IEC Registration
If you want to export or import anything commercially, your first step is getting an IEC from DGFT. Without it, customs won't release your shipment and your bank won't process the foreign payment. The DGFT portal has improved but still throws errors if your documents aren't exactly right. We handle the registration and get you a working IEC within 2 working days in most cases.
