What is IEC consultancy and who needs it?
IEC consultancy is expert support that takes you from the Import Export Code to live trade. Simply put, it covers every legal step an exporter needs. Therefore, it suits new exporters, traders, and growing manufacturers alike. Above all, it removes guesswork from the process.
The Import Export Code is only the start. After that, you still need an AD Code, GST, and export documents. However, most first-time exporters miss these steps. As a result, their shipments get stuck at customs. So, good IEC consultancy connects every dot, from registration to your first export.
Documents required for IEC registration
You need only a few documents to begin. Also, our team checks each one before filing. As a result, your application rarely faces delay. Here is the full list:
- PAN card of the business or the proprietor
- Aadhaar card of the authorised signatory
- Cancelled cheque or a bank certificate of the current account
- Proof of business address, such as an electricity bill or rent agreement
- Passport-size photograph of the applicant
- Active mobile number and email for OTP verification on the DGFT portal
