What is an Import Export Code (IEC)?

The Import Export Code (IEC) is a unique 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. It is a mandatory business identification required for importing goods into India and exporting products or services to international markets. Without an IEC Certificate, businesses generally cannot carry out import or export activities or avail themselves of various export-related benefits provided by the DGFT.

The IEC Certificate is issued only once and remains valid for the lifetime of the business entity. There is no requirement for periodic renewal, making it a simple and long-term registration for businesses engaged in international trade.

Why is IEC Registration Important?

Import Export Code Registration is the foundation of every import-export business in India. It enables businesses to participate in global trade legally while complying with the regulations prescribed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).

An IEC Certificate is required for customs clearance of imported goods, receiving export payments through banks, remitting foreign currency for imports, and availing benefits under various export promotion schemes. It also enhances the credibility of your business while creating opportunities to expand into international markets.

Whether you are exporting handmade products, manufacturing industrial equipment, selling through international e-commerce platforms, or importing raw materials and machinery, IEC Registration is an essential step toward establishing your business in the global marketplace.

Product Eligibility Assessment

The first step is to determine whether your product requires WPC ETA Approval. Our experts evaluate the product specifications, wireless technology, operating frequency, and applicable regulatory requirements to confirm eligibility for certification.

RF Test Report Verification

A valid Radio Frequency (RF) Test Report is one of the most important requirements for obtaining WPC ETA Approval. The test report must be issued by an ILAC-accredited foreign laboratory or a NABL-accredited laboratory in India. Our team verifies the report to ensure it complies with WPC requirements before proceeding with the application.

Documentation Preparation

Our compliance specialists prepare and verify all required documents, including company information, technical specifications, authorization letters, RF test reports, and supporting declarations. Proper documentation helps avoid unnecessary objections during the approval process.

Online Application Filing

Once the documentation is complete, the WPC ETA application is prepared and submitted through the Saral Sanchar Portal. Every application is carefully reviewed before submission to ensure accuracy and compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.

Review by WPC Authority

After submission, the WPC authority examines the application, RF test report, and supporting documents. If additional information or clarification is required, our experts coordinate with the concerned department and respond promptly to ensure smooth processing.

Grant of WPC ETA Certificate

Once the application successfully satisfies all regulatory requirements, the WPC Wing issues the Equipment Type Approval (ETA) Certificate, allowing the approved wireless product to be legally imported, marketed, and sold in India.

We assist manufacturers and importers in coordinating RF testing through recognized laboratories and ensure the reports are prepared in the format accepted by the WPC authority.
