Manufacturer-exporters in KK Nagar Virugambakkam Road 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.
GSTIN and IEC serve different purposes. Customs validates the IEC on shipping bills and bills of entry, so an IEC is generally required for goods import or export regardless of GST. Some service transactions are exempt, but incentive claims usually still need an IEC.
No. Only one IEC is allotted per PAN under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. If a firm inadvertently holds a duplicate, the extra IEC must be surrendered through ANF 2A; DGFT may otherwise suspend the codes until the duplication is resolved.
An AD (Authorised Dealer) Code is issued by your bank and registered at each port on ICEGATE. Without an AD-Code registration linked to your IEC, Customs will not let you file a shipping bill, so exports cannot physically move.
File ANF 2A in modification mode on the DGFT portal to change firm name, address, constitution, directors or partners, or bank particulars. Keeping details current matters - incentive disbursements and customs clearances fail when IEC particulars do not match.
Yes. A firm that stops importing or exporting can surrender its IEC through ANF 2A on the DGFT portal. DGFT then intimates Customs and the RBI, preventing future misuse of a dormant code linked to your PAN.
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.

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.
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.
SCOMET export applications are filed on the DGFT portal and routed through an inter-ministerial Working Group (Department of Atomic Energy, Defence, External Affairs, Space) for clearance. Typical processing time is 4-6 weeks, longer for sensitive categories. The applicant exporter must provide end-use certificate from the importer, technical specifications, and intended end-use. Catch-all controls under SCOMET regulations apply even to non-listed items where end-use is suspect (potential WMD application).
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.
Imports under IEC are declared through Bill of Entry filed on ICEGATE under Sections 46 and 47 of the Customs Act 1962. Three types: Home Consumption Bill of Entry (for direct release), Warehousing Bill of Entry (deferred clearance to a customs-bonded warehouse), and Ex-Bond Bill of Entry (subsequent release from warehouse). Self-assessment of duty under Section 17 is the norm, with Risk Management System (RMS) selecting consignments for examination. Faceless assessment and the Turant Customs initiative have reduced clearance times substantially since 2020.
Service exports under FTP 2023 are dealt with in Chapter 7 with a specific focus on identifying eligible services and structuring incentive mechanisms. The earlier Service Exports from India Scheme (SEIS) was discontinued from 01-April-2022. Service exporters now access procedural benefits (Status Holder recognition, AEO eligibility) but not direct cash-equivalent incentives. The RBI purpose code structure (P0801 to P0809 and beyond) classifies service exports for FEMA reporting — software services, business consulting, financial services, R&D, etc.
Software exports — both packaged software and on-site/off-site services — are subject to special documentation through the SOFTEX form filed with the AD bank and certified by STPI (Software Technology Parks of India). The SOFTEX framework operates under FEMA Notification 23(R)/2015 and is the principal mechanism for monitoring software-export realisation. IEC + STPI registration + SOFTEX filing per invoice is the operational stack for software exporters claiming export-realisation status under FEMA.
FTP 2023 has elevated e-commerce exports as a dedicated focus area. Exports through courier and postal mode under simplified shipping-bill procedures (Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations 2010) allow small consignment exports without the full ICEGATE shipping-bill apparatus. Value caps and category restrictions apply. The e-commerce export window has expanded to USD 10,000 per consignment under the simplified regime, supporting D2C exporters and small-batch sellers on Amazon, eBay, and similar global platforms.
