IEC โ€” Importer Exporter Code

01 / DGFT

Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is a 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and is mandatory for every business or individual engaged in importing or exporting goods and services from India.

Without an IEC, customs authorities will not allow clearance of your shipments, and banks will not process foreign exchange transactions related to trade. We complete your IEC registration in just 3โ€“5 working days with end-to-end assistance.

๐Ÿ’ก IEC is a one-time registration with no renewal required. It is linked to your PAN and remains valid for the lifetime of the entity.

Why IEC is Critical

Customs clearance of import/export shipments requires IEC. Banks mandate IEC for all foreign remittances related to trade. DGFT schemes like EPCG, Advance Authorisation, and RoDTEP are only available to IEC holders.

EPCG โ€” Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme

02 / DGFT

The EPCG Scheme allows import of capital goods (machinery, equipment, components) at nil or concessional customs duty for use in production of export goods or providing services. The scheme helps businesses modernise technology and reduce capital investment costs.

Against the duty saved, the exporter must fulfil an Export Obligation (EO) of 6x the duty saved within 6 years of licence issuance. We assist with the complete lifecycle โ€” from licence issuance to EO fulfilment and redemption.

๐Ÿ’ก EPCG can save 18โ€“28% of capital goods import cost, making it one of India's most powerful trade support tools for manufacturers.

Advance Authorisation Scheme

03 / DGFT

Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of inputs that are physically incorporated in the export product (making normal allowance for wastage). It exempts customs duty, additional customs duty, anti-dumping duty, and safeguard duty.

The scheme is especially valuable for manufacturers-exporters who import raw materials and process them into finished export goods. Specific Input-Output Norms (SION) define the permitted input-output ratio for hundreds of product categories.

๐Ÿ’ก Advance Authorisation can significantly reduce the landed cost of inputs, making Indian exports more price-competitive globally.

DFIA โ€” Duty Free Import Authorisation

04 / DGFT

Duty Free Import Authorisation (DFIA) is issued on post-export basis. It allows duty-free import of inputs used in the manufacture of export products that have already been shipped. DFIA licences are transferable โ€” they can be sold to another importer after the minimum export obligation is met.

DFIA is the post-export equivalent of Advance Authorisation and is particularly useful when the exporter has already shipped goods without availing the duty-free input benefit at the time of import.

๐Ÿ’ก DFIA licences are freely transferable after obtaining Actual User condition removal, making them a source of additional revenue through licence trading.

RCMC โ€” Registration Cum Membership Certificate

05 / DGFT

RCMC is issued by Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) or commodity boards and is mandatory to avail benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy. It certifies that the holder is a registered exporter of the specified product and is a member of the relevant EPC.

Different products require RCMC from different councils โ€” APEDA for agricultural products, FIEO for general exporters, EEPC for engineering, CHEMEXCIL for chemicals, and so on. We assist you in identifying the correct council and getting registered.

RoDTEP โ€” Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products

07 / Incentive

RoDTEP is India's flagship export incentive scheme that remits all embedded taxes and duties paid on inputs consumed in export production โ€” taxes not rebated through any other mechanism. It replaced the MEIS scheme and is compliant with WTO norms.

Rates are notified product-wise based on HS codes and range from 0.3% to 4.3% of FOB value. The refund is issued as transferable e-scrips that can be used to pay customs duties or sold in the market.

๐Ÿ’ก RoDTEP is available to all exporters regardless of size. Many exporters leave significant money on the table by not claiming it correctly. We ensure zero benefit is missed.

Taxes Covered Under RoDTEP

  • SGST / CGST on inputs (not covered by ITC refund)
  • Mandi tax, electricity duties on manufacturing inputs

Duty Drawback (DBK)

09 / Incentive

Duty Drawback is the rebate of customs and central excise duties paid on inputs used in the manufacture of exported goods. The scheme operates under two rates โ€” the All Industry Rate (AIR) notified by the Ministry of Finance, and Brand Rate for products not covered under AIR or where actual duty paid exceeds the AIR.

DBK is directly credited to the exporter's bank account after shipping bill processing and is one of the oldest and most widely used export incentive mechanisms in India.

All Industry Rate vs Brand Rate

  • AIR applies to majority of export products โ€” notified annually
  • Brand Rate claimed when actual duty paid > AIR refund
  • Special Brand Rate for completely new products not in AIR schedule
