any person undertaking the import or export of goods, with limited exemptions notified by the Central Government. The IEC number, once issued, is permanent and is linked to the Permanent Account Number of the holder under the rationalisation introduced by DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017. The Foreign Trade Policy 2023, which replaced FTP 2015-20 with effect from 01-April-2023, continues the FTDR-Act-based architecture and consolidates IEC issuance, modification, and deactivation rules in Chapter 1 and the Handbook of Procedures.
DGFT Notification 27/2015-20 dated 08-Aug-2018 and the corresponding FTP 2023 provisions clarify that IEC is not required for: (a) import or export of goods for personal use not connected with trade, manufacture, or agriculture; (b) import or export by Central or State Government departments; (c) import or export by specified charitable institutions; (d) services exports unless the exporter intends to claim FTP benefits. Despite these exemptions, AD Category-I banks under FEMA regulations frequently require IEC for processing inward remittances against export proceeds — leading services exporters to obtain IEC voluntarily. The practical consequence is that IEC is functionally near-universal for cross-border commerce, even where strict FTDR-Act mandate is absent.
Following DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017, IEC numbers are now identical to the holder's PAN, replacing the earlier system of distinct 10-digit codes. The one-IEC-per-PAN rule means that a single entity (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, society, HUF) cannot hold multiple IECs. Where group entities share a common promoter family, each separate legal person obtains its own PAN-linked IEC. This architecture aligns with the post-GST trade-identity rationalisation and integrates IEC with GSTIN, ICEGATE and the AD-bank reporting ecosystems for end-to-end traceability of trade transactions.
India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR, formed in 2018 by merging DGAD and DGS) administers anti-dumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard investigations under the Customs Tariff Act 1975 Sections 9, 9A, and 8B respectively. Indian exporters face anti-dumping investigations in destination markets — the US Section 201 tariffs on solar cells, EU anti-dumping on Indian stainless steel, and similar measures are illustrative. Active participation in destination-country investigations through legal representation is critical to securing favourable individual margins or exclusions.
The WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) entered into force on 22-February-2017 after the requisite ratification threshold was met. India ratified TFA on 22-April-2016. The TFA mandates simplification of customs procedures, advance rulings, electronic payments, transparency in fees and formalities, and Single Window systems. India's compliance roadmap is implemented through the National Committee on Trade Facilitation (NCTF) and the National Trade Facilitation Action Plan. The Indian Single Window for trade (SWIFT) and the e-Sanchit document-upload platform are key TFA-compliance artefacts.
The Information Technology Agreement (ITA-I, 1996) and the expansion ITA-II (2015) are WTO plurilateral agreements eliminating tariffs on a specified list of IT and electronics products. India is a party to ITA-I but has not joined ITA-II — a position driven by domestic electronics-manufacturing policy objectives. The ITA-II non-participation means Indian exporters of certain electronics enjoy zero-duty access to ITA-II member markets (the agreement is MFN-applied) while India retains tariff space on inbound electronics for domestic-industry protection. This asymmetry is a strategic feature of India's WTO posture.
FTP 2023 introduced General Authorization for Export of SCOMET Items (GAES) for low-risk, frequently exported SCOMET items to vetted destinations. The Bulk SCOMET Authorization permits an exporter to make multiple shipments of a specified item to specified consignees within an authorization period — reducing transaction friction for repeat exporters. Repeat-exporter status, demonstrated compliance history, and consignee due diligence are critical for accessing these facilitated routes.
Violation of SCOMET provisions attracts severe penalties under the FTDR Act 1992 (Sections 11 and 13 — penalty up to 5 times the value of goods), Customs Act 1962 (Section 113 — confiscation of goods, Section 114 — penalty), and the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Act 2005. Reputational damage from SCOMET violation includes blacklisting by international counterparts and potential denial of US export-control licences to Indian counterparties — making compliance a strategic, not merely tactical, concern.
Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) is India's national export-control regime for dual-use items, governed by Appendix 3 to Schedule 2 of ITC-HS and aligned with India's commitments under the Wassenaar Arrangement, Australia Group, Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). The SCOMET list has 9 categories (0 to 8) covering nuclear materials, chemicals and biological materials, materials processing, electronics, computers, telecommunications, information security, sensors and lasers, navigation, marine and aerospace. SCOMET licensing is administered by DGFT in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs and other security-cleared agencies.
Section 14 of the Customs Act 1962, read with the Customs Valuation (Determination of Value of Imported Goods) Rules 2007, governs the valuation of imports. The primary method is transaction value (the price actually paid or payable) subject to additions for royalties, commissions, freight, and insurance. Related-party transactions trigger Special Valuation Branch (SVB) investigation — exporters and importers belonging to multinational group structures must be prepared for SVB review of inter-company pricing.
Post-GST, the customs duty structure on imports comprises: Basic Customs Duty (BCD) under the Customs Tariff Act 1975 first schedule; Social Welfare Surcharge at 10% of BCD; IGST under Section 3(7) of the Customs Tariff Act (equivalent to GST on inter-State supply); GST Compensation Cess where applicable; Anti-dumping duty / safeguard duty where notified. BCD and Social Welfare Surcharge are pure customs duties, while IGST and Compensation Cess are creditable as ITC by the registered importer.
ITC-HS Schedule 1 categorises imports as Free (most items), Restricted (require specific authorization), or Prohibited (banned). Restricted imports require DGFT-issued specific authorization (e.g., second-hand machinery beyond specified age, certain wildlife products subject to CITES). Prohibited imports include narcotic drugs under the NDPS Act 1985, certain wildlife under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, and specified hazardous wastes under the Basel Convention. IEC holders must classify imports correctly to avoid Section 111-114 confiscation and penalty exposure.
