Want to know how IEC could be useful for your business? Let’s have a look at how IEC can help you as an exporter or importer:

1. Overseas Trading:

Import Export Code provides you the facility to expand your business over foreign countries. The basic and most important thing you would need while trading oversea is the Importer Exporter Code. IEC opens your road to expansion and growth on foreign lands.

2. Legalise Business overseas:

The code provides you the license to export your goods and services to any other country and to import the essentials of your business to your own country. It makes your trade over cross borders easy and legal.

3. Online Service:

Now Obtaining IEC could be avail at the ease of sitting at home. If you provide accurate and all documents then you could have them at your home. The need to hustle to the government office will not come in the way.

4. Export/Import subsidies:

The government offers benefits such as export subsidies and excise tax concessions in case of import. If the import is completed within the specified time period, some tax relief might be available. In the case of exports, the government offers a subsidy on all export taxes. These advantages are only available to those who are enrolled in the IEC.

5. Necessity at Customs:

The importer's IEC Code must be declared to Customs, and the Bill of Lading must reflect this. All bills of lading for cargo destined for or transshipped through Indian ports must include the Indian consignee's IEC Code.

6. Facilitates Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT):

EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) is a new service offered to exporters that allows them to submit their license fee via the Internet rather than visiting a bank to make the payment. This procedure is being proposed to make electronic payments more convenient. Only electronically filed applications will be accepted.
