Applying Import Export Code

The Importer Exporter Code or IEC in short, is normally required by manufacturers and companies for international trade. But with this new RBI ruling, the hundreds and thousands of freelancers, programmers, web designers and small companies who depend on PayPal for foreign payment will also have to apply for an IE code.

Regulatory settings for importers and exporters have significantly been simplified by government over last decade. Nowadays, the lone compulsory regulatory condition for anyone desiring to penetrate import/export business is the IEC. In case the import/export is of services or technology, IEC is needed in only in those cases. Where import/export is carried out in ‘specific services’ or technologies’, i.e. services or technologies in which foreign trade is constrained by the Indian Government as they affect the national security.
