Services we offer

Everything iec registration should include — and usually doesn’t.

Eligibility & document check

We confirm you're filing under the right constitution (proprietorship, partnership, company) and check PAN, ID and bank details before submission.

DGFT portal filing

Application filed on the DGFT e-IEC portal with the correct codes and declarations, reducing the chance of a query kicking the application back.

AD code linking guidance

We explain how to link your IEC to your bank's AD (Authorised Dealer) code — required before you can actually ship through customs.

Modification & updates

Already have an IEC? We handle address, bank or director changes, and the annual update DGFT requires to keep it active.

Query & rejection handling

If DGFT raises a clarification, we respond directly — you're not the one deciphering department correspondence.

Starter compliance guidance

A plain-English rundown of what having an IEC actually obligates you to, so it doesn't sit as an unused number on a shelf.

Fixed fees, government charges shown separately

Our service fee is quoted upfront; any DGFT, GST or FSSAI government charge is shown separately so you're never guessing what's ours and what's the department's.

One point of contact, not a chain of agents

Sourcing, freight, customs and registration handled by one accountable team instead of a supplier's agent, a freight forwarder and a filing consultant who don't talk to each other.

Documents checked before filing

Applications are reviewed against the actual requirement list before submission — the single biggest reason filings get rejected or delayed.

Queries handled, not forwarded to you

When DGFT, GST or FSSAI raises a clarification, we respond directly rather than passing a confusing notice back to you to decode.

Built for India, the USA and the UK

Sourcing and freight routes into three markets, plus the India-specific compliance — IEC, GST, FSSAI — that governs shipping out of and into the country.

Honest about timelines

Government and customs timelines are set by the relevant authority, not by us — we give you the real range up front instead of promising a date we don't control.

Smart investment

Why iec registration is one of the smartest investments you’ll make.

Not a cost to minimise — money that comes back, in ways you can point to a year from now.

Fewer customs delays

Correct HS codes and complete documentation prepared up front mean fewer shipments held at port while paperwork gets fixed after the fact.

One vendor, one invoice

Sourcing, freight and compliance under one engagement cuts the coordination overhead of managing several separate vendors and reconciling separate bills.

A registration that's actually usable

An IEC linked to an AD code, or a GST registration with returns actually filed, is worth more than a certificate sitting unused because a follow-up step was never done.

Landed cost you can price against

Duty, freight and clearance modelled before you commit means your pricing reflects the real delivered cost, not a guess that erodes margin later.

Fewer penalties for missed deadlines

Return filing and licence renewal tracked on a calendar avoids the late fees and lapses that come from a compliance date nobody was watching.

A relationship that outlasts one filing

The same team that registers you is available for the next renewal, amendment or shipment — not a one-off filing service you have to re-explain your business to.

How it works

How we deliver iec registration — step by step.

01

Document check

We review what you already have against the exact requirement list, so you know upfront what's missing before we file anything.

Application preparation

Forms and supporting documents prepared and checked for errors that commonly cause a rejection or a query from the department.

03

Filing & follow-up

Submitted through the official portal and tracked; queries raised by the department are answered promptly on your behalf.

04

Approval & handover

Certificate or registration handed over with a plain-English explanation of what it covers and any ongoing compliance it creates.
