Importer Exporter Code

IEC Registration Online

Entering global trade starts with obtaining an Importer Exporter Code (IEC). Issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the IEC is a mandatory 10-digit registration for any business involved in importing or exporting goods or services from India.

At Thrive Tax Solutions, we simplify the IEC registration process, ensuring fast approval and complete DGFT compliance so you can focus on expanding your business internationally.
