Questions

Import Export Code (IEC): questions

Is there a government fee?

Yes, a small DGFT fee (about ₹500), shown before you pay. Our fee covers doing and tracking the application.

Does IEC expire?

No, it's lifetime, but it must be updated on DGFT once a year (even with no change) or it is deactivated. We remind you.
