IEC Registration in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu

This union territory, anchored by the industrial hub of Silvassa, has built a genuine manufacturing base thanks to lower tax rates and proximity to Gujarat and Maharashtra's supply chains — drawing in thousands of small and mid-sized factories that need working capital and equipment finance. That trade and manufacturing base in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu depends on IEC-registered businesses to actually move goods across borders.

For businesses based in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, StartRight4U handles IEC registration from application through to certificate issuance.

Understanding IEC Registration

The Import Export Code, issued by the DGFT, is the mandatory 10-digit registration required before any business or individual can legally import into or export from India. Without it, customs simply won't clear a shipment in either direction — it's a hard prerequisite, independent of any other business registration held.

Why This Code Is Fundamental to Trade

IEC is a lifetime registration that identifies a business across every customs, banking, and DGFT interaction tied to international trade — banks need it to process import/export-related foreign remittances, and customs authorities require it on every shipping bill and bill of entry. Nothing involving cross-border goods movement happens without it.

Eligibility Criteria

• Any proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, trust, or individual involved in import/export
• A valid PAN, since IEC registration is directly tied to it
• An active bank account for trade transactions
• Not required for personal-use imports/exports unconnected to trade or manufacturing

Documents Needed

• PAN card of the applicant
• Business registration proof
• Bank account details, including a cancelled cheque
• Business address proof
• Digital Signature Certificate, where required

How IEC Registration Works

1. Register on the DGFT portal with business and PAN details
2. Complete the online ANF 2A application form
3. Upload required documents, including PAN and bank verification
4. Pay the government fee
5. Receive the IEC certificate as a lifetime registration, updated periodically online
