  • In the case of service or technology, if the provider is taking benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy, then the IE code registration is mandatory for them.
Whether obtaining an IE code is mandatory for all?

No. Import Export Code registration is not compulsory for the below-mentioned activities:

If the import or export of goods is done for personal use.
If the import or export is carried out by any Government Ministry or department or a notified charitable organization.
Any other category mentioned or defined by the DGFT.

Can an individual apply for IEC registration?

Any individual involved in the import and export of goods or services for the purpose of conducting business can make an IE Code application. They can obtain the IE code by filing an online application accompanied by required documents. In case the person does not have a current account for the business, he/she may provide a canceled cheque of the savings account for the purpose of filing an IE code application.

Whether copy of the PAN Card is required to be uploaded?

No, i.e. 09.08.2018, DGFT has integrated the PAN web service of CBDT with the server; therefore PAN card is not required to be uploaded. However, for the purpose of filing an application, a copy of the PAN card is required to be submitted to the team.

What is the validity of import-export code registration?

The Import Export Code comes with a lifelong validity unless the same is withdrawn or surrendered. Once the applicant receives the IE Code, there is no need to re-register as it is a perpetual registration.

Whether the separate application is to be made for another branch?

No, there is no requirement to make a separate application for different places of business. This is a PAN based registration. Hence, the single registration will be valid for all the businesses and branches under the same entity.

Whether more than one IEC can be issued against one PAN?

Only a single IEC can be issued against a single PAN card. If at all more than one IEC is issued then it has to be surrendered to the regional office.

Is there any penalty for not having an importer and exporter code?

No, there is no penalty however, the import or export is not possible without IE code.
