Importer-Exporter Code Number

Every person/firm/company engaged in export business in India should obtain Importer-Exporter Code Number from the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) as required under the Export and Import Policy. The Head/Registered office as well as its branches in India should invariably cite the number so allotted by DGFT on GR, PP or VP/COD forms as also SOFTEX form used for declaration of exports. Customs/Post Office/Department of Electronics will not entertain any export forms which do not bear the Importer-Exporter Code Number issued by DGFT.
