Import & Export Code (IEC)
Ten Digits Between Your Business and the World.
IEC Registration (Import Export Code) is the mandatory credential for any business or individual importing or exporting goods and services from India.
One Code. Three Gatekeepers. Every Door.
▸ At Customs — Clearance & Authentication: Your IEC is how customs authenticates shipments, verifies your trader credentials, and confirms compliance with international trade regulations. No IEC, no clearance — your goods do not move in either direction.
▸ At the Bank — Foreign Currency & RBI Compliance: Banks require a valid IEC before processing any foreign exchange transaction. It is your official authorization for foreign currency accounts and international wire transfers, keeping every cross-border payment legitimate and compliant with Reserve Bank of India regulations — so the money you earn abroad arrives home without questions.
▸ In the Market — Global Supply Chains & E-Commerce: Your IEC unlocks participation in global supply chains, international procurement platforms (including government e-marketplaces), and cross-border e-commerce — connecting you to international suppliers, global buyer networks, and worldwide distribution.
Three different gatekeepers, one identical question: “What is your IEC?” Make sure your business always has the answer.
Beyond Permission — Advantages That Pay for Themselves.
▸ Smooth Customs Clearance — faster clearance, leaner supply chains, and significantly lower logistics costs on every consignment you move.
▸ International Market Access — government-sponsored trade fairs, buyer–seller meet programs, and market exploration initiatives — plus direct access to global marketplaces and foreign buyer networks that multiply your revenue potential.
▸ Enhanced Global Credibility — official verification of your legitimacy in international trade. Foreign buyers, logistics providers, and partners preferentially work with IEC-registered businesses — better positioning, stronger negotiating power, faster trust.
▸ Customs Duty Benefits — duty drawback schemes, preferential tariff rates under free trade agreements, and special economic zone advantages — government-supported cost reductions that land directly on your margin, shipment after shipment.
Most credentials cost money. This one earns it back — on the very first container.
The World Is Buying. With BSM, You’re Selling.
Without an IEC Code, your business remains invisible to international markets — unable to legally import raw materials, export finished products, or receive foreign currency from global clients. Many entrepreneurs dream of expanding internationally but delay this one registration, held back by complex documentation, unclear procedures, and the fear of regulatory mistakes.
Your business deserves global opportunities — and the path to them is shorter than you think.
BSM transforms IEC registration from complexity into confidence and market access:
▸ You gain speed — rapid, accurate processing so you can start importing or exporting without delay; your first international transaction weeks closer than you expected.
▸ You gain accuracy — documentation prepared right the first time, so your IEC matches your business records exactly and never trips a customs or banking verification later.
▸ You gain a trade-ready foundation — because BSM also manages GST registration, MSME registration, and every statutory compliance your import-export operation will lean on — one partner for the whole journey.
Your products are ready. Your buyers exist. Ten digits stand between you and them — let BSM get you those digits, fast.
